Of course, the Ragas differ in the way they are sung/played. The Hindustani Raga Jog is very close to this Raga in structure.While Gambhira Nattai uses only one variant of ‘Ga’, Jog uses both the variants.
The Arohana/Avarohana pattern is sa ga3 ma1 pa Ni3 Sa/Sa ni3 pa ma1 ga3 Sa. Gambheera Nattai is a pentatonic raga and is derived from the 36th Melakartha Chalanattai. The composition is ‘Innum Ennai Enna Seiya Pogirai’ from ‘Singaravelan’.Īs usual, the Raga is handled with dexterity but there is one more beauty in this composition that makes it stand apart majestically! Today, we are going to see a composition of his that is based on a Raga which is literally Majestic.The Raga is Gambheera Nattai(Gambheera-Majestic). Thirdly, he also composes songs that are as majestic as these great expressions.
Secondly, the speed with which he composes Music is incredible and nobody can match it-like the Rama in Kamba Ramayanam. The first reason is because he also Came, Composed Music and Conquered millions of hearts. I am also reminded of Raaja’s Music while reading these Expressions. The expression ‘Eduthathu Kandanar, Ittrathu Kettaar’(Saw him lift and heard it Break!) is similar to ‘Came, Saw, and Conquered’! ‘All efforts not to blink and see Rama in action are in vain.Īll they see is the Bow in Rama's hand. There is an instance in Ramayana where Rama breaks the Bow of Shiva to marry Sita.To indicate how quick and dexterous Rama is Kamban says, Tamizh Poet Kamban –who is called as the Master of Words-has composed lot of verses that abound with such subtle and majestic expressions. These words were spoken by Julius Caesar after his victory over Pharnaces II of Pontus.The English Translation of this Latin phrase, ’I Came, I Saw, I Conquered’ is one of the most famous quotes of all times and one is left wondering as to how words could sound so Majestic!
