Excellent rendition Sriram!

Could I suggest few corrections in the sAhitya, to make it even better :-)

in anupallavi - it should be salahenna tAye, not salahanna tAye;
kalA instead of kaLA; ( In kannaDa, it is a sama-samskrita pada, and tadbhava is not used)


in charaNa - it should be kalyANi, not kaLyANi ;

BTW, do you know whose composition it is? I hope to learn this one day thanks to your recording.

It is not for nothing that padmacharaN was referred to as kalyANi padmacharaN!

Hello everyone,

This is sridevi.. I follow rasikas.org regularly but am a silent spectator except for an occassional post here and there.
I am learning music and realised I could use your input to further improve. As I was reading this thread I fell in love with the krithi - shringapuradheeshwari and here is my shot at it.
http://www.rogepost.com/dn/fdnh

Hope that some of you can listen to it and let me know what you think. I am aware of a few glitches here and there. However I know that if I wait to make it without any glitches it might never happen. After all, perfection is a journey not a destination.

Best regards
Sridevi Iyengar

Bravo Sridevi!
Just thrilled to listen to a bhAva-soaked rendering. The pronunciation of the sahitya is just excellent. You should entertain us with more such renderings at this Forum. Please team up with MNS who is the other enthusiastic exponent!
God bless you both!
(of course I am including mahesh also as part of the team!)

Thank you both. I will definitely upload more krithis. I plan to sing a few lesser heard dasa krithis and upload it. I will post a message in the dasa thread when it is done. I would love to learn Sri.DRS' compositions. I was not able to download from the links mentioned in the other thread.

Sridevi,

Welcome to another bay-areaite (or should it be bay-arean ;-)? Not so sure!).

Your Kalyani has come very nicely.

BTW I have a few of DRS's kritis downloaded, and I can upload them for you, send me an e-mail. Couple of them are in my learning list for a while - May be I should sing and post rather than waiting for perfection. Particularly the ranjani varna has been a tough nut to crack!

Thank you very much, Shrikaanth avare.. It does mean a lot when it comes from learned and accomplished people like yourself. I am glad I shed my inhibitions and posted the song. I would appreciate any input you have to help me improve and get better.

Coolkarni , Sriram..

Incidentally ,This is one of the songs I have learnt and was thinking of posting it. But now I will listen to Sri.Shankar's rendition and see if it is different. However I learnt it in Khanda Eka tala in Ranjani.

BTW DRS or anyone , have you heard of a composer/ poet - Vasanthi Chandra? I happen to know one krithi (in Kalyani - Baa Baara Bhuvaneshwari) and I have noted that Vasanthi chandra is the poet (composer??.. not sure) . I also know one song in dharmavathi - Adishakthi namo devi veda maathaye... but dont know who the vaggeyakara is. Both these are semi classical kannada krithis which are very well tuned. May be I will post the songs during this long weekend.

Sriram, let me look into my book ( at home) and fill in the blanks for the song.

Can anyone who listened to this composition (SaraNu SaradE) please confirm if it is in rUpaka tALa, as the announcement says? I am unable to use the rUpaka tALa for this. Sorry for this question but my tALa knowledge is very poor.

I think Sri.Shankar is also singing in khanda eka tala.. starts after one aksharam.

If I keep the beat to khanda chapu, it seems more natural to me. The mridangamist seems to be playing to khanda chapu as well. Please correct me if I am wrong. With khanda eka, I have to keep the thala at double the normal speed to have Shankar's repetitions of sathitya fall on the same beat.

I think you are right. It does fall into place rather nicely with khanda chapu. Just that I have been singing khanda eka all this time.
In khanda eka the line "sharaNU sharade vaani" takes one avarthanam while in khandachapu it takes two.

Here is my shot at it.. with khanda eka.. Now that vasanthakokilam mentions it I will try khandachapu and see if it is more comfortable.

sridevi, very good job singing Ranjani. Congratulations.

With respect to the thala, in the one attempt I tried, your rendition is in accordance with Khanda Eka all the way through. It also feels comfortable with Khanda Chapu.

In Shankar's rendition, see if you also see it the following way. When he repeats 'surasakala kIravANi' ( around 1:22, 1:28, etc. ) with normal speed khanda eka ( meaning "sharaNU sharade vaani" takes one avarthanam), 'surasakala' falls in a different place the second time around. With Khanda Chapu, it falls at the same place as the first time. Of course, if I keep khanda eka at double the speed (meaning "sharaNU sharade vaani" takes two avarthanams), then the 'surasakala kIravANi' resolves properly. All this from a purely counting point of view. But if one considers where the stresses fall and words break, it is more natural with khanda chapu rather than double speed khanda eka.

sridevi,

sharaNu shArade has come out very well.

I think both khanda Eka and khanda chApu suit it correctly Laya experts can comment on this - Isn't khanda chApu a short form of khanda Eka (or mishra jhampe?)

I have seem many devaranAmas that are listed as jampe sung in khanda chApu.

Hi,

I saw this thread and wanted to request the lyrics for the following songs.

Vani Brahmani- Kalyani- HH Chandrashekara Bharathi Swamigal.
Sharadambha Sharadindu- Bhairavi- HH Chandrashekara Bharathi Swamigal.
Shri Sharadambha- Kamas- HH. Bharathi Teertha Swamigal.
Shri Shankaracharyam- Mohanam-HH. Bharathi Teertha Swamigal.

If any would have the notations, that would be the icing on the cake sorry Laddo.

Has anybody notated RK Shriramkumar's notation of Sharada Bhujangam?

Dear members,

This thread is very welcome.

Since the discussion is on Sarada bhujanga stotram, would like to point out that in Sangeethapriya.org carnatic music website, there is a beautiful rendition of this complete stothra in ragamalika by Shri Vijay Siva.
Shri Vijay Siva has melodiously tuned and sung the verses with raga mudra wherever possible e.g. Verse three is sung in Shri ragam (Yashashrikapolaam), verse 4 in Kiravani (ramathkiravanim), Verse 5 in Sama (Sadasamaroopaam) except for the verses 1 in Nalinakanti and 2 in Nattaikurunji and the last being in Charukeshi.
But it is a beautiful shloka and also sung in a gaiety tempo by Shri Vijay Siva.
