Thanks, Meena!

Lakshamanji, any chance of providing notations for the varnam? You could send them to [email protected] ..

Thanks,
Girish

Girish,

The notations are as follows, based on what I have learned from SRJ Mama. Each hyphen indicates the beginning of a new syllable in the sAhityA as given by meena. The mandara and tAra sthAyi notes are denoted by . and *, respectively. I should also say that it would be impossible, in my opinion, to be able to sing this varnam in its intended style and movement without learning it from a teacher like SRJ Mama, but for reference purposes (and considering that the last caraNasvaram is only partly given in books), the following should do:

Pallavi
vanajAkShi ninnE kOri valaci yunnadi
PM-R,-R,-SRGMPMP-RGM-RRS-S,D.D.P. R-S,D.,-P.N.-SR-S,-RG-G,-M

varAnana vadalani mOhamuna

I just realized that I forgot to insert one or two hyphens in the notation, and have corrected it. Also, I believe that the recording Girish is referring to was posted by davalangi, and as hard as I look I cannot trace a copy! Girish, please do upload it if you can find it.

Ashwin

EDIT 2: made some more changes to the caraNasvarAs...didnt realize how I could be so prone to error in producing the svarAs from memory! I am ashamed for it, since SRJ Mama has retained hundreds of such compositions for over 60 years with not a single lapse...

Meena -

Thank you! As it turns out, I seem to have misplaced my copy of this remarkable varnam too. : )

Ashwin-

It is a hard varnam! Maybe I will ask my guruji to learn it from Sri SRJ and THEN teach me. : ) There is a certain sprightliness that, as you say, is very hard to get by learning this from reference notes.
