If you are sure it is a tillAna in kannaDa, i think there is one by vInA shEShaNNa, and one by madurai kRShNan.. both should be available on commercial records..

Oops, I found one in kAnaDa in thisra naDai and thought that is what Sonali asked for. Keerthi, are those two in kannaDa in thisra nadai too?

Vina SEshanna's is in dEshAdi and Madurai Krishnan's is in k/Eka tALA.

Dr. Padma Subrahmanyam also has one but it is not in tisra gati.

Kanada Thillana in the above link from sangeethamshare is not adi-thisra nadai. It's in Rupaka.

Hmm.. May be the Madurai Krishnan kannaDa thillana is what is being requested. Since Tisra Eka and tisra naDai can get mixed up.

ganeshpv, In this case, I was probably biased since I was looking for a tisra nadai thillana and it seemed to fit the bill. It consistently had 4 or 8 beats per cycle of sahitya with each beat having 3 sub-beats. The anupallavi also had that tisra nadi feel. Rupakam ( 6 ) or tisra eka ( 3 ) will definitely work here as well with in those 12 or 24 counts.

How does one unambiguously assign one over the other in these cases, do you know?

Hello,
i believe this thillana is often thought to be in rupakam, but also can in tisra gati chatusra ekam..i think!
I am looking for the Kalakshetra version..it was taught to me by Prof CVC.
Thank you for all your help...

Sonali: Please clarify if you are asking about kAnaDA or kannadA.

Sorry its, kAnaDA, Thom Tre Tani Tani taDhirena....

Lakshman · Post by **Lakshman** » 19 Aug 2009, 02:57

What are the caraNa words?

ganeshpv · Post by **ganeshpv** » 19 Aug 2009, 03:24

Sonali.... Are you talking about THom Tha Thani ThaniTha Dhirena? That is in Kanada and Rupaka tala as well. I believe charaNa goes like:

"Shreekara karunaakara shreekara munijana vanditha
Shree hari duritakara shree raghu ramam palaya"

Sorry.... I am writing this from my memory. So I might have done some mistakes in wordings, in fact I am sure I have done some mistake in words.

Ganesh, you've got it. That one in kAnaDA is performed by Kalakshetra dancers.

A composition of Poochi Srinivasa Iyengar...

Audio can be found here as the last track (may even be the Kalakshetra choreography- not sure):
