Looking for Dvijavanthi varnam by Dr.S.Ramanathan

[manvantara]

I learnt this varnam - Dvijavanti, Adi thalam, starting "Malarinum melli", several years ago. This is a composition of Dr.S.Ramanathan, taught to me by Smt.Savithri Satyamurthi. I have not been in touch and will not be able to contact her until next year, when I hope to go to Madras.
Meantime, does anyone have swaras and sahitya for this varnam? All I remember is the pallavi.

[Lakshman]

I just have the lyrics. Corrections welcome.

malarinum melli (tv). rAgA: dvijAvanti. Adi tALA.

P: malarinum melli en shen tiruvE mAdhava paraman karpa taruvE
A: nalam taruvAyE en tAyE mAvalar pOTrum parAtpari jayajavanti
C: padadan (?) kurai tIrAi kaN pArAi

[manvantara]

Thanks Lakshman-ji.

Do you know if there is any book published - with Dr.S.Ramanathan's compositions?

[Lakshman]

I don't think there is one.

Dear Mr.Lakshman
Do you have the notation for this varnam. Can you pl. send it to my email adddress [email protected].
Also while I was browsing I saw that the following songs have been composed by Dr.S.Ramanathan. If you can get whatever is available I will be greatful to you.
Already there is a dispute that some of the songs which I am mentioning below are composed by Sri.M.D.Ramanathan. Kindly clarify.
AdiDum arasE. rAgA: suraTi. rUpaka tALA.
angayarkkaNNiyE (tv). rAgA: behAg. Adi tALA. (I think I know this…akkas had sung this)
bhavapriyE bhavAni. rAgA: bhavAni tALa: rUpaka. (I know this…don’t worry)

[Lakshman]

chingan: I am sorry I didn't quite understand your question. Are you asking whether the songs you listed are not by S.Ramanathan? I got the info on these songs from the disciples of SR.
I don't have the notation for the dvijAvanti varNa. I wrote down the lyrics from an audio clip.

[rbharath]

there is also a varNam in rItigauLa which starts as 'neela mayil meedhu' composed by Dr. S Ramanathan. I have heard Smt Sowmya sing it at concerts.

[HarishankarK]

Sr S Ramanathan has also composed in Sivaranjani a krithi Va velava tamizhenai aala (Sowmya has sung it)

[Lakshman]

Here are the two compositions mentioned by cingan. Both are by S.Ramanathan.

AdiDum arasE. rAgA: suraTi. rUpaka tALA.

P: AdiDum arasE naTam paramAnandam tandOm tandOm enr-
A: vADiDum payir tazhaikka varum mazhai pOl aruL surakka
C1: puliyum patanjaliyum uvagai pUNDu koNDADa
kali vempaghai tunbam nOigal kadari vIzhndu pODA
2: nandi maddaLam nayamuDan kUDa nAnmukhan kait-tALam pODa
vandanai sheida marar nAda paravashamuDan dAman pADa



angayarkkaNNiyE (tv). rAgA: behAg. Adi tALA.

P: angayarkkaNNiyE kaN pAr annaiyE aruLuDanE

AdiDum arasE. rAgA: suraTi. rUpaka tALA.

Here is a clip of Dr. Ramanathan's grand-daughter (Ms. Lavanya Raghuraman - I assume she is Smt. Vanathi Raghuraman's daughter) dancing to this composition as a tribute:
