Sriranjani Santhanagopalan, K. Gayathri both gave good recitals for Sivarathri Akhandam @ Arkay and quite a good number of tamizh compositions. Palghat Ramprasad gave another good one. Vidya Kalyanaraman was bit out of form, but later I think during tamizh new year recital she was in good form going by the few initial renditions - me yet to cover the full concert.

Tis thread is about CM songs ( mostly non-film) in tamilzh and Dr.Pasupathy has shared a fine write up by KALKI on a concert by Madurai Mani Iyer in chennai in Thamizh isai changam. The concert was very special in that all the songs were in thamizh from start to finish.
Many of them were by PAPANASAM sIVAN.
It is in tamizh.

KALKI was as we all know, a firm believer in singing classical music in tamizh . in this review, he points out why it is better.

tamizh songs alright , tamizh music or tamizh isai alright, it would be better to find out who are these "Tamizh rasikas" in the first place? How many sub categories of them are there? What is each of their heritage actually and how have they received it today and how are they carrying it today, understanding it today and seeing it today. etc.?

People who categorize based on power structures , behavioral sciences , and anthropology especially owe us an answer. Like Telugu was the language of composition, because it was a court language! Was Marathi ever a court language - briefly? But was almost forgotten except in one tukkaDA in a bhajan sequence. Guess what - what is more popular now?

Kalki is the smart one saying the obvious yeah? He forgot about what the songs convey though! Especially after he waxed eloquent on mother tongue and intelligibility!

I’ve been wondering why Sanjay’s all-tamil concert has not been mentioned in this thread. And I’m intrigued that no one has written in with news of his latest announcement:

Happy to announce our sequel to the blockbuster Thamizh classical concert on this World Music Day. Catch me live on December 7 & 8, 2019 at the Music Academy, Chennai

Seems a new treasure un-earthed although it may not be new to insiders.

This particular one provides immense opportunities to bring out the rAgA and emphasize it with the music of the language as it connects back at the end of the tAlA cycle with an atItam, like many a SrI tyAgarAja kritis.

Yes, I saw that. I was specifically mentioning his all-Tamil concert, and I was surprised that since this “sequel” is relatively fresh news, it hasn’t received any mention on Rasikas (afaik), especially à propos of this topic. I was not finding fault.

happy to share an article in this thread,

an article by GOWRI RAMNARAYAN

M.S. Subbulakshmi supported Tamil Isai right from the start.

MOODS: M.S. Subbulakshmi captured the electrifying power of Tamil Isai.

``We want more Tamil songs in Carnatic music kutcheris," the protesters announced. Their opponents retorted that Telugu and Sanskrit alone were concert worthy. The Tamil Isai movement in the 1930s and 1940s is a fascinating part of Carnatic music history. Two groups fired salvos in print and on podia. Their metaphors were of Stalin and Hitler from the World War. Both factions agreed that bhava was the soul of music. The pro-Tamil group believed that this could be realised only when the sahitya was in its mother tongue. Tamil kritis were best for Tamil audiences. Faction two insisted that the highest bhava was inherent in the sahitya of the Trinity. Tamil was good just for tailpieces.

M.S. Subbulakshmi supported Tamil Isai right from the start. This strengthened the movement and prevented it from collapsing prematurely. After all, talking about Tamil Isai could make no impact without someone to exemplify its depth, beauty, and emotional power. Who could do it better than M.S.?

But where were the kritis to match those of Tyagaraja or Syama Shastri? Young Subbulakshmi too did not have a repertoire to satisfy the Tamil demands.

Husband Sadasivam decided that Suddhanana Bharati, his associate from the freedom fighting camp, was a good source. His "Arul Purivai" (Hamsadhwani) was as good a launch pad as "Vinayaka Ninnu." His "Jhankara Sruti" (Poorvikalyani) about the cosmic sound could be developed into a major piece. Gopalakrishna Bharati's "Sabhapatikku" had a reformist slant according with his Gandhian ideals.

Papanasam Sivan was close to the family from the time he scored music for Subbulakshmi's first film ``Seva Sadanam," from which "Ma Ramanan" (Hindolam) has survived to this day.

M.S. had great admiration for his simplicity and musicianship. How fortunate one should be to learn compositions from the composer himself, she would say.

