Bharatanatyam dance songs to depict krishna ras leela

[kzivraj]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for suitable audio music to choreograph a fast paced dance depicting Krishna Ras Leela in Bharatanatyam style. Does anyone have any suitable songs in mind?

Really appreciate your help and suggestions!

Many thanks and best wishes

Some shlokas from Krishna-karnamritam like "Anganaam anganaam antare maadhavo" would be suitable.

Or one of the first songs from Gitagovindam (candana-carcita/ hari-riha mughda-vadhU-nikare)

[Shalsie]

There is also a song "gopi gopala bala raasa mandala mahi" from an album called nadopasanaa...

[mohan]

govindam kuzhalosai in desh?

[Unnykrish]

1. nEla MEkha ShArEra
2. bAla sarasa muraLI sudhArasa bhAva madhura laharI vihAra
3. muddugare yeshOdha (Annamayya Krithi)
4. thAye yeshOdha

I have seen only kuchipudi versions for all the above. But i think we can expirement the same in Bharathnatyam too ...

[rshankar]

I can only comment about tAyE yaSOdA - how does this support/show rAs?

[Shalsie]

I am also not very sure ho annamya's muddugare yashodha could lend to rAs.... its more on Krishna as a baby and his description.

Aadinayae Kanna of Sri Ambujam Krishna is also a wonderful song for krishna leela. Same way Muralidhara gopala is also an expressive song for krishna leela.

[chetana]

krishnam kalayasakhi sundaram (narayana teertha tarangam).

There is Svati Tirunal's Aaj aaye Shyam Mohan , if you see the padartha it directly talks about the raasa aspect of krishna and gopi-s . It also has chollu-s which underline the dance aspect for choreography.
