Ashwin is maternal grandson of Vidwan T.K.Rangachari, and is learning from vairamangalam Sri Lakshmi Narayanan for past 15+ years. I went little late, he was singing marubalga...May be there was a varnam or ganesha kriti before
1. marubalga - sriranjani - adi - T
2. venkata ramana - latangi - rupakam - PS (Ragam, N &S at alarmel mangai manala)
3. sevikka vendum ayya - andolika - adi
4. koluvamaregada - todi - adi 2 kalai - thyagaraja (alapana, N &S at tambura jekoni gunamula and tani)
5. chinnam chiru kiliye - ragamalika - bharatiyar
6. slokam / viruttam - kasturi tilakam lalAta - kedara gowlai, kokilapriya , hamir kalyani, surati
7. parvai onre podume - surati
Lathangi and todi alapana was very good, special mention for graha bedam in todi, resulting in kalyani. The sancharams were upto tara panchamam, and upto mandhara madhyamam towards end of alapana. Swarams were sung 2 aksharam (??) before samam eduppu (notation in sivakumar's page suggest 2 aksharam eduppu in 2nd dhrutam - http://www.ecse.rpi.edu/Homepages/shivk ... egada.htm). Hope someone can clarify on the version sung by Ashwin. Tani avarthanam also completed final korvai at same eduppu.
slokam was sung emotively, kokilapriya was very much enjoyable (todi in first half, gowrimanohari in 2nd half).
