Thiruvarutpa - Paal Kaattum - Abhishek Raghuram

In the Ekantham series, I present here a hymn from the Tiruvarutpa - pAl kAttum oLivaNNa padiga maNi malayE - specially dear to me: it has been set to music by my Guru Padmabhushana P. S. Narayanaswamy.
Over the years, I came to know of yet another facet of him - his musical compositions. It was my privilege to know and learn closely from him many of his compositions. Learning these has inspired me endlessly and has provided me close insights into his musical acumen. In conversations with him, I realized that he has set to music, several compositions - Ashtapadis of Jayadeva, spiritual poetry of Sadashiva Brahmendra, Tarangams of Narayana Teertha, Mooka Pancha Shathi Stothram and Tiruvarutpa (sacred hymns of Ramalinga Adigal) to name a few.
Composition presented here is set in raga, Sama and tala, Khanda chapu. Sri PSN Sir approaches Sama from his fresh eyes, chiselling out a profile of the ragam unseen so far, so aptly embodying the lyrical beauty of the hymn to the lilt of five. In his own suggestive, creative way, he underscores the fact - until our eyes start seeing beyond the mundane, beauty continues to remain hidden.

Beautiful! Great to see fresh new compositions. There are many more by many great saints like Vallalar that have never been fully done including many Tarangams of SriNarayanaTirtha you mention above. Plz explore these.

Very nice description! Felt great to read about the Guru and his music acumen.. equally satisfying rendition!

[@drkrsna]

Great Samaa with lots of fresh approach incorporating some Durga/suddhaSaaveri touches without losing Saama's authencity. Very similar to a totally different approach to Sarasaangi by Shri Balamuralikrishna Sir stressing on Maa and bringing Sarasaangi out of Charukesi's shadow which is what most musician's approach was.
