Rick.. U were hearing with ur eyes closed... This is how we hear Raja sir's songs... Most of Tamil people , Sleep after hearing his songs... His songs are the most effective stress buster for many people daily. So many instruments in one song and beautiful soothing melodies.... His songs are irreplaceable... U have not even scratched the surface... Please listen to his Songs more guys... You will love him.
very true and also he has produced the most funky numbers which still amazes me with the wide variety of genre that he can produce with perfection....GENIUS
Raaja sir is a ONE MAN show. He composes (writes sheet music for every instrument), arranges and conducts as well. He comes from a very humble background from a poor village in Tamilnadu and learnt multiple styles of music in the 60's and 70's from multiple gurus by working 20 hour days. The "playfulness" Rick observed is the signature style of Raaja. As you hear him more you will see. I suggest you react to the "Composers Breath" by Navin Iyer from the album "Nothing but wind". It is about 12-15 mins long. Also you will find that more of Raaja's compositions were recorded in days when equipment was not great. So you have to compensate for the quality of the sound... This was good since it is a modern recording.
More than 6000 songs. All fully notated by a single person for each and every instrument within 30 mins. Impeccable memory, learning and creativity of Indian, western and afro beats.
In Thamizhnaadu it is said Orphans who dont have anybody have one person and that is Ilayaraja..They also say Ilayaraja music is the sleeping pill to many...
Sundari kannal from thalapathi concert 75 Singapore All the songs from the movie thalapathi super hit This song so amazing raja sir took only 45 min to write all the instrumental note
Its just a drop of the ocean... Raja sir music is an ocean... Deeper you travel... Deeper you will understand the wonders beneath .... We southindian jz wetted our foot
@@harishariharan7664 Wow there buddy, Disney has one of the best music compositions amoung any other movie studios. Beast and the beauty, Cinderella, Hunchback of Notre Dame are some best examples.
Ilayaraja. the maestro... since 1980s... better than AR RAHMAN... king of music industry... he never apply for oscar.. if so... he took hundreds of awards.. you can research his music and get PHD. He composed 1000 of songs... evergreen.
"How to name it " and "nothing but wind" are two classics by illayaraja sir. If you dwell why the name of album is "how to name it" the reference point goes to legend jhon Sebastian Bach (1730)...he did great music....at the same time line in South India, Saint Thyagaraja, muthuswamy dikshitar and Shyama sastry pioneered Carnatic music... There's one piece "vathapi ganapathim"( which you guys reacted ) there's commonality/ slight similarity with Bach composition and illayaraja sir came up with this album "how to name it" ...there's some more songs (and then we had a talk piece)....with reference to Mozart and others. Nothing but wind is amazing album One need to listen complete albums. This albums, illayaraja sir did when he is doing 50+movies a year in 1984,85,86 Regards, Ravindra Kumar hg
Just imagine...thousands of such songs every day...every night...at every moment...every occasion... that's our life with illayaraja in it...His music is a part of us...our lives...
Dear rick and korbin please hear the full version how to name it and nothing but wind.you will enjoy more serenity of music.one of you seem to be a musical learned man .you are automatically pulled by the musical blend.these two were composed by him 30 years ago.please also listen to thiruvasagam. You will get to hear a new blend of sounds called music .do enjoy my friends.
This is not hyperbole. Ilaiyaraaja is a once in a generation, peerless colossus. Good choice. And the Jethro Tull track you may be referring to is Bouree (originally composed by JS Bach)
mindblowing...!!! The moment the first note hit my ears.. there was so much of chillness and vibration in my body!!! You guys can check out Non-filmy albums of Raja sir "How to name it", "Nothing but wind", etc...
The actual scene from the film VEEDU is quite emotional. An old poor person is speechless visiting his house (under construction) after facing issues finding a rented home. The context makes the music much more enjoyable.
Earlier this year, in an interview with L Subramaniam, Ilaiyaraja mentioned how he expected more offers to compose for symphonies from Europe after his first one was well received .. but he did not get any offers. He explicitly said he expected success to bring more work like it does in India but the West works differently.
Very unfortunate. Isaignani's Symphony No.1 is the outpouring of an iconoclastic composer, whose spontaneous & instantaneous musical creativity goes berserk, whereby, his scores soar incredibly. Such iconic work, probably didn't go well wth the obdurate traditionalists in the West.
Everyday we are spending our time with Ilayaraja sir, he is always with us when we are walking or jogging in morning, travelling through bus or car to office, working and lunch at office, evening when on play, when on school or college on study, at dinner, at the time of sleep and even after the sleep through dreams. Everyday we are Good morning, Good day and Good night to our beloved Ilayaraja sir. He is our part of life.
