  • The Brilliance of Oottukkadu Venkata Kavi
    The Brilliance of Oottukkadu Venkata Kavi - Chitravina N Ravikiran In the galaxy of all time great vaggeyakaras of Carnatic Music, Oottukkadu Venkata Kavi is one of the brightest shining stars. He is said to have lived between the period of Purandara Dasa and Annamacharya and the Trinity and his date is placed roughly between 1700-1765. Venkata Kavi was a great personality, an innovator who contributed a lot to Carnatic Music but his works were hidden from the mainstream music field for almost 200 years. “The 20th century saw the emergence of the mostly hidden works of three major composers – Annamacharya, Oottukkadu Venkata Kavi and Swati Tirunal,” observed the late Shri T S Parthasarathy, a renowned musicologist and former secretary of The Madras Music Academy. Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer had no hesitation in writing that “Venkata Kavi’s stature equals that of the revered Carnatic Trinity - Tyagaraja, Muttuswami Dikshitar and Shyama Shastri”. Decades earlier, GNB had written a whole article on Venkata Kavi’s greatness as a composer. However, the majority of Venkata Kavi’s brilliant works and original contributions are still unknown to mainstream performers, musicologists, music promoters, music lovers and the media. But this situation is changing fast with the emergence of many of his works. Consummate composer Today, around 400 compositions of his are available to us and these reveal that he was a complete master of the science and art of music in all senses of the term – melody, rhythm or lyrics and was fluent in Sanskrit and Tamil. He was proficient in a variety of musical forms such as the krti, tillana and kavadichindu.

  • Carnatic Column
    Carnatic Music- Thyagaraja Aradhana By Smitha K. Prasad Dear readers, I’d like to wish you a happy, peaceful, prosperous and musical New Year 2014! The ringing in of the New Year brings with it one of the most famous annual Carnatic music festivals viz. the “Thyagaraja Aradhana” held in Thiruvaiyaru, Tamil Nadu. The “Thyagaraja Aradhana” festival occurs sometime during the months of January or February, depending on when the “Pushya Bahula Panchami” day occurs each year, as this is the day that the great composer saint Sri. Thyagaraja attained Samadhi (passed on). Thyagaraja (1767-1847) was one of the greatest composers in Carnatic music. Along with Sri. Muthuswami Dikshitar and Sri. Shyama Shastri, they formed the Trinity of Carnatic music. Sri. Thyagaraja was an extremely prolific composer- of the 24,000 compositions attributed to him, only about 700-800 are available to us today. Among the many great compositions by Thyagaraja, perhaps none is more famous than the set of Pancharatna krithis, which literally translates to five (pancha) gems (ratna). These krithis are composed in the Ghana ragas - Nata, Gowlai, Arabhi, Varali and Sri. Each of these compositions has both swara passages and corresponding sahithya and beautifully brings out the essence of the raga in which it has been composed. The aradhana at Thiruvaiyaru was initially started by Thyagraja’s disciples to commemorate the day that he attained Samadhi. Over the course of time, disagreements set in and two rival factions emerged to organize the aradhana with musicians aligning themselves with either of the competing groups. Unfortunately, women were not allowed to perform at the aradhana.

    Sruti Notes A Publication of SRUTI - The India Music & Dance Society www.sruti.org E-mail: [email protected] Volume 16, Issue 2, Board of Directors President’s Note President Dear Indian Classical Music and Dance Rasikas: Ravi Pillutla Greetings! Hope you enjoyed an India-like summer in Philadelphia as the board is gearing President-Elect Sunanda Gandham up to present to you a very exciting lineup of concerts in the fall. This year, Indian classical music mourns the loss of music stalwarts Pt. Ravishankar, Sri Lalgudi Jayaraman, MS Go- Treasurer palakrishnan and Maha Guru Sri Pinakapani. We are going to miss them dearly, and their Venkat Kilambi contributions to the art will be cherished by generations to come. Secretary The 2013 spring season was a phenomenal success, starting with the Thyagaraja Ara- Madhavi Ratnagiri dhana in April, featuring an American born young musician in Ramakrishnan Murthy, fol- lowed by an exquisite dance performance featuring the contrasting styles of Odissi and Directors Kandyan by Nrithyagram and the Srilankan dancers. Sri Malladi Suribabu's workshop on Ramana Kanumalla manodhrama sangeetham, varnam and kritis in the Pinakapani style and a vocal concert Suresh Tyagarajan by the upcoming Kunnakudi Balamurali Krishna kept us busy in the remainder of April. In Nari Narayanan May and June, we had the fortune of presenting a lively performance of the Malladi broth- Uma Sivakumar ers with a memorable RTP in charukesi followed by a lilting performance by the Mandolin Sundar Arunapuram duo of Shrinivas & Rajesh to wrap up the spring season. We were overwhelmed by the number of families that came forward to sponsor the 2013 events.

  • Sarod & Scheherazade
    NOTES ON THE PROGRAM BY LAURIE SHULMAN, ©2019 Sarod & Scheherazade ONE-MINUTE NOTES Amjad Ali Khan: Samaagam: A Concerto for Sarod, Concertante Group and String Orchestra Amjad Ali Kahn’s concerto fuses Northern Indian traditional instruments with a Western orchestra. Samaagam is Sanskrit for “flowing together,” an apt metaphor for Khan’s compelling concerto. He draws heavily on nearly a dozen ragas, the melodic building blocks of India’s classical music. Listen for drones and improvisatory passages that are cousins to jazz solos. Sarod, tabla and the NJSO’s principal string players all have their opportunity for exercising spontaneous musical creativity. Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade Scheherazade features an obbligato role for our excellent concertmaster, Eric Wyrick. His recurring solo violin line represents the spellbinding voice of the Sultana as she relates the 1001 tales of the Arabian Nights, thereby staving off death by entertaining her husband. Scheherazade’s music is sinuous and seductive. The sultan’s theme, in the brasses, is barbaric, forceful and masculine. The writing is enchanting—a perfect blend of exoticism and impeccable orchestration. AMJAD ALI KHAN: Samagaam: A Concerto for Sarod, Concertante Group and String Orchestra AMJAD ALI KHAN Born: October 9, 1945, in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India Composed: 2008 World Premiere: June 20, 2008, in Kirkwall, Orkney Islands, Scotland NJSO Premiere: These are the NJSO-premiere performances. Duration: 45 minutes Amjad Ali Khan is arguably the most celebrated Indian classical musician since Ravi Shankar. His instrument, the sarod, is a cousin of the sitar. Both are members of the lute family: plucked string instruments with a hollow body.
