Ilaiyaraaja\'s film scores!

I am attaching here a theme score by Ilaiyaraaja for an Indian movie - the guitar theme is based on Indian Raag KEERAVANI, while the entire score has lots of harmonic elements from Western classical music!

would appreciate your feedback

Hi,


Have just listended to the score and I really like the old-school oriental sound mixed with the guitar. Very nicely composed. Maybe some more theme variations would have been nice but since it is "just" a main score the most important thing is that it is "catchy" to listen to - and that it is ;-)

Nice!

Re: ONE MORE!

I'm not so sure as to what kind of feedback you'd like.
To me those music clips sounds not much out of the "ordinary". Not in my western (clash of culture) view anyway. I might need a more indepth view of the indian music/culture (and it's development) in order to appreciate them more.

Do you have any information about when they were written and what movies they were used in?

And just to make sure - you are aware of copyright issues concerning distribution of mp3 files thru the internet? As I gather you're not the copyright holder of these files, please assure us/me in that these are in fact legal to download and listen to...
The copyright rules are very strict and we here on MIMF, while eager in learning new sides of the musical universe adhere to the concept that everything posted on this site is in accordiance with international law and in now way violating anyones legal rights.

Hi Corno - most of these scores were written in the early to late 90s - as for the copyright issues, almost all of them are available in Coolgoose - so it shouldn't be a problem
