So much has been written....

So much has been written into the blog world, that the statement "I have no time for ..." is reasonable. There is definitely no medicine to get out of this blogging or blog reading. And there is something for anything and everything in the blog world. Today I started out with www.BlogLines.com and ended somewhere, and it was 5 hours gone.

I wonder why do people write and to whom they write for. Also I notice that blog reading is very equal fashion like the blog writing.

Honestly I am really blind when I am writing this post. I am not sure why I wrote this and to whom, but if there is something that can be done easily, people in the world really tear it apart and explot it well, I mean in the right sense.

Symphony for my lord !!!

I listened to the THIRUVASAGAM symphony by Ilayaraja for the Nth time today, and could not wait to write this comment for the world to see. I think most of us, unless we are properly trained in classical music, it is just some great kind of music by mouth of word. But if you have a decent head phone and really a mind open to appreciate music beyond the fanatic thoughts of language and culture, then definitely it is a classical cross over. Let me explain as it comes to my mind.

Symphony is orchestral kind of music that has several composing rules. And it was proposed by the countries and the people in the west. Thiruvasagam is a devotional recital on the Indian God "Lord Shiva". The originality lies in expressing our own cultural highlights in a highlight of another culture. Until this day, symphonies have been just some orchestral composition and that is all, and it did not have any other meaning or purpose except that it followed the rules of symphony music. But Ilayaraja has taken the "" step in composing the invaluable Thiruvasagam as a symphony without making the epic verses lose the traditional and devotional touch. Is that not a classical cross over ?

I think that is more than enough to understand the height of achivement in composing the Thiruvasagam as a symphony. Let us hear that now, once more.
