Massimo Simonini, Angelica Forum, Italy on Ilaiyaraaja's music:

Posted on Nov 7th, 2008 by Akbar : Musical Peace Akbar
Massimo Simonini, Composer & Founder of Angelica Forum, Italy on how he describes Ilaiyaraaja's music:

"The music of Ilaiyaraaja, besides containing many forms, is a good object of reflections and meditations on the form, on its consume, for an eventual, possible expansion. It shows models & rare formulae, unthinkable for the western music song world or western cinema.

His film songs feature a metrics that are strictly linked to the images, to the atmospheres of the movie, while the movie itself appears to be composed by a myriad of narrative video clips, which in turn give the song an opening towards other musical forms - A moving open form, that is strictly linked to the inspiration of the moment, ready to welcome anything in a surprising structure, enriched by a, still so strong, Indian tradition, where rhythm, melody, devotion and surprise travel together.

These entities are seen moving in places where style and form can be continually re-discussed, while still following a logic, a narration. It's almost like a kaleidoscopic song, full of rules, but also rich in expressive possibilities...keeps moving...truly Vedic."

This Song is from a Devotional Album, "GURU RAMANA GEETHAM". For these kind of song the meaning of the lyrics is also important. I will add that text later on. Time being, I write the essence of the lyrics. "Wherever I go!, With me coming (you) Moon! My Ramana's light, Can your light show! The hot rays given the Sun, when reflected by you (moon), are very cool like the sweetness of honey! The light of God, similarly, when given by genius like you (Ramana), we people can sustain and understand! Will expand soon Akbar
