ORIGINALS
Aug 14th 2004 Due to popular requests, I am adding selected originals (MP3s) of the songs starting from "A". It will take me a while to dig out my MP3s, or record to MP3 if I have analog versions etc. The originals will stay on the website tentatively : my goal is to provide a reference for students and rasikas (to complement my classes and notations based upon these originals). I have been falling behind in putting up a reference version of the song in addition to the "class" or "detailed" versions, and what better reference version than the original itself! The originals convey the depth, bhava and energy which I simply cannot capture in my "class" based commentaries and they should inspire students to learn these songs. Some of these originals are available from other websites like musicindia.com etc for quite a while.

Errata in Varnams and Meanings of varnams have been updated. Thanks to Dr. Aruna Turaga from California for her kind help in doing the translation and word-by-word meanings!

Added classes for Ranganayakam (Nayaki), Dharma Samvarddhani (Madhyamavathi), Parama Pavani (Atana). Thanks to my mother (Smt. Geetha Kalyanaraman) and my wife (Sharanya) for transcribing word-by-word meanings for these songs. Thanks to Ram Kaushik for the original for Parama Pavani. These classes have more alapana content in them (i.e. exploration of alapana phrases from the krithis). Set up a link for frequent users .
