After her marriage in MS Subbalakshmi family, she came under the tutelage of the legendary MS Amma. The song was composed by Mrs Ambujam Krishna, wife of Late Shri T.S.Krishna of the House of TVS. She was simplicity personified who had composed some beautiful krithis in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Sanskrit. She was responsible for starting Sadguru Sangeetha Vidyalayam in Madurai and Lakshmi Sundaram Hall for concerts. The same song played in their unique way by Ganesh and Kumaresh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGi0VHyze8s There is a beautiful song by Harikeshanallur Muthiah Bhagavathar in this ragam , played by the one and only Kadri Gopalnath http://www.sangeethamshare.org/kasturi/UPLOADS-0001-0200/008_KadariGopalnath/?p=kasturi/UPLOADS-0001-0200/008_KadariGopalnath In cricket, we have all-rounders. Amongst the musicians, Muthiah Bhagavathar was not only a giant but also an all rounder in the true sense of the term. He was a performing vocalist, Chitra veena and Mrudangam player, composer, Musicaologist and also a Harikatha exponent! He is credited with the maximum number of compositions in the post-Trinity period. He is responsible for creating nearly 20 new ragams and also popularising some of the rare ragams like Karnaranjani, Niroshta, Hamsanandi etc. He was versatile in several languages and was composing in 4 different languages. When some one queried him on Western Classical Music, he composed the famous English Note which was later popularised by his disciple Madurai Mani Iyer! Kadri Gopalnath is also an unusual vidwan in the sense that he had used the Western classical instrument of Saxophone to play carnatic music. Hailing from Mangalore from a family of Nadaswara Vidwans, he had been mentored by the Vocalist/Mrudanga vidwan TV Gopalakrishnan. Generally Ragam Thanam Pallavi is generally handled only in major ragams with scope for improvisations. I have heard this RTP by Nithyashree in Karnaranjani http://www.sangeethamshare.org/murthy/Karnatak/UPLOADS-001-200/004-Member-Requests/?p=murthy/Karnatak/UPLOADS-001-200/004-Member-Requests ( track 160 ) A rare Ashtapathi by Madurai TN Seshagopaln. http://www.sangeethamshare.org/murthy/Karnatak/UPLOADS-001-200/004-Member-Requests/?p=murthy/Karnatak/UPLOADS-001-200/004-Member-Requests A lilting thillana in this ragam by my favourite Lalgudi, played by his son Krishnan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAE1oVojYjo There are a few more songs which for lack of time and space, I am not uploading. There does not appear to be a similar raag in Hindustani Music. This ragam is not used by many film music composers. The exception could be Ilayaraja in this song from the movie Thai Pongal and the singer is Das Anna. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOwfJa0zjpY The next two are also by Ilayaraja and both by SPB http://thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR2631'&lang=en http://thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR1215'&lang=en Kanyakumari and embar https://youtu.be/P1ZkLHkOdnA?list=PLC34pzGgPo5u-IjG70lwer_Qn3oWgby1i K Rajaram IRS 111025 On Fri, 10 Oct 2025 at 20:25, Narayanaswamy Sekar <[email protected]> wrote: > > ---------- Forwarded message --------- > From: N Sekar <[email protected]> > Date: Fri, Oct 10, 2025, 8:25 PM > Subject: Kadri Gopalnath- Vanchathonuna- Karnaranjani- Adi- Muttiah > Bhagavathar- ... > To: Kerala Iyer <[email protected]>, Narayanaswamy Sekar < > [email protected]>, Chittanandam V.
