songs having BRILLIANT STARTS

Topic started by vijay (@ 129.252.22.246) on Thu Oct 15 12:16:21 EDT 1998.
All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

i was listening to 'mella mella ennai thottu' from vaazhkai and that inspired me to start this topic. more often than not the tempo of a song is determined by the start the song is given. in the above song raja brilliantly combines a violin with percussion to set the rhythm .

iam looking for songs that have a brilliant starting piece which sets the flow for the song.

examples can include raakamma, shubalekha(telugu), etc. the songs need not be fast paced. for example 'poove sempoove' has a melodious but a good start, IMO. looking forward to u'r contributions.

  there is a great drawback if u visit a thread very late like this. most of my favourites for great musical start have be told and retold by many. so i try to give those which were not listed(may be they are listed and i overlooked them).
  
  avaLukkenna azhagiya mugam           from server sundaram
  poongattru pudhiraanadhu pudhuvaazhvu from moondraampirai

  What abt this song?. Vanam kila vandhal enna from the movie thoongathe thambi thoongathe. The whole song has some wonderful music. The humming in the start of the song is really superb.

  I don't know, had anybody mentioned here about the song "Naan paadum sandham" from duet. An excellent instrumental piece before the start of the song.

  Poonkathave from "Nizhalgal" - listened to it just now...amazing beginning....am beginning to realise that the sophistication IR gave to TFM in 1981 was bcos of the orchestral bass violins...ARR does it today with the deep synth basses giving it the contemporary sound for today..

  "Abinaya sundari aadugiral" sung by sirkali in the movie Mirudanga Chakravarthy has an excellent bright brillian opening with a crisp BGM. It is based in classical rhythm and music.

  2.Kannuku Mai Azhagu - Now this is a prefect song in TFM
  4.Enthan uyiril - Monalisa...mesmerising tune..

  All Arr has good starting tunes...
  
  
• From: mythila (@ 137.237.13.20) on: Sat Mar 1 16:49:57 EST 2003
  
  'Appadi pakruthuna Venam' song from Ivann has a very beautiful start, touching Vasantha (or) Hamsanandi , then opening into the soft Shankarabharanam, once the singer starts singing.
