Cool, you are adding one more self taught musician BMK in addition to manakkAl and GS mani. In general this krithi was taken to concerts mostly by self taught musicians. BTW I have not heard gnb,mmi,ssi ,ariyakudi, and also mdr-tiger, musiri and TNS rendering kamalApta kula !!!coolkarni wrote:kamalApta kula krithi , not heard from any artist who are in their era or in the previous golden period era.
Rajesh
Kamalapthakula appears quite often in Vintage BMKs scheme of things .
In the commercial album with Palladam on Harmonium , in BMK's Kensington Concert
Malladi Bros have sung it a couple of times for AIR
Is it possible that since malladi had sung , may be there is one by nedunuri ?

Dear Nageswaran
please check your vol 3 u/l. Some of the files are too small. For example Shanmukapriya plays only for 37 secs and is abruptly cut out. The final Hameer kalyani also is too short. It will be nice if you can correct the files. Thank you immensely and of course with gratitude to Vid|| GS Mani.

cmlover,
Long time no seeing your posts in any of my threads.
The conversion of the tapes to CDs of Sri G.S.Mani was done 15 years ago. Then I was interested in listening to the concert on daily basis [As Mr. Cho said.]. Perhaps the Shanmukapriya information might have been at the end of the tape [of one side and continued in the next side] for a small duration [VOL 2 OF 3 ] which was marked as one track. On seeing the balance of information continued in the next side of the tape, I have joined the whole information and this has been marked as another track and is available in the upload [in VOL 3 OF 3].
G.S Mani is mentioning HamirKalyani and Ahir Bairav in his speech. Only HamirKalyani is marked as one track. I remember Sri Mani had given an excellent Alapana of Ahir Bairav and what the singer should do to differentiate Ahir Bairav and Chakravakam. To crown it all the concert, a very good Mangalam was sung.
Now I have to search the tapes and check up and bring out the missing portions.
Thank you cmlover in pointing out the small irregularities.
I Have already requested you to visit my thread "V.S.Narasimhan, Violinist "[through forum mail ], I have not seen any comments of your post in that thread. In the same way I have sent forum mail to arasi and srkris also. There is some important message to the Rasikas in USA and Canada. Information about musical treasure is waiting for the Rasikas in western countries.
cmlover, arasi, and srkris do visit the thread "V.S.Narasimhan, Violinist"

I bought many cvd's & dvd's of the oldies where the great Papanasam Sivan wrote the music; Jagadalapradhaban starring P.U.Chinnappa & SIVA KAVI starring M.K.Thyagaraja Bhagavathar & S.Rajam(his last appearance in a movie; His wife asked him not to act in movies anymore!). The discussion(by NAGESWARAN & CMLOVER) & the mere mention of the names of G.S.Mani (&S.Rajam) inspired me to carefully watch both movies after 65 years! First time I saw them I was too young & NOW I realise HOW GREAT THEY ARE! Please allow me to share my current EXCITEMENT with you..... I am going to comment ONLY on the music part-written by Sivan- as I do not have the ability, excellence,& knowledge of Sri.Randor Guy except to say thet if allowance is made for advances in Technolgy in the past 70 years these movies are OUTSTANDING to say the least.....pgaiyar wrote:

My interest in Carnatic music I HAVE NOW CONCLUDED started when I saw the Tamil movies in which Sivan was responsible for the music. It has been said- I totally agree- that whether one sings for 30 seconds, 3 minutes or 30 minutes the ESSENCE & TOTALITY of the raga & music should be conveyed. Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar was the PRIME EXAMPLE of this & all the musicians of the GOLDEN AGE(1945-1975) tried to emulate him.Sivan's music for films exemplifies this principle & a SAHITYA KARTHA of his stature inspired M.K.Thyagaraja Bhagavathar to write into his contract that SIVAN should compose the music for him to act in the movie! Madurai Mani Iyer(quoting S.Rajam) was the first person who brought out the greatness of Sivan's compositions by making them HIS own!
We should be ETERNALLY grateful & thank M.K.T. & M.M.I. for pointing out the greatness of Sivan to all of us....
THE BEST WAY TO LEARN HOW TO IDENTIFY RAGAS is to just listen to SIVAN'S music for the movies. No wonder the very talented & capable as well as intelligent musician & scholar G.S.Mani has used his music to explain the subtelities of ragas etc......VKV

