LIST OF KRITHIS BY THE TRINITY IN HAMSANANDHI RAGAM

[RSR]

I am unable to locate a well-known kritti by Thyagaraja Swami in Hamsanadhi ragam.
A dozen kritis by various composers will help in getting a grip over the ragam. Can you please help?

There is no kriti by the Trinity in hamsAnandi. It is a post Trinity rAgA created by Harikesanallur Muthiah Bhagavatar. The first kriti in this rAgA is his own composition "needu mahima pogaDana taramA"

Thank you. May I have an audio link for the song? Is the opening refrain of 'charaacharam ' Tamil Meera in this ragam? and the opening stanza of 'vadavaraiyai 'by Smt MS ?

[RSR]

Lakshman_ji,
Your exhaustive list will be more useful if you can give a few audio links. because my interest is only on the ragam and not on lyrics.
Best Regards.

Respected Sir,
Thank you very much. The links are of great value.
Your reassuring confirmaion about Smt.MS stanzas also are valuable.
---------
Swathi ThirunaaL kritis are cited in wiki and other refrences. But were they really set to tune by hin? ( or by Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer?).
I will download the audio for Jesudas song.
Thank you very much.

[SrinathK]

Any kriti of any old composer in any postmodern rAgA is obviously a retune. In fact only a certain amount of the Trinity's music even survives with some part of their original tunes. Every other composer from ilangO aDigAL to Oothukadu Venkata Subbier's kritis are all in modernized versions of rAgAs.

About the curious case of @Lakshman sir's monumental lists (he has compiled over 40000 if I remember right, which means he is equal to the entire CM world multiplied by 10) - where in world do you find them? Hardly even 1/10th of it is sung on stage today.

[Lakshman]

SrinathK: The curious case started in the 60s and to date the Index entries are over 60000 including about 8000 Annamacharya songs. There are still 4000 of his songs awaiting addition.

If there was a sangeetha rasikAnidhi award (we can create it), you would get the first honors.

[rshankar]

sangeetha rasikAnidhi award

Somehow like the ring of rasikaSirOmaNi (रसिकशिरोमणि)better!

Second that. All in favour say "Aye"

thumbs up to award nomination !!!

I am a very recent entrant into this forum but before that used to request information about ragams in many of my favourite ragamaalikaas., through web forums. And there was Sri.Lakshman Ragde untiringly giving his version of ragas as best as he could through gmail.
Being just a hobbyist, I cannot benefit by his notations of kritis. but literally at least a thousand would have got instant reply from him.
I did not know that Annamacharya kritis ran into 8000!
Classical music is a vast ocean and our forum has great specialists in various departments. One such being the vast database of composers, kritis and to some extent notations. , ( Sri.Lakshman Ragde), Sri.Varsha-ji for great concert recordings, Sri.CRama for extensive knowledge of kritis over decades and biographical information of contemporary artistes, , , SrinathK for his hunting for authentic versions of kritis of even the Trinity...Savithri Madam ( a5b5) for transliteration and translation of many telugu and kannada kritis, Sri.RSachi for sanskrit and dasa sAhithyams and so on.
Sri.V.Govindans labour of love and devotion Thyagaraja Vaibavam and a companion site on Dikshitar kritis.
Persoinally I have gained from their inputs and the spirit of sharing.
and created websites for vintage songs by Smt.MSS, Smt.DKP and NCV

[RSR]

Here is an interview by Sri.Lakshman Ragde in the Hindu, many years back.
In the service of Carnatic music
https://www.thehindu.com/features/frida ... 372208.ece

I look forward to trips to India so that I can collect any out of print/ unpublished compilations of songs and lyrics directly from composers or left with their disciples. I will also have to decide soon about what to do with this collection for future generations. I also regularly supply lyrics to sites like karnatik.com, rasikas.org, narthaki.com, indianheritage.com, edieval.org and so on. I have produced two CDs as well; an Index with the 33,400 entries of statistical information and a CD of lyrics with over 6,000 songs.
Above all, I derive personal satisfaction in helping others in their musical endeavours with my meagre contributions.

iLango AdikaL lived lived in 100 AD! and he is justly famous for his Silappathikaram -an unsurpassed gem of tamil literature (poetry). Though he is said to be very learned in ancient Tamil music traditions, he was not a music composer,
