What a class composition of Calcutta K S Krishnamurti, who was an insightful composer and a performer as well. I have read that KSK completed the Sangeeta Bhooshanam diploma course at the Annamalai University. He was privileged, like other students of the music college in Chidambaram those days, to have teachers like Tiger Varadachariar, Tanjavur Ponniah Pillai, Madurai Subramanya Iyer and Sattur Krishna Iyengar, and learn music in what really amounted to a collegiate gurukulam. Later he studied a further three years with Sattur Krishna Iyengar in Bangalore. He belonged to Kallidaikurichi in Tirunelveli district, but acquired the prefix of Calcutta since he lived and worked there for many years and was popularly known as KSK. He passedaway in the year 1999 at his age-78. Pranams... Here the "Sari nIke galadaa" is on goddess Madurai Meenakshi is so exclusive while the composer describes the Goddess as Yoga-Maya! Certainly sees a wonderful dimension for soulful rendition of ragam- Kanada in this krithi. Kanada is a janya of Mela 22 Kharaharapriya ragam, without Panchamam in arohanam and Dhaivatham in avarohanam; so that the structure will be S R2 G2 M1 D N2 S // S N2 P M1 G2 M1 R2 S (There are other different structures also seen like S R2 P G2 M1 D2 N2 S // S N2 P M1 G2 M1 R2 S).The raga is one of the easiest to identify; it sets a comparatively sad mood. Yes..Kaanad's notes in the descent follow a convoluted pattern, being a vakra ragam and the KakaliNishadam influences the rendition for beautiful phrases. I am reminded of the Maharaja Swathi Thirunal kriti- 'Maa mava sadaa janani mahishaasura sutani (amba)'. The song is presented very melodiously by Sandeep Narayan. He has acquired the skill to sing while the ragam stresses on gamakas or the graces and as it is marked by minute nuances! Very sweet rendition. best wishes
Brilliant. I am running out of superlative epithets ... This trio are a great combination. Sandeep is there something you can't do in Carnatic music..? A very compelling repertoire.
