Your most favorite song D

isramesh · Post by **isramesh** » 11 Jul 2009, 09:41

Hai all, it seems the posts in 'C' are stopped yesterday. Feel we should start the 'D' now.

I am giving my list
Deenuda nenu devudavu neevu - Annamayya - Tuned soulfully by Sri Nedunuri; sung movingly by none other than MSS and also Nedunuri. This song equals one more gem of Annamayya - Nanati Bratuku, which is again a Nedunuri and MSS special.

Dudukugala - Panchratna krithi
Daya joochuta kidi velara - Tyagaraja
Dakshinamurthe - MD

sridhar_ranga · Post by **sridhar_ranga** » 11 Jul 2009, 10:23

Test Match: Dachukovalena - Todi - Tyagayya (preferably DKP's version)

One Day: Deve Deva Kalayamite - MMG - Swati Tirunal (preferably by SSI)

T20: Dikku Teriyada Kattil - RM - Bharatiyar

Oops didn't realize that the series is ArunK's idea - may be we should wait for him to declare C closed and start D, isR!

isramesh · Post by **isramesh** » 11 Jul 2009, 11:15

Sorry, I did see wrongly some other series and thought that the series A, B & C have been started by different people. Definitely I should have waited for Mr Arun to start 'D'. It was an oversight.

Cool, thanks for the segue. Arun would rejoice with joy 'Is it possible to be blessed with a service like this?'

... that leads to my entry for this list:

hey

- no problem. It doesnt have to be my decision every time. As soon as activity on the thread is down for a day or two (the threshold seems to be 40 odd posts), anyone can start it.

Mine:

1. dAcukOvalEna (alathur, particularly neraval at saumitri tyAgarAjuni) - tODi - misra jhampa - tyAgarAja

1.5 dakshiNAmUrte (SSI) - love the fit for miSra jhampa - Sankarabharanam - MD - SSI

2. dEvi bRova samayamidE - cintAmaNi - Adi - SSI. Love KVN's but also am mesmerized by MSS just rendering the krithi alone - a superb fit for her golden voice.

Arun

cmlover · Post by **cmlover** » 11 Jul 2009, 19:00

I repeat
Deve Deva Kalayami te - MMG - Rupakam Swati Tirunal ( by SSI)
On the lighter side
Deena karuNAkaranE natarAja - by MKT (composed by P sivan for the movie ThirunIlakaNTar)

bala747 · Post by **bala747** » 11 Jul 2009, 20:23

Can there be any other choice but MDR's rendition of the grand Dorakuna Ituvanti Seva in Bilahari, especially his sublime rendition of the rarely sung "Thumburu Naradulu" charanam in Vilambita kalam?

Santhanams version of this krithi is pretty impressive too. I never liked S Ramanathan's version though, unfortunately.

Apart from that, it would be Sivan's Dayavillaya Dayalo - Kharaharapriya (Santhanam), and of course the beautiful Dudhukugala pancaratnam. I am still looking for an alleged recording of MDR singing that.

dakSiNAmUrtE (anybody's rendition), dorakunA iTuvanti (MDR, Malladis), diwakaratanujam (MDR, SSI). The shankarAbharaNa krithi is definitely my favourite.

Dasaratha... Varnam: Anandha Bairavi

is that the same song everyone refers to as dasarathe?

And something I picked up today: This polish folk song seems to be the inspiration for dil tadap tadap ke keh rahaa hai: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82bBMxNF9AE

cmlover · Post by **cmlover** » 11 Jul 2009, 21:11

This polish song is dated 1986 whereas madhumati dates to early 60's...
Good anachronism

vasanthakokilam · Post by **vasanthakokilam** » 11 Jul 2009, 21:23

CML: It is not an error in chronology. That particular performance is from '86 but from what I gather it is an old polish folk song, often learnt by kids there.

Here is one that sounds even closer ( also its samashti charanam

reminds me of one of MD's nottuswara compositions )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5gEA5ThUyg ( search for 'SzÃƒâ€¦Ã¢â‚¬Å¡a dzieweczka do laseczka' in youtube to see all sorts of versions of this song from polish family gatherings, school functions and roadside gatherings and this bit of a comedic vocal version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEPNSwnaz_8 )

cmlover · Post by **cmlover** » 11 Jul 2009, 22:22

Yes that sounds much closer!

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 12 Jul 2009, 01:55

VKokilam,
Now I know dil taDap is ALSO in SankarAbharaNam. IS it a surprise that the polish song is in SankarAbharaNam? After all, that too is colored by the classical..
If you are not convinced, try singing dil taDap in cOwka kAlam...

vasanthakokilam · Post by **vasanthakokilam** » 12 Jul 2009, 03:10

Well, the second part of that polish song definitely has a lot of resemblance to Sakthi sahitha which we all (loosely) categorize under s'baranam : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOuG1vlMGFo

( from what I read up, it looks like Salil Chowdhury has acknowledged and given credit to that polish folk song as the model for dil taDap )

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 12 Jul 2009, 03:59

LOTS of favorites in this category:

1) dASarathE - tODi - tyAgarAja (Smt. MSS version - I get everything from this - the grandeur of tODi, the abject devotion of the composer etc. etc. etc.)

2) dEvi brOva - cintAmaNi - SS (Smt. MSS version)
3) dEvi mIna nEtri - SankarAbharaNam - SS (TNS' version)
5) dInOvA rAjyahInOvA - Valmiki - rAgamAlika (a passage from the rAmAyaNa - a passionate declaration by sItA that even if rAma where distressed, stripped off his kingdom, etc., she would still be by his side every second. She invokes all the pativratas and their husbands and declares that, like them, she too shall remain ever faithful. Every time I hear this by Smt. MSS, I feel shaken)
4) dikku teriyAda kATTilE - Bharatiyar (I love Sri Santanam's version)
5) deiva tamizh nATTinilE veNNilAvE - a rAgamAlikA composition of Sri Kalki's in praise of Bharatiyar (stirringly sung by Smt. MSS)

On the filmi front, dil lUTnE vAlE jAdUgar (a very poor video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gjc5L2qD ... e=related), darSan dO ghanSyAm nAth mOre ankhiyAn pyAsI rE (dES) - one of the best filmi bhajans I have heard (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UYtyMXwEuo), and a lovely yaman - dil jhukAyA tO sar kO jhukAnA hOgA

Ravi, darsan so ghanashyam in des?
It is one of the most famous and popular compositions of Narsi Mehta og Gujarat which is in kedar. It is also taught to almost every student of hindustani music when they learn the rag kedar. It is known to be gem of kedar.... Anyway, maybe it was retuned...

By the way, which film was it in?

krishnaa · Post by **krishnaa** » 12 Jul 2009, 13:19

I just listened to it on the link you provided Ravi, it is in kedar.
