Magical World of Rahman Music – 5

In the previous episode we ended with Azhage sugama. It is only fitting to reveal the trivia mentioned in the first episode regarding the usage of single notes in between lines. Here is the detailing explored. That one little note in the stanza. Wow.

While we are on the notes once heard that get etched in our head and it gets played even when just sung casually we definitely need to talk about Kurukku chiruthavale. This particular line, Just go ahead and sing yourself, do you hear the flute notes in the brain. Comment below if you got them etched in your brain too.

Do you feel like needing more? I do. Roja Roja song is a extremely beautiful composition. Its a very intense love song with magnificent orchestration in the interludes. But lets talk about one beautiful aspect. Its mindblowing. In the line, “Ennai entha koodathena, kaiyodu sollatha pullanguzhal” (Pullanguzhal – Flute, and the lines means a flute doesnt deny the hands to hold it), a beautiful flute accompanes it. How fitting and cute it is?

Anjali Anjali from Duet. This song is majorly spoken for saxophone. But it contains so many magical elements. Especially the elements we were analyzing in the past four episodes.

It starts with an amazing sax and Chitra ma’s beautiful la la la, imitating the sax music. Then lets talk about what comes next. Its a long song with three stanzas. Three stanzas of same tune? what all could be done to make it interesting?.

First stanza has a very very cute notes that we have been ravishing in all songs now and also so much in love with.

And the incredible humming of chithra ji. Yes by now we know the trademark of utilization of female humming in Rahman songs.

A beautiful subtle tabla accompanies the mellifluous voice of Chithra throughout the stanza. So 3/4 of the song is over, my dear readers what do we expect to see now?

FLUTE.

And the last stanza is accompanied with a grand orchestration. Three stanza with three different musical elements for three characters in the movie.

And the last part of the song ends with progression and the flute is interwoven with the lyrics for next few minutes and it ends subtly. Now that’s completely a wholesome package with all beautiful elements scattered throughout the song.

Feeling Good? yes Go back and listen to the whole song with eyes closed and get rahmaniac. See you in another beautiful episode.
