Guru Vandanam for Calcutta Sri K S Krishnamurthy (KSK)
Organised by Carnatica at Raga Sudha Hall

Smt Suguna chose to sing compositions she'd learnt from KSK. List of songs:

nA mIda (varNam) - janaranjani - Adi (KSK)
SrI mUlAdhAra cakra - SrI - Adi-2 (MD?)
nI mati callagA - Anandabhairavi - Adi-2 (Kavi Matrubhutayya)
nA manavini vinavayya! - cakravAkam - Adi-2 (Garbhapuri quatrette) - RNS
mahima dakkincukOvayya - riSabhapriya - Adi-1 (T) - R
inta tAmasamayite - sAvEri - cApu (T) - RNST
kaDaik kaN pArvai - khamAs - Adi-1 (PS)
tillAnA - bhImplAs - khaNDacApu (?)
nI nAma rUpamunaku - saurAShTram - Adi (T)
SrIkAnta kalyANa - shlOkam in madhyamAvati

The majestic SrI piece was sung to its full weight, as was the Anandabhairavi. The cakravAkam kriti had a good AlApanai, great neraval and a good round of swarams. I know riShabhapriya ONLY from gananaya dEsika and found the AlApanai a little hard to place. MAK introduced a lot of Parur-style brigha in his riShabhapriya.

The sAvEri was indeed the highlight of the day. It flowed so smoothly, it was like just spending some time with sAvEri. The koraippus ended in an in-between beat. The final korvai was also very different and nice.

Mannarkoil Balaji on the mridangam played with superb anticipation for the kritis and very inspiringly for the manOdharmam parts.

Does anyone have a recording of the janaranjani varNam?

You can ask Carnatica maybe. They will give you the right info. =)

What about the post-main pieces? Nobody mentions about them. They are also carnatic music!

The 'SrI' has to be appended after the first iteration of the pallavi - see http://rasikas.org/forums/viewtopic.php? ... atica.html

Maybe SRJ's disciples can help.

The Janaranjani varnam that Prof.SRJ and disciples sing is a composition of Tiger not KSK.
