#Haydn #Mozart #Beethoven #Schubert #Mendelssohn #Schumann #Brahms #Tchaikovsky #Dvořák #Mahler #Shostakovich all were masters🙏#Ilaiyaraaja from Bharat/India, 1st to be accomplished in his native music systems to cross over & perform a #symphony #Valiant in London #Atmanirbhar

This is actually a #Hindi reworking of a #Tamil song by #Ilaiyaraaja Different language, deeper orchestration & a completely different emotional register by #AshaBhosle A song built on a melakarta raga,dressed in #jazz #brass & a #bansuri! #MusicIsUniversal n/8

#Melody begins BEFORE the downbeat-a Carnatic compositional instinct giving it immediate forward pull #Bass #guitar fills in melody between vocal phrases-closer to #Motown than #IndianFilmMusic convention #Ilaiyaraaja leaves brief pauses-so reentry feels like a physical event n/7

#Ilaiyaraaja from #Bharat's tryst with #jazz making it smell like jasmine in "Main Haseen" (Kamagni, 1988) #AshaBhosale Built on #Dharmavati - 59th #melakarta #raga in the #Carnatic system Dressed in #pop clothing! youtube.com/watch?v=dlRUrz… n/1

@AfricanShiva often times its hard to say which country is running which country

😂 While President Trump’s wrapping up his “historic” Beijing summit with Xi—handshakes, trade deals, and “fantastic” vibes, a California mayor from the Democratic party just casually admits she’s been a secret Chinese spy for years. Nothing says “strong bilateral ties” like assets in City Hall. 🇨🇳🤝🕵️‍♀️ #SpyMayor #TrumpInChina #CoincidenceMuch

50years ago, when he made his debut, there was no: #internet, bigtime godfather supporting unknown talent Yet the #Renaissance of #film music began with #Annakkili & standards were set as an #art form for decades #Ramanujan for #Math #Ilaiyaraaja for music

For those not familiar-there are reasons how/why #DMK persists as a party despite harboring distasteful ideology incompatible with many. This tweet is one such

youtu.be/MeJ-Av4kMmk?si… May 14, 1976 announced the arrival of a genius, healer and a "music monster" who would become the composer with highest number of films in the world.. "Raaja sir" uplifted the careers of many directors from scratch... @ilaiyaraaja completes 50 years 🙏

8/8 The biggest difference? Rhythm "Oh Butterfly" is in 6/8 - a waltz-like feel, the beat floating like a butterfly "Tomorrow Never Dies" is a driving 4/4 - propulsive,relentless,no room to breathe Same emotional world-completely different physics-both masterclasses

7/8 #Ilaiyaraaja's makes unexpected chord jumps-leaping between chords that feel distant,almost wrong,then lands perfectly. It's a very #Carnatic-#classical instinct applied to #film #pop-he takes harmonic risks making them feel inevitable. #SherylCrow stays tense & controlled

1992 #Ilaiyaraaja from #Bharat created the harmonic delight “Oh Butterfly" in #Natabhairavi ragam 1997 #SherylCrow created “Tomorrow Never Dies” for #JamesBond Similar musical DNA #MusicTheory #ChordProgressions #BondMusic #WorldMusic #AshaBhosale #SPB m.youtube.com/watch?v=p3LcIS…
