compositions in Malayalam

Post by sajith »

Hi
I and my brother have teamed up to compose Keerthanams in Malayalam. Just wanted to check if there are any topics/forums where we could discuss this

I enjoyed your composition. I am not any composer. However purely based on my listening experience this is what I felt.

Your devotion to the lord comes through intensely.

I think for word formation to improve on your future compositions, it will be nice if you draw inspiration from compositions like this:

http://www.swathithirunal.in/htmlfile/146.htm

A more recent one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TB8QEela00 - by the way an appeal - she should sing this in every concert of hers for rasikas to improve their rasana. It really takes her breath out. Infact once as a supplemental coddler in No 4 spot ( for early leavers) and once during post pallavi/main session (for late comers)! How about that?

or one from golden times:

Item no 15 in https://www.sangeethamshare.org/gvr/SSI ... t-concert/ - and while you are at it listen to Mridangam's every syllable carefully! And many times and make it into your bones.

Also we live in times of karaoke with melody as music: https://archive.org/details/AUD20170606WA0004 - that to me is more the impediment to music than your devotion.

This will avoid the specter of IAS retirees writing in The Hindu that some composers who are not perfect in music are mere devotees!
