MSV in the 80s- Part XI

~ brahmachaarigaL ~

Another jewel crafted by the master for an uncaring, forgetful world…

‘azhagia thirumuga dharisanam’ from brahmachaarigaL (1983/ Jubilee Creations)

Sung by SPB
Lyrics by Pulamaipiththan
Music by M.S. Viswanathan

A prelude that holds you captive with the percussion beats setting the breathtaking pace, violins taking over in glorious tandem with the veeNai, a lone flute clasping hands with the veeNai and tabla to usher in the pallavi…interludes that surge with cascading torrents of the mellisai mannar’s creative perceptions…. a scintillating dance song enhanced by the sheer poetry of the pulavar…



And SPB…is well, SPB. Would he let go of such a delectable treat without savoring each note, each nuance? If his pallavi reverberates with pulsating passion of an inflamed lover, he dons the shawl of a dreamy Ghazal singer when he renders the opening charaNam lines. In his weekly show on TV, SPB gives invaluable tips to aspiring singers- he lectures to them on breath control, he exhorts them to sing in their natural voices, he reminds them of the importance of staying in ‘shruthi’, he chides them on pronunciation errors, he points out instances where their expression could have been better, he urges them constantly to enjoy singing and let the enjoyment reflect in the song…

This wonderful song has all these lessons and more…

‘chandiranai paathaal’ from the same movie was put up as SOTD earlier here:
