About Me

My photo
Hello everybody, this is Sudha here. I am one of the lovers of music. I want to share my enjoyment with all of you. I am the student of Smt.L.Savithri and I did my Diploma in Carnatic Music through Ghantasala Music & Dance College, Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh with the help of my Guru Vidwan Pemmaraju Surya Rao garu. After I received my Diploma, I continued to develop upon my interest by teaching basic Sanghitham classes to kids and adults. I also participated at cultural events and showcased my appreciation of carnatic music by singing occasionally. For example, I participated in cultural event at Hindu Temple of Florida at Tampa, US. I am also one of the organizers of Annamayya Group of Tampa Bay who had been celebrating both Jayanthi and Vardhanthi of Annamayya for the past 3 years. We performed Sankeertana Yagnam of Annamayya(A tribute of 108 Keertanas for Annamacharya) on May 16th, 2009 in the temple of Sai Baba (Inverness). Recently, I have participated in a fundraising event called Chitram conducted at Hindu Temple at Tampa.

Sree durge

"Revati" ragam is very beautiful especially for deep and gloomy feeling songs. The
"Annamacharya kruthi", nanati batuku sung by legend Smt.M.S.Subba Lakshmi is unforgettable. "Mahadeva Siva Sambho" by Mutthayya Bhagavathar is sung by sri Nityasree which I listened from Musicindiaonline.com is excellent. I tried to compose a song on "Shakthi Swaroopini" Durga in this raaga. Please try to listen and
let me know your opinion on this.

Nandathanaya

"Nandathanaya" means the son of Nanda. The beautiful qualities of Krishna are unlimited. We can't even describe them. I feel very happy rendering atleast some names (namas) of Lord Sri Krishna in Ragam "Bilahari", which is derived from famous Melakartha "Sankarabharanam". Bilahari is used in many film songs. Famous actor Dr.Gemini Ganeshan acted fabulously in film "Rudraveena" as Bilahari Ganapathi Sastry. The song "Neethone agena sangeetham" with the subject of Bilahari is a superhit song. Though it is a small song, I hope everybody will enjoy it.

"Hamsanandhi" is a very beautiful ragam. This is derived from the famous prathimadhyama melakartha ragam "Gamanasrama". I like the song "Vedam, anuvanuvuna nadam"from the film "Saagarasangamam" which was composed in the same raaga by Maestro Ilayaraja. I like the kruthi "Srinivasa tiruvenkata" which I listened from musicindiaonline in this raaga. It was so beautiful. For this song, lyrics were given by somebody else. And I composed the tune for those lyrics. I hope you will enjoy listening to this song.

This is composed in Ragam "Saraswati" derived from Melakartaragam "Vachaspathi"/ There were so many kruthis in this ragam. I like the thyagaraja kruthi "Anuragamule"
in this ragam. I also like the song "Sree Saradamba Namosthuthe" in the film "Sruthilayalu". I once happened to listen the ragalapana in this ragam by Smt.Nithyasree in Musicindiaonline.com. She rendered the importance of prathimadhyama in her ragalapana very beautifully. I hope you all will also enjoy this song.

I want to present some songs which are made in my favorite ragas by my own. I want to start with Lord Ganesha, the remover of all obstacles. Now, the following song is made in Ragam, Amritha Varshini which is very famous. Long back, while one musician sang this raga, rain came. I was inspired by the song "Kurisenu virijallule" from the film "Gharshana"(1988) which was composed by Maestro Ilayaraja which was done in the same ragam.
