Jagadanandakaraka-Thillaistanam Version

[RaviSri]

I have given below the Thillaistanam version of the Nata Pancharatnam sung by Smt Ranganayaki Parthasarathi and her disciples. She learnt from Dr Sreenivasaraghavan who was a nephew of Rama Iyengar, direct disciple of Thyagaraja. Herein, both in pallavi and anupallavi they have used the dhaivatam. Also the sequences in the charanam are different. There is an introduction by Smt Ranganayaki at the beginning.

I heard it. Wow. Didn't know that nATa was so prolific in using D3 or that the charanams were at times quite different.

@RaviSri Congratulations on opening your Youtube channel. Keep uploading these rare versions. I will reshare it when I come to the ragas and composers. You owe it to the traditions that you come from that you shouldn't go without sharing them. Maybe in those days they were picky about recording them, but the result of all that is only a loss to CM in the long run. These should not be allowed to go extinct.

Among other things I want to know how vAsudevayani sounded like once upon a time and many others.

The average mobile phone itself does a decent recording job these days, anything recorded even on that is fine for me.

RaviSri,
Thank you. So very soothing to hear this version...

[RaviSri]

I am going to start recording shortly and will upload Veena Dhanammal versions not available in recordings. As also some songs I learnt in the Thillaistanam parampara. Yes, I'll record vAsudEvayani.
