For instance, in your "comments" you seem to regularly confuse shuddha and prati madhyama notes, or are unaware of the distinction.<br /><br />Barring the vitriol, your feedback is nevertheless appreciated,<br /><br />regards,<br />Bala,<br />webmaster@charulathamani.comwebmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11752432935131462526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777443793346061609.post-58444705314707877792012-02-19T20:43:13.789-08:002012-02-19T20:43:13.789-08:00In the mail sent to you yesterday on the subject m...In the mail sent to you yesterday on the subject matter kindly correct the music composer of the soulful Subhapantuvarali devotional song “Kaalai ilam kadhiril undhan kaatchi theriyudhu” sung excellently by Sirgazhi Govindharajan as M Ranga Rao.

Your previous "corrections" which were themselves incorrect reminded me of Pope's famous observation:<br />"A little learning is a dangerous thing; <br />drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: <br />there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, <br />and drinking largely sobers us again."<br /><br />shankarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777443793346061609.post-8390982262871491112012-02-19T04:00:25.671-08:002012-02-19T04:00:25.671-08:00Depending on the handling of the Madhyama, and Nis...Depending on the handling of the Madhyama, and Nishada, shades of Subhapantuvarali, Bhavapriya, or Lalit will be evoked. Film music directors have no compulsion to stick to any one raga, hence these overlaps and ambiguities.<br /><br />If Mr. Kumarasawamy spends more of his time on actually listening to the songs or cultivating a sense of pitch or ear for music, he would not be over-emphatically (and pedantically) classifying some of these tunes, in many cases second-guessing the composer himself!Dr Charulatha Mani Carnatic vocalist and Playback singerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14784888697059203709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777443793346061609.post-37988376660864152972012-02-19T03:53:24.290-08:002012-02-19T03:53:24.290-08:00...much of kumaraswamy's usual pompous ranting......much of kumaraswamy's usual pompous ranting truncated... <br /><br />The versatility of Ilaiyaraja had already been reflected in “Aayiram thaamarai mottukkaley” from Alaigal Oyivadhillai(1981) and some dozen songs that followed suit from the same composer in the same tune during the same decade.
