Nata Kuranji/ Nattai Kurinji

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 09 Oct 2006, 06:50

I had asked for Ambujam Krishna's song 'nADith thavikkudaDI'. It occurs to me that it is a rAgamAlikA starting with nATak kurinji followed by Ananda bhairavi and mOhanam...

prashant · Post by **prashant** » 09 Oct 2006, 10:07

Over the weekend, I was browsing through 'Pallavi Swara Kalpavalli' listing Vinai Kuppayyar's songs, and there is an awesome nATakurinji aTa tALa varNa in it! Interestingly, all the swara passages appended to the CaraNA end in 'SGGM' - the varNa has several incidences of this prayOga also. Beautiful piece.

Perhaps to make the discussion on the masterpiece RTP complete, the meaning of the pallavi should be posted too

Vocalist · Post by **Vocalist** » 09 Oct 2006, 12:42

arasi, I'm not sure about that item as I haven't heard it yet. I do know of one "Thedi Thavikkudadi, En Ullam"...but that's a one rAgA piece in another rAgam, and not sure if its Ambujam Krishna's.

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 09 Oct 2006, 20:32

Vocalist,
I do not think it is hers. In the one I have mentioned, the anu pallavi goes like this: vADIth thaviththu mazhai mugam pArkkum sAdakam pOl endan mAdavanai ninaindu (nADith thavikkudaDI en uLLam).

Lakshman · Post by **Lakshman** » 09 Oct 2006, 20:43

Here is the Ambujam Krishna song.

nADi-tavikkudaDi. rAgamAlikA. Adi tALA.

(rAgA: nATakuranji)
P: nADit-tavikkudaDi en uLLam nAdit-tavikkudaDi
A: vAdit-tuDittu mazhaimukham pArkkum sAtakam pOl enran mAdhavanai ninaindu
Anandabhairavi
C1: innamudam pozhi kuzhalUdi kanniyen manam koLLai koNDAn
(rAgA: mOhana)
2: kUDik-kaLittup-pin konjamum dayavinri mODi sheidEgiya mukundanai ninaindu

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 09 Oct 2006, 21:56

Thank you Lakshman.

In the mOhana verse--though there is barely a difference: mODi seydEgina instead of Egiya. Of course, alliteratively it fits in too. The book has it that way as well...

"ninaippOm maNimozhivazhi naDappOm, mahAtmA gAndhiyai"

misra tripuTa [tisra gati]

Thanks prashant. I tried to figure it out myself but could not get it done. The tisra gathi is what tripped me up. With this info, I will try to keep the beat and see for myself if I can comfortably do it. Thanks.

Is GNB's complete Natakurinji RTP available for download somewhere?

You are right. TNS has cut a commercial CD with an exclusive Nattaikurinji RTP. Simply superb.

The kriti I have learned is by SRInivAsulu, and begins with the sAhitya, "ninnumincina varEvvaramma nikhilalOka janani nIvE ambA." I have never heard of a commercial recording of this kriti, and would be very interested to hear one (I have heard one or two recordings of MDR singing nIdu mUrtini). I will try to make a recording soon.

Since this post is a few months old you've possibly found this already, but if not, here is an online rendition of ninnumincina by musiri with ragam&swaram: http://www.sangeethapriya.org/Downloads ... usiri.html

Could you please upload rendition of ninnumincina by musiri with ragam&swaram . I cannot get the above websites.

Please view and listen to one of my creations in Natakrinji, sung so beautifully by Smt.Raji.Refwww.karnatik.com

grsastrigal · Post by **grsastrigal** » 07 Jun 2007, 16:08

This Ragam has not been discussed before. (Correct me if Iam wrong). I heard one song from the film Sivakavi by MKT .. The song is

"Kavalyai Theerpadhu Nattiya Kalaye" (Nrithya Kala will wipe out your sorrows)." wherein he ends the song with "Ragaththil siRandhadhu NattakuRinji" (Nattakurinji is the best among the Ragas).

Why did he mention this ? what is so special in this Raga or is it because that song was in that Raaga, so that- this raga was praised.

While listening to GNB's RTP in NK, I feel this is the best raga (and rendition too)...

This rAga has been discussed.

Hi I did hear a live concert of SSI accompanied by LGJ and he sang a brilliant Nattaikuranji RTP .. Subramanyan Namaste namaste I had a recording of that concert but have lost the same. The accompaniment of Lalgudi adds majesticity to the RTP.It is one of the best RTP in that raga that I have heard... BFN Raghavan

arunk: Nice writeup on nATTakuranji. You probably know there is a very famous pallavi, "nATTai kurinji enbar, ciRanda engaLadu.." in this rAga.

After i posted my last post ,did discover a very good explanation from prashant. Tx.Can you let me know who are the singers whom you heard singing mAyamma in nAttaikurinji, just for my curiosity,if you recollect?

LGJ's song is Kandhan seyal andro (ellaam..)

Maharajapuram Santhanam has sung mAyamma in one of the commercial cassettes.

Arun, I just happened to catch this blog. Nicely done. This type of in-place swara prayoga samples works very well to define the key raga characteristic. Pretty much what I had in mind when we were indulging in the swara identification Q&A in the sangeetha kalalaya section a while back. I think you were going to do something like this for Abhogi ( and contrast it with sri ranjani ). Thanks.

Needumurthy niganukoni is a rare kriti by Patnam Subrahmanya Iyer with a chittaswaram.There is the VENKATESA mudra in the anupallavi.So should be PSI kriti.

Sreeni Rajarao · Post by **Sreeni Rajarao** » 02 May 2009, 22:49

Catching up late on this thread!

Prashant's query on post # 7: Is there a tillAna in nAta kuranji.

I see Lakshmanji has posted one in post #8.

I have with me a tillAna composed by my Father Veena Raja Rao.

I am working (with a karnAtaka based artiste) on including this in an audio CD that will be released in July 09.

Presenting a tillAna in nAtakuranji. There are not many tillAna-s available in this rAga

Composer: Veena Rajarao

Performed by: Nagamani Srinath and Nandini Rao (2009)

Prashant,

Better late than never! You asked in 2006, I said yes in 2009 and I am sharing now in 2016

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 23 Sep 2015, 04:25

Sreeni,
Thanks for your father's lovely composition, Nagamani S singing it. Has he composed more tillAnAs? Anoor's playing very good too. Wonder if your daughter has danced to any of them...

Prashant had to wait, but not until 2016. We are still in 2015

Sreeni Rajarao · Post by **Sreeni Rajarao** » 28 Sep 2015, 06:51

Arasi avare,

Thanks for your note! I was in a rush and rushed to 2016 when I posted that tillAna in nAtakuranji!

My father has composed 3 tillAnas. Besides the nAtakuranji tillAna above, he has composed one in kamAch and one in kalyANi.

I have uploaded the kamAch tillAna under Raga and Alapana section today (opened a thread for kamAch)
http://www.rasikas.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=26110

I need to work on bringing out a recording of the kalyANi tillAna in the near future!

My daughter has not danced to any of my Father's tillAnas, yet. However, She has danced to other compositions of my Father in ABhogi, hindoLa, nATa and saraswati.

(Sorry about the digression from nAtakuranji in this thread!)

Posting this in this thread as well so that it's indexed in the correct thread for the rAga

I am sharing here a recording that I have found to be unique, in the sense that I have not heard any other artiste performing this tAna varNa.

I urged my sister Smt Veena Kinhal to perform this varNa again in a concert, after a long gap (of 41 years, if I am right!)
