Nice performance guys. Nice to see more people taking an interest in this material. I rarely comment on any youtube stuff but make an exception here. Below is a little more detail on the syllables as they would be pronounced by a south Indian artist. Syllables in brackets are ghosted syllables, sometimes played as ghost notes. Pronunciation of syllables differs from player to player. For example, if the artist has studied with a Mridangam artist that specialises in Bharatanatayam dance and Natuvangam then the pronunciations are likely to me more decorated and poetical. The material in the compositions stems from the early Mridangam lessons where the student learns to integrate the sounds THA THI THUM NAM with the faster passages such as ‘KIDATAKA’ TARIKIDATAKA’ ‘TAKATARIKIDATAKA’ ‘DINATAKATARIKIDATAKA’ Etc. The conclusion is the basic Mohra reduction ending with a longer ‘Korvai’ and ‘Arudie’ to finish. One thing to note. Indians often pronounce with an accent on the letter ‘H’ dHa / tHa etc. Once you learn the music this is taken as norm but to read it for the westerner it is easier to remove the letter H from the notation. Also, there are lots of ways to voice, pronounce and orchestrate the same passages. For example. DI-TUM-Kidataka DiguTarikidataka - could be DI-TUM-Tarikida takaTarikidataka - or various other options The time cycle here is - Misra Japu Tala 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Wave Wave Clap Clap The format is elementary. 1 - Play time cycle with phrases 2 - Introduce solo phrase as a theme 3 - Resolve theme with short Arudi / Mukra / Tiai - Phrase repeated X3 to end on downbeat. One of the primary differences with South Indian compositions (Seen here) and North Indian is that North Indian include the down beat in their calculations whilst in the south they fill the time cycle with calculations and add the downbeat as an extra. There are obviously exceptions to the rule but this is the normal procedure 9 times out of 10. Syllables.
