sAmi nI tODi tEvE (tv). rAgA: kAmavardhani. Adi tALA.

I don't know if this is by Vinai Kuppier. His mudra is usually gOpAladAsa or vENugOpAla.
This one has rAjagOpAla.

Prof SRJ was disciple of sree PK Rajagopala Iyer. (also a composer) Maybe Ashwin can enquire.

Lakshman · Post by **Lakshman** » 26 Sep 2006, 00:08

P.K.Rajagopala Iyer has composed a varNA sAmi nI tODi tEvE but it is in Anandavalli rAgA.

According to karnatik.com website, there are 2 Adi tALa varNas in kAmavardhini starting with "sAmi ninnE"

sAmi ninnE by Marungapuri Gopalakrishna
sAmi ninnE nammiyunna nA pai by ShaTkAla narasayya.

There is another sAmini tODItEve apparently composed by vINe kuppayyar according to to the same site.

See here
http://www.karnatik.com/varnams.shtml

I have a recording of the second varNa which I will post shortly.

Here I have uploaded sAmi ninnE in kAmavardhini, Adi by ShaTkAla narasayya. It is sung by DKP

(Link Deleted)

The lyrics are

sAmi ninnE nammina nApai
calamEla jEsEvu rA ||P||
bhUmi velayu SEShAcala
dhAma SrI venkaTESvara ||AP||

padari mAku sEya ||

What is the mudre of ShaTkAla narasayya (venkaTESvara?). Please provide some details of this composer.

drshrikaanth · Post by **drshrikaanth** » 26 Sep 2006, 15:39

The same varNa I posted has been rendered by Sudha Raghuathan. It has been posted on sangeethapriya on this page

http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:7S ... =clnk&cd=3

As I was googling for ShaTkAla narasayya, I came across this from sangeetham. There is a curious note there abou pantuvarALi and kAmavardhini. Any thoughts?

DRS, please ensure you haven't uploaded the same Panthuvarali varnam of DKP that was deleted for commercial reasons (from Sangeethapriya)...

drshrikaanth · Post by **drshrikaanth** » 26 Sep 2006, 16:10

oops. Which was it? I dont know details of this one. But if anyone feels this is part of commercial release, i will delete it.

Vocalist · Post by **Vocalist** » 26 Sep 2006, 16:15

Part of music academy archives RPG recording I think...

drshrikaanth · Post by **drshrikaanth** » 26 Sep 2006, 16:19

Just found some details. I dont think this is what you ae referring to. SOme other items in this concert are ittaraNi- asAvEri, jAnakiramaNa- Suddha sImantini, kailAsapatE- kalyANi, vArijamukhi- SankarAbharaNa, etc. Is this the same as the one you are referring to?

Vocalist · Post by **Vocalist** » 26 Sep 2006, 16:23

Yes, that's the one. There is also a Nidham Oru in Kharaharapriya.

drshrikaanth · Post by **drshrikaanth** » 26 Sep 2006, 16:25

DRS, I googled SaTkAla narsayyA. I found this.

From: Ashlesha (@ hdslppp222.spkn.uswest.net) on: Tue Jun 18 06:19:15

I have a question on the composer of the varnam, Sami Ninne Kori in Pantuvarali. Some attribute this composition to Shadkala Narasayya (because he had the ability to render krithis in 6 speeds with superb ease), wherelse others attribute it to the late Sangita Kalanidhi Marungapuri Gopalakrishna Iyer. Would appreciate some feedback on this.

From: Lakshman (@ 64.187.44.168) on: Tue Jun 18 10:24:10

A.S.Panchapakesha Iyer in his Ganamrta Varnamalika credits this varna to Shatkala Narasayya.