After Thyagaraja the next greatest/prolific composer is P Sivan. His service to CM and Tamil is unimaginable. Whence he is proudly called 'The Tamil Thyagaraja'!
MMI and DKJ are primarily responsible for bringing his genius to light in the CM world. IIRC GS Mani was closely associated with him on the CM movie songs!

Dear vkv, cmlover and Rasikas,
I have opened a new thread "Evolution of carnatic music in films" to day.
I have touched upon the contributions of Sivan for the carnatic music krithis in Tamil and his contributions to film music.
The efforts of MMI and DKJ in popularising Tamil krithis of Sivan and a LEC-DEM on Sivan by Sri DKJ.
Kindly visit the thread and post your valuable comments in the thread.

Wonderful right up ,I got to know significantly more about madurai gold standard mani especially his poojarajitha mudrA. What I always like in him is his perspectives of different genres of music will be taken and be anchored to one branch of music that he presents.

Re: Madurai G.S.Mani
Quite a precise summary of today's film music. I did not know he still acts as a consultant and advisor to music directors. May be some of the film songs with interesting carnatic flavor are created with input from him. Next time someone encounters him, please ask which movies he had consulted for.Mani, now at the age of 77, is a consultant and advisor to many present-day music directors of Tamil cinema. So what does the veteran think about today's film music? “It has gone too mechanized but the orchestration has developed well,”

Re: Madurai G.S.Mani
Madurai Gold Standard Mani explaining MSV the creator:
=====================================
The extraordinary madurai GOld Standard Mani is a spectacular musician . Without any inhibitions he just appreciates creators of music. MSV is a legend, see what kind of tunes and the process of how msv got these tunes as GSMani elucidates contextually with relevant snippets.
Particularly his explanation of talents like MSV and Kannadasan combo and also one or two extremely complex songs of Pattukkottai kalyanasundram where MSV just like that tunes .
All said ,Gold Standard Mani was right there as an assistant music director to MSV. At the age of 85/86 see how GS mani sings with passion and explains with passion. As a pureplay carnatic musician this genius GS Mani had his own limitation as a performing carnatic musician, but he as a stalwart of world music that too being in trenches with musicians like MSV KVM and many before that he genuninely fallings at the feet of music devathai is humility at its best.
https://youtu.be/U7esV4AWgu4?t=240 - start
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQbo2X-pCik - This is also superb
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sixJLiIDdz4 kannadasan and MSV
Check all other links especially his talk in Russian consulate in 2019.
I personally did not know the below song in kalyani sung by Seergazhi and MLV that I heard after GS Mani sir explained . Encapsulation of perhaps 25 core karnatic krithis ,all in a 3 and half minute kalyani- MLV rocking with her superb rendition. The song has a whole chapter of prose as poetry and what a great tunesmith was MSV , thanks to GS Mani sir who explained it .
Has Covid made me like even melakartha 65.

Re: Madurai G.S.Mani
Madurai Gold Standard Mani writeup in The Hindu dated July 16th,2021. Nice writeup hope more practioners bring his compositions. When GSM sir performed in the home of Late Nageswaran Sir home, i recollect that day he sang his own sudda saarang krithi as main (rajendra tanaye .....???). Great musician who can connect film , hindustani and ofcourse carnatic all with ease and he calls spade a spade. Out of all this tukkadas i think his naalai varum endru nambalaama in chandrakauns is his flagship krithi
