Help for brief write up

Post by laya2 »

Hi

Can somebody help with the a brief write-up of the following:

Keerthanam - Ananda Natamaduvar Thillai

and

Bho Shambho.

I don't want the meaning(nor the composer or the ragam or thalam) but just a brief write up on these two. Would be great if somebody can help me.

thank you.

laya2, I do not really know what you need. See if this is the type of format you are looking for. I am definitely not the right person to write about this but see if this kindles some thought on the format. Since that is my focus, please get the correctness of what I state below verified by someone else who knows this stuff well.

Ananda Natamaduvar Thillai: This is a song in praise of Lord Shiva - the cosmic dancer. This is a favorite song of many bharatanatyam dancers given such a cosmic connection. This song provides a lot of scope for projecting the nritta skills of the dancer in the middle section of the song ('anupallavi').

Bho Shambho: This is in praise of Shiva, the self appeared one who is beyond space and time. This provides infinite scope for expressing the creativity and skill of the dancer in bringing out the rhythm of the dance of creation and destruction and depicting a cosmic dancer who is blissful and wonderous.