Veteran Musiri Subramania Iyer taught her his signature song "Tiruvadi Charanam." Without changing the pathantara, M.S made it her own. The Bharatanatyam performances of Anandhi and Radha, daughters of Kalki and Sadasivam, catalysed the search for more Tamil compositions. The girls had full houses for every show. Why not? M.S. sang for them. That is how "Yaro Ivar Yaro" and "En Palli Kondeerayya" became part of the M.S. repertoire.

Kalki's 1944 vignette describes the ambience at Subbulakshmi's Tamil Isai concert in the December season:

"Kalaitookki" (Yadukulakambodi) in madhyama sruti overwhelmed everyone in the tides of rapture... After the ragam, tanam, pallavi in Karaharapriya came songs on Kannan, Murugan and the charkha. Finally, as she sang Bharatiyar's `Yaamarinda Mozhigalile' (of all the languages we know) in a moving ragamalika, and began `Sentamizh Nadennum' in the high sthayi, the exhilaration of the audience, keeping the beat with their hands, made an unforgettable sight."

Sadasivam worshipped Subramania Bharati. M.S. was fond of recalling how her husband "made me get up and walk out midway through a recital for the then Corporation Radio because the British Raj banned a Bharati song."

Bharati came into Bharatanatyam for the first time when Anandhi and Radha performed "Aduvome Pallu Paduvome." This always received standing ovation, not at the end, but right from the start.

In those days, Subbulakshmi's Tamil songs aroused anticipation also because her face broke into little bits of abhinaya, as in "Adu Raatte" or "Toondirpuzhuvinaipol." Her full-fledged abhinaya for Kalki's "Malai Pozhudinile" became a photo spread in print, a novelty in those times.

The film ``Meera" not only made her a national icon, Kalki's "Katrinile Varum Geetham" became part of M.S. mystique ever after. And can anyone think of M.S. Subbulakshmi without "Kurai Onrum Illai?"

And yet the electrifying power of Tamil Isai in Subbulakshmi's peerless voice was best felt on Saraswati Puja when M.S., haloed by fresh-washed curls, her big pottu aglow, participated in the worship of the huge, unwieldy machines in the press which printed the nationalist weekly Kalki, edited by Kalki Krishnamurti and Sadasivam.

As the smells of printing ink and glue mingled with incense and camphor, M.S. would lose herself in Bharati's "Nenjukku Neediyum," begging the goddess of learning to release the floods of creativity.

As the last high notes rang in the dark hall, a blaze of light suffused the hearts of workers, visitors and family members. The song and the singer became one, indivisible, radiant.

---- To quote from the blurb
"Arunachala Kavi (அருணாசல கவி) (1711 - 1779) was a Tamil poet and a composer of Carnatic music. He was born in Tillaiyadi in Thanjavur District in Tamil Nadu. The three Tamil composers Arunachala Kavi, Muthu Thandavar and Marimutthu Pillai are considered the Tamil Trinity, who contributed to the evolution of Carnatic music. Arunachala Kavi was fluent in Tamil, Telugu and Sanskrit. He wrote Rama Natakam, a musical drama based on the Ramayana. The music for this musical was composed by two of Arunachala Kavi's disciples, Kothandarama Iyer and Venkatarama Iyer. The songs contain many Tamil proverbs and sayings. This musical drama was first performed at the Srirangam temple and within a short time it became very popular. Kavirayar was honoured by Maharaja Tulaja, the King of Tanjavur, and by several other patrons of that time. He also composed Seergazhi Sthala Puranam (sirkali), Seergazhi Kovai, Hanumar Pillai Tamil, Ajomukhi Natakam and a few Keertanas. Some of his famous compositions still popular today are Yaro ivar yaro (Bhairavi), Kanden Kanden Sitayai (Vasanta), Ramanai Kannara Kandane (Mohanam).

MKThyagaraja Bagavathar , as we may know, had a regular training in Carnatic music by Alathur brothers. and his ambition was to give a standard concert in CM. Some of his 78 rpm records , not from films, are really nice and were heard much in radio , in those days. (pre-1950) Raju Asokan's upload of one such MKT song ( Barathy's poem) 'ParukkuLLe Nalla Naadu' ( usually sung in jonpuri) may be of interest.