Yeah finally, u were landed in our Music God, Maestro raja sir, u guy should explore more songs, but it's impossible 😅, so much works he had! He is Genius, we in Tamil Nadu and even southern states were so blessed that we are living this time with this legendary composer!
React to Jothejotheyalli from the movie Geetha composed by the great Illayaraja sir and sung by the legends Late SPB and S Janaki. An evergreen melody which is also liked by this generation too .....🙏
Also listen to his other two albums "Thiruvasagam" a devotional music to Lord Shiva; you will definitely love the orchestration. And "Nothing but Wind", an album full of flutes. It's played by one of India's greatest flautist! 😊
@@hemalataa1550 omg ofcourse. Thank u so much for rekindling my childhood memories. I was unstelled for a whole a week. I remember seeing that movie as a kid. I love niche movies like that that reflect the struggles of day to day life. Loved the actors performances in those too.
@@hemalataa1550 This piece is originally composed for his album How to Name it , and Balu Mahendra used pieces of this album's tracks as BGm in his movie Veedu , It was not composed for Veedu , but was used in it from the album
Rick, You should listen "Thiruvasagam" , Oratorio composed and orchestrated by Ilaiyaraja. Thiruvasagam is a collection of ancient Tamil poems written by Manikkavacakar. They were transcribed partially in English by American lyricist Stephen Schwartz. This is said to be the first Indian oratorio ever. It was performed by the Budapest Symphony Orchestra.
Thank God now I saw their reaction to this Ilyarajas music composition atlast. I had been suggesting this video for almost an year in fb and insta but no luck. I was so disheartened that I kept away from your channel for long. Now I am so happy to see this. I knew Rick's reaction would be exactly like it is in this video. I guess manifested this 😉😊😊 Thank you for suggesting one of the beautiful compositions of Ilyaraja sir. 🙏🙏🙏
One thing about Ilaiyaraaja's ('Raja sir' is fine) compositions is that all the orchestrations are his own too. He writes every single note played by every person in the orchestra for all his compositions. Just studying his composing style is a journey on its own.
It is glad to watch your reaction of Raja sir's music composition. He creates the best experience for the audience to feel the emotions flavoured through his musical score. Please watch 'Germaniyin senthen malare' (Kamal Hasan song) from Ullasa Paravaigal. You will feel different experience in musical notes.
Don't miss it 🙏🏻🤷🏻♂️ 'Madharasapattinam '- meaning (Madaras-chennai) epic movie👌🏻 and their songs are 🤍 Love story between an indian men and British woman at the time of Independence for India Really it's an awesome movie

Guys! First of all , I appreciate your reaction on my loveable ilayaraja sir composition. I would recommend you to go and listen original. There are some important magical portion missing in this piece.
This was also the title music for Aboorva Sagotharakal Tamil movie by Kamalhassan. Both Veedu and this movie borrowed from this album with proper credits
Ricksegall's reaction from 6.12 - 6.25 is the reaction of tamil people who listens to illayaraaja sir's music... He is God of music... Thank u brothers for picking this symphony master piece for the reaction...
Well I don't know if you've listened to the original piece by the maestro... It's got this brilliant shenoy bit a little before the end that elevates this most beautiful piece of music even more.. The transition from that bit to the end is so mesmerizing it should not be missed.
@@ricksegallactor Now that I have your attention, please go through our Kannada movies and songs requests Rick ❤️ You're yet to discover so many gems here in Karnataka!!!
Ilayaraja is one of the greatest music composer's of all time...for ur reference he is easily at par with the great John Williams or even better than that...as he has done 100 times more musical work quantitatively and ofcourse with sheer magical quality.
Please React to Chinna kannan azhikiran Music by Ilayaraja sir and you will also get a chance to witness very young Sri Devi in black and white film. I hope this comment get enough likes to get your attention.😉
Sung by legend balamurali Krishna... Shiva Kumar and Sridevi....s. Janaki humming in the start is so beautiful.... illayaraja sir nailed it..in "rithigowla" raagam... Similar songs on this raagam are "kangal irindaal" from subramaniyapuram, "azhagana..." From mudhalvan and many Regards, Ravindra Kumar hg
You know what, Ilayaraja writes the complete notes to the every individual instruments by himself in every composition he makes ! He is the genius of this millineum 🔥
We are lucky that we hear these masterpieces everyday in our life....great music by Raja sir...he composed 'Symphany' you should hear his album 'Gone with the Wind'..Thiruvasagam' Etc
ilayaraja sir falls under the ASD just like Seinfeld and einstein. He's extremely intelligent category, that's why he falls up with such beautiful compositions.
