Hi friends,
Music is an art that puts sounds together in such a way that people like or find it interesting. It includes singing with voice or playing musical instruments. The word music comes from the Greek word Mousike. It means "art of the Muses". It means a person, especially women, who is a source of inspiration. The Muses were the nine goddesses who symbolized the arts and sciences.
In 1000 CE [Current Era], Guido D'Arezzo made many improvements in music theory. He first improved and reworked standard notation to be more user-friendly by adding time signatures. Then he invented SOLFEGE. It is a music education method used to teach pitch and sight singing of western music. This is the vocal note scale: do, re, mi, fa, la, ti, do.
I do not wish to elaborate any further. Music has its own history. It relieves stress and strain. It gives solace to the soul. It gets you peace of mind. It makes you forget the present and your worries. It is divine. All people do not have the capacity to sing. Years of practice is needed. The training has to start early in life when the vocal chord is flexible.
Some people, though not able to sing, maybe appreciative of the music. They may be knowing the nuances of music. They get happiness in listening. The third category neither knows singing nor the nuances of music but simply enjoys music. Most of people love music. Those who do not enjoy music are unfit to live.
Carnatic music is divine. It is very difficult to learn and to perform. Only a few people show interest. Modern music has taken its place. When I was young, in Srirangam temple, they used to play Thiruppavai by M.L.V. in the morning. I have interest in Carnatic music, especially after my marriage. I give below a list of ten songs which I like the most.
1. Sri Chakra Raja Raagamaliga Sudha Ragunathan
2. Sobillu Sabdhaswara Jaganmohini Radha Jayalakshmi
3. Chinnanjiru Kiliye Raagamaliga G.N.B
4. Ongi Ulagalandha Uthaman Arabhi M.L.V
5. Banturithi Kolu Hamsanadham Radha Jayalakshmi
6. Krishna Nee Begane Baro Yaman Kalyani Yesudass
7. Chamaja Vara Gamana Hindolam G.N.B
8. Alaipayudhe Kanna Kanada Sudha Ragunathan
9. Radha Samedha Krishna Kalyani G.N.B
10.Thaye Yashodha Undhan Thodi Madurai Mani Iyer
In Chennai, there are Sabhas that give patronage to Carnatic music during Dec 15th to Jan 14th or Margazhi, Tamil month of Lord Vishnu. Many talented singers, old and new, are given opportunities. My wife is a good singer and interested in attending music programs. Though we do not have the time, we go for the programs of the following vidwans.
1. Sri Jesudass, 2. Ms. Sudha Ragunathan, 3. Sri Unnikrishnan, 4. Sri Kadri Gopalnath in saxophone, 5. Sri U.Srinivas in Mandolin [till he was alive], 6. Priya Sisters, 7. Chinmaya sisters, and 8. Ranjani Gayathri.
