See this topic
http://rasikas.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=996
But at the end of that topic, I am as confused as I was at the beginning. But I am going to say that, Jhinjoti as is called in Karnataka is same as Senjurutti in Tamil Nadu, when applied to Carnatic Music. I have no idea of Hindustani Jhinjoti

This depends on the space and time of reference IMO..rajeshnat wrote:pvr246,
My point about the thillAnA is ,the rAgam is in shenjuruTTI and not jinjOti as both are different rAgAs.
In Karnataka, the name jhanjhUTi is normally used, whether there is anyaswara prayOga or not. From my experience, in Tamil nadu, chenchurutti is the version without anya swaras, and jhanjhUTi to the version with anya swaras.
I believe the intention of the composer was not to use anya swaras in this tillAna.

There is a nice CD titled Veeneya Bedagu - compositions of Veene Sheshanna produced by by Vara Enterprises Bangalore.
Mysore V Subramanya, Veene Sheshanna's great-grandson has co-ordinated the production of this CD, wherein Vidushi Rajalakshmi Thirunarayanan has rendered Sheshanna compositions.
In the volume 2 that I have, there are eight compositions including two swarajatis, one varna, two keerthanas (in ganamurthi and an elaborate rishabhapriya), and three thillanas.
There are some contact phone numbers on the CD cover - I can send an email with that info. if any one is interested.
There must be a volume 1 of this series. I could get only volume 2 in a store in Bangalore about two years back.

Re: Veena seshanna compositions
Sreeni,
In a Lec-Dem last year at Gayana Samaja ( Veenaya Bedagu 25th jul 2010) on Veena Seshanna's compositions, Vid D.Balakrishna, introduced some of his thillanas , there were few rare and interesting ones. The one in Sankarabharanam, one in thODi and kEdAram were very good. Have you come across any vocal rendition of these ? The thODi one especially was very good. He was explaining that this thillana has phrases which are 'gamaka-mukta' ( plain notes).

Re: Veena seshanna compositions
Jayan,
No, I have not come across any vocal versions of the tillAna-s that you mention. That is my lament here. We don't hear much of Veene Sheshanna's compositions.
I am hoping there might be some vocal recordings ( R K Srikantan?). And, I am hoping that this thread will generate some interest and bring out such hidden treasures!

Re: Veena seshanna compositions
In Amrithavarshini FM 100.1 they aired a program spanning 3-4 weeks of all compositions of Veena seshanna, a couple of months back.
Never got to record it. But it was a very good program. Artists who participated were R. K. Srikantan, M. S. Sheela ...

Raman,
Good to know about the program from Bangalore radio station's Amritavarshini channel.
I hope someone has recorded this program and will share with us!
