Vara nārada nārayana - VijayashrI - Adi - Tyagaraja - Rao R Sharath

Описание: Kalaratna Vid Rao R Sharath presents a kriti of Thyagaraja in the raga Vijayashri set to Adi tala.

Expcerpts from a concert held at Gayana Samaja, Bangalore, as a part of Madwanavami Celebrations.

In this piece, Tyagaraja's "Vara Nārada Narayana" serves as a prayer to Sage Nārada, hailed as the guru of all realms. Vijayashri, with its faint resemblance to the Varali raga and the prominent note R1, intrigues listeners with its distinctive feature: commencing and concluding with the middle octave Panchama. The contemplative atmosphere evoked by Vijayashri prompts one to marvel at Tyagaraja's choice of this raga for a composition dedicated to Nārada.
