Nata Kuranji/ Nattai Kurinji

prashant · Post by **prashant** » 22 Sep 2006, 14:14

DRS / Lakshman Sir: is a rendering / notation available for the SEShaNNA varNam? Also thanks for pointing out nIdu mUrtini which is a lovely krithi.

Most of you might have seen this, but for those who haven't, Carnatica has an informative writeup on nATakurinji

http://carnatica.net/newsletter/natakur ... letter.htm

It's interesting to read the divergent views on the role of the panCama and even more divergent views on dIkshitar's use of panCama. Personally I think the usage of this swara is integral to the beauty of the rAgA - the madhyama and dhaivata of nATakurinji are very dominant so it's a useful stepping stone between them [bad analogy I know since both MPD and DPM are not allowed

].

One piDi which GNB sang to startling effect in his RTP suite was DNsNNDDPP,,, DN,,, [s - tAra sthAyi]. Only he could pull that off, I think. I am sure the TRS RTP which venkatpv has posted must be full of ideas further pushing the limits of this rAgA.

SDP is a legitimate phrase in the rAga

NDPDNS* sounds fine. Remember that nATakuranji is a rakti as well as ghana rAga. It is not scalar.

prashant · Post by **prashant** » 22 Sep 2006, 14:41

DRS Sir: NDPDNS* is definitely fine. I was trying to bring attention to the NDDPP prayOgA and the halt which GNB gave at the panCama.

Lakshman · Post by **Lakshman** » 22 Sep 2006, 17:41

In the tillAnA I posted a word is missing in the second line of the caraNa. It should read:
nannu rakSincuTakidi samayamurA dharaNija manOhara shrInivAsa

My Thiruppugazh guruji A. S Raghavan has set 'thiraivanja iruvinaigaL' to a beautiful Nata Kuranji, and it starts with D N S S S N D D M (Khanda Chapu Tala).

Guruji has composed several other tirupugazh in Nattaikuriji. Perhaps you would recall "Eenamigu..." which also starts S....N D M.... GMPGRS"

Yes, In fact SSP lists the mUrchane as S R G M P D N S - S N D M G S

and says the rAga has to be learnt from lakshya!

This is available in "Compositions of Vina Seshanna" by B.K.Padmanabha Rao, H Yoganarasimham and R.N.Doreswami-Published by Sangeetha Kalavardhini, Mysore, 1963.
Maybe DRS can get hold of a copy.

Hello Srinidhi,
I learnt 'Eena Migutthula' too, but I quoted 'thiraivanja' since it is a more detailed piece. I also learnt 'Arumugam' in Nata Kuranji, in addition to Mohanam. 'Suruthi mudi' and 'Aanada pirudhi' are also in the same raga, but I have't learnt them yet.

I see that there is one other non-samashti charanam MD kriti in this raga, viz 'Balambikayai Namaste'. Never heard it being sung. Does anyone have an electronic copy?

Dr. Shrikaant, just for getting some clarity, could you please spell out the arohana/avarohana of this raga, and also some sequences that are not permitted? It seems that the raga is quite catholic in its admittance of swara sequences.

arunk · Post by **arunk** » 23 Sep 2006, 04:26

there is a papanasam sivan pada varnam "swAmi nAn undan aDimai" (Adi 2-kalai) which is a fantastic, heavy weight composition.

The kriti I have learned is by SRInivAsulu, and begins with the sAhitya, "ninnumincina varEvvaramma nikhilalOka janani nIvE ambA." I have never heard of a commercial recording of this kriti, and would be very interested to hear one (I have heard one or two recordings of MDR singing nIdu mUrtini). I will try to make a recording soon.

meena:
That was a wonderful clip of nIdu mUrtini. I always wondered how nATTaikuranji would sound in madhyamakAla compositions, and hearing your clip I got the answer. The chauka kAla krithis can be sedate (i.e. budhamAShrayAmi, manasu vishaya etc.), while the madhyamakAla krithis can be vigorous, lively compositions to uplift the concert ambiance.

Ashwin: do you have the notation for the composition you mentioned?

venkatpv: Would it be possible to re-upload Sri TRS's RTP? I missed it first time around in this thread. Thanks in advance and sorry for the trouble.

here goes...

http://www.rogepost.com/dn/dybd

the pallavi is 'ninaippom manimozhi vazhi nadappom, mahatma gandhiyai"

the last round of swaras, TRS sings SDNSMGM... MSGMNDN.. SDNSMG ninaippom NSDNM.. MPGMR.. NSD vazhi nadappom... awesome stuff!!!

btw, can someone tell me the tala for this pallavi...

prashant · Post by **prashant** » 08 Oct 2006, 09:30

Venkat: this is a superb pallavi setup. Simple but very sophisticated. Here are the calculations:

"ninaippOm maNimozhivazhi naDappOm, mahAtmA gAndhiyai"

misra tripuTa [tisra gati]

1 beat = 6 aksharAs. The tALA is 7 + 4 = 11 beats long. Therefore 11 x 6 = 66 total aksharAs.

The pallavi starts 1 beat = 6 aksharAs after samam i.e. on the 'little finger'.

Calculations:

ni = 3; nai = 3; ppOm = 6 [Total 12]

ma = 2; Ni = 3; mo = 3; zhi = 6 [Total 14]

va = 2; zhi = 2; na = 3; Da = 3 [Total 10]

Arudi at 'ppOm' = 10 [Total 10]

ma = 3; hAt = 3; mA = 4 [Total 10]

gAn = 4; dhi = 2; yai = 4 [Total 10]
Note: sometimes he sings this as gAn = 3; dhi = 3; yai = 4 [Total 10]

12 + 14 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 66 aksharAs

Corrections welcome. Hope this is of help.

