The composition of St. Thyagaraja, " rAmA ninnE namminAnu.." by T.N. Rajarathnam Pillai was one of the authetic Husenis of the yesteryears.

One has to mention the "rAjan maharAjan" of MKT depicting clearly all the intricacies of this rAga.

It was THIS MEDIA I was referring to in the Secular Theme thread. How can one forget the " tirai danda isai.."( Music by movies) or nAtTTiyap pADalkaL ( Songs for dance) ( programs by Sri Lankan Broadcasting Corporation).

Are you referring to EmAyalADirA sAmi.... for some reason I had an idea that the composer of this piece had heard and modeled this composition based on pAhimAm brhannAyikE as some of the ciTTasvara passages emulate that of the latters', e.g. pp,p SS, S nSndndp,...
Well, it is the swarajati (with its textual variants of Merattur Venkatrama Shastri, Veerabhadrayya etc ) that were the original and pAhimam brhannAyike which is the clone - the former preceding the latter by atleast half a century - if not a century!! I am also looking for a vocal rendition of EmAyalADira - Could someone tell me if the said Pinakapani lecture has a rendition of the Swarajathi. If it is, could someone please share a copy?

'Aadum varAi avar AadaTTum' by the great composer 'Oothukkaadu Venkata Kavi' is a beautiful piece in Husseini . A tiruppugazh 'IyalIsai' is frequently sung in Husseini

Mr. Mohan,

I have 'Rama ninne Namminanu' by Maharajapuram Santhanam tagged as Mohanam...should it be Huseni ? (I am no expert).

Cheers

It is a beautiful song to listen to when you know the lyrics.

Thanks in advance

You can add these tracks to your collection .
Just in case you dont know
Click "Add to my collection " after you hit the first link . And they get transferred to your folder .
After which I can delete mine , since I always have space constraints.
Indeed . It is a such a delightful raga.
Sowmya has sung it as an elaborate RTP too , but I am not posting it on the net since it may be commercial.
Regards.

I keep Current artist's music out of the purview of such internet sharing - out of respect for their sentiments.
TNS - One look at his repertoire of krithis sung over hundreds of concerts gives the correct picture of the personality.
No one , in my books , has gone as far and wide , as he has dared to do.
His ,is an act, that is not likely to be repeated in a 1000 years atleast .

mankuthimma sir,
Thanks for sharing a great collection.
Two other renditions (that are not in your collection, probably because they are commercial) are Doreswami Iyengar's and Manasi Prasad's (in the CD brought out by Ananya).

I need to make a correction on my post #70 above. It was not Huseni I had in my mind when I was thinking of Doreswami Iyengar and Manasi Prasad renditions. It was hamir kalyani.
However, I would love instrumental recordings, any rAga, any day! And, I know you are generous!

Well, as the storage with Mediafire is unlimited ,I could not understand your constraints.

I am trying to unserstand the difference between Huseni, Mukhari and other closely related ragas. A re-upload of Sripada Pinakapani, and S Ramanathan's lec-dems would be of great help.

Almost all links posted here (and at many other places) have become invalid, I don't know why. Is anyone else facing this problem? :?:

That is because most of the file sharing sites delete the uploaded files after some time.

Listen to Rama Ninne Namminanu (Thyagaraja) by T M Krishna. The kalpanasvaras are brilliant.
