Illayaraja-VetriVizha-SoundTrack-Under the RedSkies

A minimalist Piano and Violin version of Ilayaraja's How to Name it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz-MTrlIG_8). The violin recording was lying around for a while now so I added the piano score. This is an adaptation, so the opening interlude is extra and I've stopped where the Simhendramadhyamam stops and the Shanmukhapriya starts. 

Simhendramadhyamam is the raga (mode)the first part of this composition is set in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simhendramadhyamam. It then segues into Shanmukhapriya (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanmukhapriya) in the original full version of this. 

How to Name it

Rare Version from Raja sir’s 300th Film:
In recent years, whenever a song has been sung by Ilayaraja Sir and if the album features the same song being sung by another singer, Raja sir’s version seems to be the most popularly liked one among the majority of the listeners.  
Currently one of the hottest debates going on in Social Networking is about the last track in Prakash Raj’s Trilingual film (Un Samayal Araiyil / Oggarane / Ulavacharu Biriyani) and it’s last track (Track 4 which is Kaatru Veliyil in Tamil sung by Raja sir and Barayada & Gunde Gonthutho in Kannada and Telugu respectively sung by Malayalam Composer and Singer Sharath) as to who has sung better.  In my personal view, Sharath’s rendition sounded very pleasant and there are complicated curves in the opening of the sole charanam which were rendered impeccably. The voice modulations were also outstanding. But when Raja sir sings, a tear or more did drop down to me and I do not know whether I am attaching the emotional attachment with Raja sir or is it due to the feel he genuinely gives to a song. 
Music could be argued as a matter of subjectivity where one form of music need not be enjoyed by some people and one composition may appeal differently to different people.  When Music itself has a strong element of subjectivity, obviously there has to be a wider subjectivity between one composition to another composition and one rendition to another rendition. 
Going a bit scientifically, whenever a composer of the caliber of Ilayaraja Sir sings a song, the amount of the FEEL that’s necessary to a particular composition definitely gets increased as the creator’s knowledge and information about the composition and the creative visualization with which he/she would sing is several times more than the other singers.  
The song of this post is from Ilayaraja Sir’s top 25 blockbuster hit albums of all time (Udhaya Geetham, Tamil, 1984, Raja sir’s 300th Film). But this version is extremely rare as it was released only in select editions of it’s audio cassette.  At the first listening, the rating would be definitely lower for Raja sir’s version as the most popularly heard SPB’s version would be at the back of our mind. However if the feel factor is given consideration, Raja sir’s version may feel better after listening to multiple times and slowly but steadily, Raja sir’s version would start occupying and daunting our minds equivalent to the SPB’s version.
So, let’s listen to this rare version.
