Semmangudi Ksheenamai

[@sundarkrishna8588]

இந்த கீர்த்தனையை பலர் பாடிக்கேட்டுருக்கிறேன்.ஆனால் செம்மங்குடி மாமா மாதிரி முகாரிராகத்தை இப்படி அற்புதமாக பாடிய திறம் வேறு யாரிடமும் காணவில்லை.நன்றி.நமஸ்காரம்.

beautiful composition rendered superbly rendered. Vintage Semmangudi

Though Mukhari is labeled as a shoka rasa, it also exudes bhakthi rasa and shanta rasa effectively. Its allied ragas incl. Huseni, Bhairavi, Salagabhairavi, Kokilavarali and Maanji. Mukhari has to be enunciated with very precise swara positions and gamakas in order to achieve propriety, to avoid meandering into neighbouring pastures. The notes in Mukhari include Sadja, Chatusruti Rishabha, Suddha Madhyama, Panchama, Chatusruti Dhaivata (ascent) and Suddha Dhaivata (descent), and Kaisiki Nishada. The Sadharana Gandhara appears in the avarohana and is absent in the ascent. The popular phrases in Mukhari include ‘SRM G, RS’ where the emphasis is on the Madhyama, and ‘PDSR’ where the Rishabha is emphasised. It is a special raga, full of melodic possibilities. Here the legend SSI did sing the monumental composition so ritually in a framed manner while the short words in Telugu word n rightly meld to the flow of Mukhari! Of course, while we listen him we realize the extreme intensity of the composition!!! Pranams to the great Soul....

Semmangudi's nasal intonation while not ideal at the high and low octaves was an absolute winner in the medium octave. Intense yet unhurried, this piece is hauntingly compelling.
