Varna in Madhuvanti - Kucheri recording

[ramakriya]

This is not a kutcheri review, but I thought this was the most relevant place to give a link to one of my compositions.

Recently, Madhuri Kaushik, a vocalist from Bengaluru sang one of my compositions - A varNa in raga Madhuvanti, in a concert. I am very glad to share the link for the recording:

The Varna is set in Adi tALa, and the sAhitya is in Kannada language.The ragamudre appears in the charaNa line.

Thank you for sharing Ramakriya , can you please let us know whose composition it is? It will be wonderful if the notation to this varnam is available.

Vidya, it is Ramakriya's composition...

Ramakriya,
Thanks for sharing! A very good one, with the youngster singing it seamlessly--not easy with a new composition, that too a varNa.
I liked it even more because though I was familiar with the rAgA, I hadn't focused on it until Suryaprakash wanted me to include it in a rAgamAlikA of mine that he has sung. I like the rAgA even more now

Thanks Vidya Raja and Arasi, for your kind words.

I can definitely share the notation for the composition - Here is the link. If you have any problem accessing, please let me know.

Good composition. Brings out the raga very well. Thanks.

[rshankar]

Ramakriya - very nice! Can you share how the composition came about? And why madhuvanti?
And did the young singer learn it from you?

Thank you Ramakriya for sharing the notation.