BTW, the kAmbhOji swarams are just spectacular!!

sri. venkat, do u think u can post some more RTPs by sri. TRS?

i remember sri. kulkarni had posted a host of RTPs by TRS a long time ago; i dled all of them, but unfortunately lost them when my computer became overrun with viruses.

if u have any of them, i humbly request u to post some of them again, if it is not too much trouble.

thanx

Would very much like to hear Ambujam KrishnA's
nADith thavikkudaDI, en uLLAm--if anyone has it and would kindly share it. kOlam kANa vArIr is a more popular song of hers in nAtak kurinji...

Ashwin · Post by **Ashwin** » 09 Oct 2006, 02:10

Venkat, thanks so much for posting TRS Mama's pallavi - I cant help but feel in the renditions of these great masters that their intention is not only to entertain but to educate on the usage of these ragas - take for instance TRS Mama's tactful avoidance/judicious inclusion of pancama in nATakuraNji - simply brilliant.

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 09 Oct 2006, 06:50

I had asked for Ambujam Krishna's song 'nADith thavikkudaDI'. It occurs to me that it is a rAgamAlikA starting with nATak kurinji followed by Ananda bhairavi and mOhanam...

prashant · Post by **prashant** » 09 Oct 2006, 10:07

Over the weekend, I was browsing through 'Pallavi Swara Kalpavalli' listing Vinai Kuppayyar's songs, and there is an awesome nATakurinji aTa tALa varNa in it! Interestingly, all the swara passages appended to the CaraNA end in 'SGGM' - the varNa has several incidences of this prayOga also. Beautiful piece.

Vocalist · Post by **Vocalist** » 09 Oct 2006, 12:40

Perhaps to make the discussion on the masterpiece RTP complete, the meaning of the pallavi should be posted too

Vocalist · Post by **Vocalist** » 09 Oct 2006, 12:42

arasi, I'm not sure about that item as I haven't heard it yet. I do know of one "Thedi Thavikkudadi, En Ullam"...but that's a one rAgA piece in another rAgam, and not sure if its Ambujam Krishna's.

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 09 Oct 2006, 20:32

Vocalist,
I do not think it is hers. In the one I have mentioned, the anu pallavi goes like this: vADIth thaviththu mazhai mugam pArkkum sAdakam pOl endan mAdavanai ninaindu (nADith thavikkudaDI en uLLam).

Lakshman · Post by **Lakshman** » 09 Oct 2006, 20:43

Here is the Ambujam Krishna song.

nADi-tavikkudaDi. rAgamAlikA. Adi tALA.

(rAgA: nATakuranji)
P: nADit-tavikkudaDi en uLLam nAdit-tavikkudaDi
A: vAdit-tuDittu mazhaimukham pArkkum sAtakam pOl enran mAdhavanai ninaindu
Anandabhairavi
C1: innamudam pozhi kuzhalUdi kanniyen manam koLLai koNDAn
(rAgA: mOhana)
2: kUDik-kaLittup-pin konjamum dayavinri mODi sheidEgiya mukundanai ninaindu

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 09 Oct 2006, 21:56

Thank you Lakshman.

In the mOhana verse--though there is barely a difference: mODi seydEgina instead of Egiya. Of course, alliteratively it fits in too. The book has it that way as well...

Thanks prashant. I tried to figure it out myself but could not get it done. The tisra gathi is what tripped me up. With this info, I will try to keep the beat and see for myself if I can comfortably do it. Thanks.

This Ragam has not been discussed before. (Correct me if Iam wrong). I heard one song from the film Sivakavi by MKT .. The song is

"Kavalyai Theerpadhu Nattiya Kalaye" (Nrithya Kala will wipe out your sorrows)." wherein he ends the song with "Ragaththil siRandhadhu NattakuRinji" (Nattakurinji is the best among the Ragas).

Why did he mention this ? what is so special in this Raga or is it because that song was in that Raaga, so that- this raga was praised.

While listening to GNB's RTP in NK, I feel this is the best raga (and rendition too)...

Hi I did hear a live concert of SSI accompanied by LGJ and he sang a brilliant Nattaikuranji RTP .. Subramanyan Namaste namaste I had a recording of that concert but have lost the same. The accompaniment of Lalgudi adds majesticity to the RTP.It is one of the best RTP in that raga that I have heard... BFN Raghavan

If interested, please check my blog for a post on nATakurinji: http://sunson.wordpress.com/2007/09/24/ ... a-kulirchi .

Some audio samples, and some analysis - but strictly just a rasika's (read amateur) perspective. Please feel free to comment and offer suggestions. If you find any mistakes, apologies in advance - please let me know and I will correct them.

arunk: Nice writeup on nATTakuranji. You probably know there is a very famous pallavi, "nATTai kurinji enbar, ciRanda engaLadu.." in this rAga.

parAkela saraswati - Tirupati Narayanaswamy? - sung by gayathri venkat
kandan Sevai Anro ?? -LGJ - sung by saketharaman with excellent shruthi suddham

Mahesh_narayanan
After i posted my last post ,did discover a very good explanation from prashant. Tx.Can you let me know who are the singers whom you heard singing mAyamma in nAttaikurinji, just for my curiosity,if you recollect?

LGJ's song is Kandhan seyal andro (ellaam..)
