I have contributed some dance pieces by K.N.Dandayudapani Pillai to the Narthaki site. Some of these are available here:

Lji,
Thanks for posting the link. I looked at the list and was very impressed with KNDP's compositions. I was actually amazed by the composition on Jesus...Do you know when it was composed and the circumstances it was compsed in? I ask because, in the 1980's when my friend Miss Saldana wanted to learn a 'Christian piece' it was not very easy to find someone to choreograph it for her. Nowadays, with Fr. Dr. Barboza and his student Raul D'Souza and others in India, and Smt. Rani David in Maryland, the demand for, and the practice of a chiristian mArgam is getting more popular, but back then it was a VERY RARE exception, rather than the rule.

I have no information on when or under what circumstances these songs were composed.

Meena/Lakshman:
Here I am. The URL for KND Pillai lists "pARkaDal alaimElE.." as a composition of KND. I seriously doubt it. It was written by Udumalai Narayana Kavi for a movie in which MLV sings it. Any thoughts?

It is a composition of C. R. Subburama Iyer according to my records.

Lakshman,
Thanks for the wonderful contribution. Are the notations for these songs available anywhere?

Lakshman · Post by **Lakshman** » 29 Jan 2007, 21:07

I don't have the notations for pArkkaDal alaimElE but for the others I can locate the notations.

Which notations are you going to wait for? I can probably provide them for specific songs.