Maha Vaidyanatha Sivan and his elder brother Ramaswami Sivan were very great and famous composers and singers, Patnam Subramanya Iyer was a contemporary of Maha Vaidyanatha Sivan. The brothers were also contemporary of the great Tamil Scholar U.V.Swaminatha Iyer.
Vaidyanatha Sivan composed mainly in Telugu and Sanskrit while Ramaswami Sivan, his brother, composed many songs in Tamil.
--------------------------------
We will see some songs of Ramaswami Sivan rendered by DKPttammaL in subsequent posts. As Patnam Subramanya Iyer and Maha Vaidyanatha Sivan and Ramaswami Sivan were contemporaries, and in direct line of disciples of Thyagaraja Swami (second line), we can get good Tamil kritis of Ramaswami Sivan rendered by the greats of previous era.

MS Subbulakshmi-The Poorvikalyani song is Ekkalathilum unai maravadirukka kripai seivay. The composer of the Poorvikalyani kriti is Tiruvarur Ramaswami Pillai.-Purvikalyani-Rupaka-
( this song is in poorvi kalyaNi, BUT the lyrics MAY NOT be of Ramaswami Sivan. ( misattribution?)

The song in the link is in poorvikalyani. But the lyrics given are of another song- that is in Natakurinji. Both are different songs. The Poorvikalyani song is Ekkalathilum unai maravadirukka kripai seivay. The composer of the Poorvikalyani kriti is Tiruvarur Ramaswami Pillai. The composer of the Natakurinji kriti is Ramaswami Sivan.

சக்ரவர்த்தி ராஜகோபாலாச்சாரியால் எழுதப்பட்ட ஒரே ஒரு பாடல் இதுவாகும். தமிழறிஞர் மீ.ப. சோமசுந்தரம் ( மீ.ப.சோமு) அவர்களின் உதவியுடன் இயற்றப்பட்ட இந்தப் பாடல் 1967-இல் ‘கல்கி’ பத்திரிகையில் வெளிவந்தது. இந்தப் பாடலுக்கு இசை வடிவம் தந்தவர் கடையநல்லூர் வெங்கட்ராமன் ஆவார்.

This is MLV recording of Thiruppavai which was released in LP record.

TNS has rendered concerts of Tiruppavai songs exclusively. I attended one such concert accompanied by Doyen UKS.

A classic by Subramanya Barathy- rendered superlatively by Smt.MS had been part of a commercial release by Saregama and hence could not be shared in public.
The glad news is that SAREGAMA have donated the entire LP to Youtube and thus it is in public domain now.

Karthikeya Gangeya , Kadai Kann

"Ariyakkudi’s magic formula had something for everyone. It began with a brisk varnam that served as a nice vocal warm up, followed by an invocation to Lord Ganesha. Songs of various composers across centuries, eulogizing different gods and goddesses, and in varied languages were sung with or without improvisatory solfa syllables, or kalpana swarams. The musician then landed into the hallowed ‘main piece’ that had an elaborate alapana, or sketch, of the raga, followed by the violinist’s impression of the same, the composition, improvisatory techniques such as the neraval and kalpana swarams, and ended with a rhythmic duel of the percussionists known as the Tani-avartanam. This was then followed by smaller songs called tukkadas that included bhajans, familiar songs and finally ended with a brisk thillana. The Academy ratified this new structure after much debate and discussion.

We see the same sense of proportion in his 78 RPM recordings as well, where Ariyakkudi divides the time between the composition and the improvisatory aspects – choosing either an alapana or fast kalpana swarams. This is illustrated in his following renditions: the famous Tamil composition by Papanasam Sivan in Raga Thodi — ‘Kartikeya Gangeya Gowri Thanaya’; in ‘Kadai Kann’ in the same raga (where he chooses kalpana swarams over alapanas)

Navasiddhi petraalum
( lifted from sujamusic blog), ( duration -less than 6 minutes)
Can the veteran rasikas testify if this is from 78 rpm era?
=========================================
நவசித்தி பெற்றாலும் சிவ பக்தி இல்லாத நரர்கள் வெறும் சாவி (சம்போ)
எவர் புத்தியும் தள்ளி சுயபுத்தியும் இல்லாது இருப்பவர் பெரும் பாவி

நாதன் அருள் மறந்து போதம் இல்லாக் கூத்து நடிப்பவர் வெறும் சாவி (ஜகன்/தில்லை)
சீதமதி அணியும் சிவனை நினையாமல் இருப்பவர் பெரும் பாவி

