Lyrics of 3 – 4 CM songs in Chala Nattai Ragam

[Sundar Krishnan]

[Dt 20th May, 2010]

I had requested for this info earlier in http://www.rasikas.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13192 - pl refer Pts (B) and (C) in Msg 1 dt 10th May, 2010.

But since Lyrics’ requests are generally raised in this Thread, and also since we are requested to make single Song / single Ragam queries in each posting here, I am posting this request in this Thread too, once again.

B) I would like to know of CM compositions in Chala-Nattai Ragam – Mela 36 [NOT in the janya Ragam Nattai] – along with the Taalam and Composer Info {other than Eadayya Gati : http://www.karnatik.com/c1792.shtml}.

******************

C) Are there any compositions in Chala-Nattai by MD ?
I am already aware of 4 compositions of MD in nATa

******************

PS : On “Search”, we find some apparent mistakes ? : For eg :

- In MIO site, Pavanatmaja (by MSG) is wrongly ?? indicated as in Chala Nattai, whereas MD site says that this song was composed in Nattai. Pl confirm, or comment if there is a (correct) reason to show it under Chala Nattai.

- In some sites, “idi samayamuraa” is wrongly indicated as in Chala Nattai, whereas it is a T composition in Chaya Nattai, janyam of 34 – Vagadeeshwari, for eg, as per : http://www.karnatik.com/c2348.shtml. Here too, pl confirm / comment.

Thanks

C) Are there any compositions in Chala-Nattai by MD ?
I am already aware of 4 compositions of MD in nATa

"mahA gaNapatim manasA smarAmi" IINM was orginally composed in calanATa (w/ the accompanying ciTTasvara). The contemporary nATa version is very popular.

C) I am referring to : http://www.medieval.org/music/world/car ... hitar.html by Todd M. McComb. It states :

36. calanATa - calanATa
paramEshvara jagadIshvara shaHNkarapAhimAM - nATa/Adi
pavanAtmajAgaccha paripUrNa svaccha - nATa/khaNDa cApu
mahAgaNapatiM manasA smarAmi - nATa/caturashra EkaM
svAminAtha paripAlayAshu mAM - nATa/Adi

In http://www.medieval.org/music/world/car ... anasa.html, Todd states that it is abstracted from a very authentic source :
"Abstracted from : Compositions of Muddusvami Dikshitar by Sangeetha Kalanidhi T. K. Govinda Rao, published in Chennai 1997 (No. 367)."

If this song were originally composed in 36-ChalaNattai Mela , I wonder why this is not mentioned by Todd.
I have found Todd's websites to be very informative, and very accurate too.
For eg, in http://www.medieval.org/music/world/car ... hitar.html, he has even clearly stated a section called "Misattributions".
His http://www.medieval.org/music/world/car ... blsup.html and http://www.medieval.org/music/world/car ... ysore.html are also very comprehensive. Indeed very useful contributions by Todd, sites which are so often referred to by so many of us.

***************

So, queries (B), (C) and any comments on PS in Msg #1 - are still OPEN.

***************

But ... I scanned the links of a few songs at random in the above site. In so far as I scanned, I could not see details of ChittaSwarams for any of the song-links I scanned at random ! Have I missed any ?

D) So, could someone pl let me know of the url link(s) where ChittaSwarams for MD's songs are also provided - for those songs of MD's for which Chitta Swarams have been composed / known today.

***************

E) Has Todd created a similar website for Annamacharya's compositions (currently known so far) too ?

Thanks

Thanks Shri Lakshman for the list of Chala Nattai songs.

So, wrt (C) query above, from this list, it appears that MD has not composed any song in Chala Nattai Mela - Yes ??

**************

However, queries (D), (E) in Msg #3, and any comments on PS in Msg #1 - are still OPEN.

Thanks.
