Do any compositions exist?

Thanks Krishna.

Found another kriti by jayachAmaraja oDeyar - ambA shri rAjEshwari

Here is a link to a very nice (non-classical) song in this rAga:

http://www.udbhava.com/usearch/search.s ... s=on&cat=0

The first one is from a live program sung by Ratnamala Prakash (daughter or Sri R K Srikanthan), and IMO much better than the filmi version sung by S Janaki. The instrumental track at the beginning strays to other melodies, but the song confirms to this rAga.

BTW the corresponding hindustani melody is called din-ki-pooriya

I thought this was a raga invented by JC!
Perhaps DRS shoudl comment..

JC did not invent any rAgas. He rather rediscovered rAgas in ancient texts and gave them a life and shape of their own. bhOgavasanta is one of them. The 2 other kRtis that ksrimech has mentioned, JC was before PT, while MArimuttApillai 's song is tuned by later musicians I think.

He may have - the raga 'Amritavarshini',the janya of Jhalavarali.In the AIR announcement,it is mentioned that it is a product of JCW's genius and may be aptly named Navamrutavarshini.I dont have the recording handy with me.
In fact,Jayasamvardhini is his creation too.

Do any of you have the bhOgavasanta kriti of Odeyar that may have been posted earlier? If so, can I request a upload?

Thanks in advance.