தாய் தந்தை மனம் நோக செய்கின்ற குரு துரோகத் தனைவர்கள்(*) வெறும் சாவி
நாய் போல எவரையும் சீறி சண்டைபோடவே (alt: சண்டையிடும்) நலம் கெட்டார் (இல்லார்) பெரும் பாவி

பாபமும் புண்ணியமும் கணியாமல் பணத்திற்கே பறப்பவர் வெறும் சாவி
கோபமும் லோபமும் கொண்டு நல்ல குணத்தை குலைப்பவர் (தொலைப்பவர் ) பெரும் பாவி

கேட்டும் கண்டும் அனுபவித்தும் உண்மை உணரா கர்விகள் வெறும் சாவி
வாட்டமில்லாத கதி கொடுக்கும் நீலகண்டனின் அன்பில்லார் (அருள் இல்லார்) பெரும் பாவி (என்றும்)

(*) It sounded to me like தலைவர்கள் but the alternate தனைவர்கள் seemed more fitting. I do not know if this is correct.

Translation

Even if they have achieved (peTRAlum) the nine (nava) extraordinary powers of the soul (siddhi), men (narargaL) without (illAda) devotion (bhakti) towards Lord Shiva are mere (veRum) chaff (sAvi) . Those who reject (taLLi) the wisdom (buddhi, literally intellect) of others (evar) and are (iruppavar) without (illAdu) wisdom (buddhi) of their own (suya) are great (perum) sinners (pAvi).

Those who, forgetting (maRandu) the grace (aRul) of the Lord (nAdan), foolishly frolic (kUttu naDippavar, literally play act) even without (illa) intoxication (bOdam) are mere (veRum) chaff (sAvi). Those who exist (iruppavar) without thinking (ninaiyAmal) of Lord Shiva who wears (aNiyum) the cool moon (sitamadi) are great (perum) sinners (pAvi).

Those sons (tanaivargaL) who cause distress (manam nOga) to their parents (tAy tandai-mother, father), committing the sin of harm to one’s teachers (guru drOgam), are mere (verum) chaff (sAvi). (Note-Parents are our first teachers) Those without (keTTAr) goodness (nalam), who like (pOla) dogs (nAy), hiss at (shIri) and fight (sanDaipODa) are great (perum) sinners (pAvi).

Those who, without counting (gaNiyamal) sins (pApamum) and merits (puNNiyamum), avidly pursue (paRappavar) only money (paNattiRkE) are mere (veRum) sAvi (chaff). Those who, due to (kONDu, literally having) anger (kObam) and greed (lObham) destroy (kulaippavar) their own (implied) good (nalla) character (guNam) are great (perum) sinners (pAvi).

Those egoists (garvigaL) who, despite having heard (kETTum), seen (kaNDum) and experienced (anubhavittum), do not realise (uNarA) the truth (uNmai) are mere (veRum) chaff (sAvi). Those without the grace (aRuL illAr) of the Lord Shiva (nIla kaNTan, literally the one with the blue throat) who gives the everlasting (vATTam illAda, literally unfading) state (gadi) (ie. Moksha).

NOTE : This is a note based on a comment by Mr.Lakshman Ragde, who is incomparable in his knowledge of Carnatic Music lyrics. He wrote

‘In the song navasiddhi peTrAlum, there are additional caraNAs. Here are the lyrics as found in the printed text book of N.Shivan’s compositions, edited by Saraswathi Ram’ .

navasiddhi peTrAlum. rAgA: kharaharapriyA. cApu tALA.

Respected Sir, Welcome to this thread.
I request you to remove the tamil -reverse transliteration.
as it is not what the tamizh lyricist would have written.
No offense meant.
----------------------------

காணக் கண் கோடி வேண்டும்
கபாலியின் பவனி
காணக் கண் கோடி வேண்டும்

மாணிக்கம் ,வைரம் முதல்
நவரத்ன ஆபரணமும்
மணமார் பற்பல மாலைகளும் முகமும்
மடியோடு தாராகணம் நிறையும் அண்டி

வானமோ ,கமல வனமோ என மனம் மயங்க
அகளங்க அங்கம் யாவும் இளங்க
அபங்க அருள் மழை பொழி பவனி
காணக் கண் கோடி வேண்டும்
---------------------------
I will add the remaining stanza also soon.
( scholars like Dr.Pasupathy are requested to correct the version)
