coolkarniji, bilahari thanks a lot for the downloadables.
My point is during the current season why no artist is venturing into nerval, kalpana swara in ririgaula though they sing/play an elaborate alapana. It is not just one concert or one artist but in 3 concerts 3 different artists as mentioned in my above post. I was just wondering how come all artists would have decided to bestow the same treatment to ritigaula?

svkashyap, it was done at the request of members ( especially rajeshnat ) and it made sense to merge them because this latest round of discussions on kalpanaswaras of rithigowla belongs under the ritigowla topic. You have successfully rekindled interst in the discussion about aspects of this raga. What was the original intention of your post and why do you feel it is lost?

Cool
Thanks so much for the voleti clip. That was some awesome ritigaula. What a wonderful musician! See the kind of rAga swaroopa he brought out of it! What a shame he passed on with an alpAyu. I had the privilege of listening to him live a few times and then gawking at him at close quarters after the katcheris - a large, large-hearted and extremely mild-mannered man.

reetigowlai perhaps I can say with a sure conviction that it is the rAga that you would have heard quite likely without knowing its name for quite few years in your childhood /teen days , you would have internalised it enough in your head even if the medium is not carnatic music concert.
The earliest reetigowlai that I heard was BMK's cinna kannan azhaikiran music of illayarAja, there is another lovely rAman kathai kelungal which illayarAja got a national award for that movie in telugu which was dubbed in thamizh as sippikkul muthu.AR rahman has handled it bit differently in the song azhagAna rakshashiyE in mudhalvan.
BUT one number that stands out so much from all that I have mentioned above is one rare song named thalayai kuniyum thAmaraye from the film Oru Odai nadiyAgirathu , spb and some female singer with illayarAja tuning that, you have to search "thalayai kuniyum" in youtube to get that , felt not appropriate to post it here.
Why this film detour , just to illustrate that this rAga has the lowest barrier for any one to appreciate CM, I would like to call it as "reetigowlai -gateway to carnatic music"
Now coming back to svkashyap as to why neraval and swaras were not sung much , I guess it just got lost in the mega parent kharaharapriya as it is crowded with so many lovely rAgas as siblings . Few singers /songs who have taken reetigowlai all from increasing order of my liking
5. Neyveli sir's reetigowlai especially in the last kutcheri season where he sang neraval for makisEkaran mahaNE in tatvamaria tharamA
4. GuruvayUr appaNE appan by santhAnam which is an ambujam krishna composition.
3. and 2. I can't choose between semmangudi and madurai mani though I feel semmangudi has brought the rAga + krithi charm in an exalted state especially Janani ninuvinA, mmi for his swaras.
1. But one musician who easily beats all of them in reetigowlai is Prof TRS , there is one rAga ratnamALichake where he sings neraval and swarams . I am assuming all of you would have downloaded that.
BUT HEAR THIS SUPER BLISS trs-thatvamariya tharama (R S) - reetigowlai - psivan especially when he cruises from 15:29 seconds bliss what a control in breadth and manodharmam with zero violin return, what a swara kalpana downpour , TRS is indeed a genius, #1 musician in reetigowlai race beating all the participants from ariyakudi to rithvik rAjA .

I do know that "reetigowlai is gateway to carnatic music" but definitely for 4 year old , it is a big mega surprise. Does she know that she is ringing reetigowlai(I am assuming not).

If we accept SSP as the gold standard for Dikshitar kritis, then I have to say that TMK's version of Shri Neelotpalanayike comes closest in terms of authenticity. Not only does he sing it with Suddha Dhaivatam (as it should be sung), he also adheres to the SSP very closely (almost note for note).
With all due respect to BMK et al, I don't know why anyone would sing it with D2.
Also, I noticed in the BMK version that he does not sing the SwarAksharams correctly.
For e.g. in the Charanam, "samasta vishvOtpatti sthiti layAdi kAlE", the "pa" in vishvOtpa needs to be sung at P. BMK sings it at S. Things like this tend to take away from the richness and grandeur of the kriti, IMHO.
TMK version can be found on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-_gDV_hUd0

What an excellent rendition with top-quality accompanying artistes! There could be no better support for a krithi of this scale [indeed for any Dikshitar krithi, especially] than Sri RKSK on the violin. The mrudangam and the ghatam by Sri KAP and Sri Udupa accentuate the song perfectly...
Dikshitar's genius is just incredible in this song, especially in the CaraNa... he just keeps determinedly exploring the mandhra sthAyi through the opening movements, and then comes the magical pivot that gives a whole new color to the song, that clear and strong panCama for 'tyA'in the line 'viTanka tyAgarAja mOhita viCitra lIlE' for a brief soar into the tAra sthAyi before the beauty that is 'pankaja nayana vishAlE' and the tender finish at 'shAradA gAna lOlE'...
Dikshitar at his finest! [Disclaimer: I tend to say this for pretty much every Dikshitar krithi ].

When I heard that rendition for the first time in San Jose, I was bowled over and remained addicted to that krithi for a while. Sometimes, I'd be like a zombie listening to that krithi again and again. I had to update my blog after that dedicating it to that krithi. That was also the krithi that sort of revealed Dikshithar to me. I've been revering Dikshithar ever since. The beauty and intelligence in his krithis is simply amazing. I consider myself fortunate enough to be able to appreciate his krithis.

Re: Reethigowla / Ritigowla
Prashant thanks very much for the quick scan of compositions, and Arun for the SSP lookup. The youtube you mentioned was the same link I'd posted a few messages ago.
I wonder if a search of rItigaula AlApanAs would turn up the same finding. Volunteers could listen to their favorite musicians/recordings and report...

Hi everyone,
I got a copy of Pallavi Swara Kalpavalli by Tiruvottriyur Tyagayyar.
In that book, there is a section called Ragachhayaswaramulu where he notes the following for Reetigaula (provided as a janya of Natabhairavi)
S G2 M1 N2 D2 M1 N2 S - S N2 D2 M1 G2 M1 D1 P M1 G2 R2 S - N2 P N2 N2 S
Are there any renderings with the mix of D2 and D1 as mentioned above?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Reethigowla / Ritigowla
Long long back ( sometime in 1962), I had heard 'janani ninnu vinA', in a radio program ( Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer). Elders in my family, then told me that it was a masterpiece. ( composer was Subbaraya Sastry..son of Shyama Sastri and desciple of both Thyagaraja and Dikshithar). It was very slow and moving rendition.
Has anyone mentioned it in this long thread? have I missed?
(edit)
Went through all the posts in this thread just now, and found that Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer's rendition ,of janani ninnuvina , has been referred to by a few . almost right in the first page!
