[kappi]

Hi Murthy Sir fans,
Please see a recent lecture demonstration by Murthy Sir, with his prime disciple Kodunthirapully Parameswaran and Vidwan Trichi Thayumanavan (Disciple of the Great Pudukkottai Dakshinamurthy Pillai), at Palakkad Chembai Music College. There are 13 parts. A few more parts are to be uploaded.
This Lec-dem is a general illustration of the classic Tanjore style of Mridangam, as pioneered by Tanjore Vaidynatha Iyerval.
The main highlights of this rather long Lec-dem (it was held over an entire day in two separate sessions)
1. Murthy Sir's recollection of his Gurukulam with Vaidyanatha Iyerval, his greatness and teaching.
2. Various padakkais of the Tanjore style.
3. Several classic korvais, mohrais of the Tanjore style.
4. Style of accompaniment for songs, pancharatnam etc.
5. Some very interesting anecdotes
6. Rare thalams, korvais and mohrais.
7. Thani in 1 kalai Aadi, with Murthy Sir and Parameswaran Sir on Mridangam and Thayumanavan Sir on konnakol.
8. Thani in Misra chapu.

Hope you all enjoy !
