Dhanasri Thillana | Vid Sriranjani Santhanagopalan Ft. A Carnatic Quartet

A Musical Navaratri 2022- Ep 2
Collab #2 Ft. A Carnatic Quartet
Song: "Dhanasri Thillana" by Maharaja Swathi Thirunal
Navaratri is an opportunity for me to go beyond my own journey of music or rather, take a detour from the scheduled path to experience and immerse myself in the craft of some phenomenal musicians around me. It’s like taking an unplanned halt to enjoy a beautiful scenery during a road trip!
In today's presentation, I have collaborated with some of my wonderful musician counterparts- Shreya Devnath, Praveen Sparsh, Mylai Karthikeyan and Adyar Silambarasan from "A Carnatic Quartet". This rendezvous was endless fun, musically and otherwise. We even briefly unleashed the inner child in us by swapping instruments but of course, that is strictly off the record 😄
With a team like this, we couldn’t have picked anything but the vibrant Dhanasri Thillana by Maharaja Swathi Thirunal.

I can feel you breathe music every micro second in your life. We are blessed to hear and appreciate.

[@devikarajan2227]

Best of thillana always by Shri Swati Tirunal , !. I liked the way it s interpreted in a different own style, the ambience, background, the accompanists being given individual attention and showcase their talents. Sri ranjani s sweet voice and superb rendition. Hats off to all, ! 👏👏👏💐💐👏💐

[@anandamohanvoruganti2684]

The beauty of the composition is seen in the most graceful gestures of the Violin Artist

The seamless fluidity of the human voice and the four instruments is remarkable! Together they culminate to create magical music, yet manage to maintain their individuality! This video was musically, aesthetically and visually pleasing.

[@ramaswamyranganathan6664]

How is it that Lalgudi jayarman's name is not mentioned who tuned the tillana

[@chandrikarajaram4679]

Music prevails in your whole body and every nerve dear Sriranjani

[@rajasrijayalakshmi2242]

My favourite thillana composed by our own Swati Tirunal Maharaja 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@sujatagurav6745]

Wow such a wonderful presentation of this. Mridangam and thavil was something else.. just perfect beats. Simply amazing..thank you 🙏

[@Gnanasekaran.R]

ஶ்ரீரஞ்சனியின் குரல்வளம் வெகு அருமை!குரலே சங்கீதமாக ஒலிக்கிறது.ஏற்ற இறக்கங்கள் வெகு துல்லியம்.வாழ்க!

[@mahadevbt51]

Pranams to entire team members, spreading spiritual health around the world

[@srinathk3830]

Amazing coordination between vocal and such varied instruments - nailed the sound balance between a thavil and a violin and a nagaswaram, which vary so much in power. Sriranjani's brighas are simply brilliant - voice and ideas. Almost MLV like. It's great to see new ways of presenting these time tested pieces on modern platforms! The video shots were also very well conceptualized and done!

[@srimathis2673]

The team is dancing to every note. Thankyou children for bringing sheer pleasure.

[@Nadasbala]

[@lakshmib2154]

Goosebumps!! Real pleasure to watch n hear u all!! Great!! 👏👏👌👌🙏🙏💐💐

[@KVijay-ly5xv]

Amazing performance. But on a small note, this thillana was actually tuned to dhanashree by the great maestro Sri. Lalgudi Jayaraman. So it would be appreciated if you mentioned his name alongside Maharaja Swathi Thirunal's name because his contribution is huge in this thillana

[@chithragopal6950]

Love the passion of all of you youngsters.

[@jagannadharaoayyagari4596]

This ragam danashree sounds similar to abheri. Does anyone else feel the same?

[@MrSvraman471]

Yes it's the same but apparently there's a subtle difference which the learned vidushi may kindly explain

[@venkataramanan4555]

Beautiful presentation! 👌

[@srividyaananth3008]

Superb Sriranjani and the other artistes

[@venkataramanareddyta]

The thavil playing was mature but extraordinary. When nadaswaram and thavil come to the concert stage, this is how they should be played. Mellow but not subdued

[@renganayaki3385]

வசீகர குரலில் தில்லானா ஆஹா மகா அருமை மெய்மரந்தேன். எங்கள் ஆசிர்வாதம் உங்கள் அனைவருக்கும் மாமா மாமி (விஜயகுமார் மாமா மாமி)

👏👏👏

[@ganapathyk1293]

Very sorry to mention only the four .All five have given good performance. Synchronisation is fantastic.Kudos to all. Anticipating to hear more such.

[@bimasu]

Sounds more like abheri. As a common man I am unable to differentiate. In the classic MS amma version, one can feel that something is different from abheri. But this version sounds very much like abheri. I have heard that other than starting with a ni, the scale is pretty much identical.

[@sumathyvenkataraaman6854]

Wonderful wonderful

[@madhurapantulasubramanyam19]

I listen to this everyday ,such a wonderful presentation...

[@sunilKumar-cb4op]

Deergayusman Bhava, Excellence - Percussion equally singing with Vocalist.
