Song of the Day: A bunch of BGMs from NizhalgaL.
I was watching NizhalgaL again last week, and recorded some of the BGM bits. Very interesting pieces, IR has freaked out in these.

The title piece. Starts off with a melodious piece (students graduating), then a haunting flute bit, and then a freewheeling fast number. Cuts back to children crying "pasikkudhammaa", then a few small pieces showing various slices of life, and ending with chorus shouting "we want job job".
2. http://www.tfmpage.com/cgi-bin/stream.pl?url=http://www.dhool.com/sotd/niz2.rm
A small piece where rohini mistakes nizhalgaL ravi's gestures to the tea shop kid.

Rajasekar draws a picture of a homeless man. No one in his family appreciates it, and he is heartbroken and angry. That is the first part of this piece. Then, rohini picks it up and looks at it. That is the second part, with soft music of a single flute.

Chaaruhaasan plays the veeNai (raagam thOdi). Rajasekar listens to this piece standing on the street.

Ravi falls in love with rohini after their first meeting. Lively humming by IR with a harmonium(chandrasekar in the film). Must have been like this when IR was composing or playing his tunes in his early stages.
I will post some more from the movie tomorrow. Please let me know if you find listening to such pieces interesting.
