Dr. Balamuralikrishna

One of the most famous names associated with Classical Carnatic Music is that of Dr. Balamuralikrishna. This legendary musician and Padmabhushan awardee is an able composer, singer, poet and instrumentalist who can sing perfectly in three octaves. He was born on 6th October, 1930 in a place called Sankaraguptam located in Andhra Pradesh. He was named Murali Krishnan by his father. The prefix Bala was given by a Hari Katha performer Musunuri Satyanarayana and thereafter he came to be known as Balamuralikrishna. Read the interesting life history of Dr. M Balamurali Krishnan in this short biography.

As a young boy of five, Balamuralikrishna had started to give musical concerts. His brilliant voice gained him instant fame and recognition. He was touted as a child prodigy who perfected almost every song and every tune. His father Pattabiramayya was a very popular musician who perfected the Flute, Veena and Violin. His mother Suryakantamma played the Veena perfectly. Balamuralikrishnan perfected Violin, Viola, Khanjira, Veena and Mrudangam. In India, he is the only musician who has won National Awards for classical music, music direction as well as film playback singing.

Dr. Balamurali Krishnan has immensely contributed to the world of Carnatic music. He was not content with the fame and recognition that he gained by performing in concerts. So he composed a detailed work known as Raganga Ravali on 72 Melakarta (basic scales of Carnatic music). All this at the mere age of 14! Balamurali Krishnan also has over 400 compositions in different music scales that are widely accepted by music lovers and critics alike. He has also created many new ragas Like Mahati, Sumukham, Trisakthi, Sarvashri, Omkari, Janasamodini, Manorama, Rohini, Vallabhi, Lavangi, Pratimadhyamavathi, Sushama, etc.

Dr. Balamuralikrishna has contributed a lot in the world of music. He established the "Academy of Performing Arts andResearch" in Switzerland. He is also working on music therapy. For extensive research in the field of music therapy, he also established the MBK Trust to develop art and culture and spread the knowledge. "Vipanchee", a dance and music school is a part of this trust and is managed by his trustee Kalaimamani Saraswati.

SARASA MOHANA - KOKILAVANI

Song: Sarasa mohana sangeethAmrutha
Film: KokilavAni
Music: G Ramanathan
Lyric: S D Sundaram
Singer: Seergazhi Govindarajan.

If anybody had asked me to cite an example in the raga Sudha dhanyasi some 25 years before, probably I would have said GNB’s Himagirithanaye Hemalathe, or for a film song, a KVM’s Kalaimagal enakkoru or a MSV-TKR’s Neeye unakku endrum or at best IR’s Maancholai kilidhaano. But certainly not had I listened to this SOTD before. Such was the fascination I had for this song from the moment I heard it in Radio Ceylon way back in early 80s. What a beautiful melody! How simple the tune is! Yet the majesty!

As has been his wont, GR has churned out a classical number and serves a feast for eternal joy to his listeners. A very neat work by GR. Just a harmonium, clarionet, flute and tabla. That GR brings the sa ga ma pa ni sa arohanam of the raga to begin the interludes is noteworthy though on the predictable lines but always remember a tabla in a GR song is a co-singer more than an accompaniment (thanks Bhairavan). Follow the tabla carefully in every GR song.

Another high point of the song is the class rendition of the song by Seergazhi Govindarajan. SG was a much sought after singer in the mid fifties after Thuraiyur Rajagopala Sarma gave him a launchpad in Ponvayal (1954) with an exquisite number Siripputhan varugudhaiyya ulagai kaNdAl. GR made it a point to bestow SG with atleast one good song in most of the films he did. The same voice which he used for comic songs in a previous film will be the hero’s voice in the next film sometimes even for Sivaji or MGR. SG’s ringing voice suits the SOTD to a T and particularly the ease with which he touches the higher octaves in the lines …sundara vaankavi sugakkuralil ezhum.. sudhandhira naadhamey sangeetham is really marvellous.

The lyricist of this song Kavignar S .D. Sundaram was a noted playwright during 40s and 50s best known for his play Kaviyin kanavu which had been shown umpteen number of times during the freedom struggle. In this song, he depicts how sublime good music to be, the sheer joy it gives, the power of music and how it influences the nature in simple but sweet words. I was touched by the lines …sandhaiyiley virkkum porulalla geetham, sindhaiyiley ezhum jeeva layam. I can see Papanasam Sivan influence in SDS lines. SDS is well-known for such songs as his another song in Manidhanum Mirugamum (1953) sung by CSJ is a classic…Kaalamenum chirpi seidha kavidhai thaai kovilada. SDS is not to be confused with one another lyricist of his times, a contemporary, ‘Clown’ Sundaram who had penned many comic songs for NSK in many of his films.

KokilavAni (1956) was produced by Forward Art Films, a production company formed by actor S. A. Natarajan (of Mandirikumari fame) with Chinnappa Devar and others and naturally S A Natarajan is the hero of the film. The female lead is Tambaram Lalitha (remember?). The story is a musical subject and hence the title Kokilavani. The title attracted me very much as it reminded me that great singer NCV. The movie was a box office disaster despite GR’s lilting music Let me not delve deep into the story lest you may not relish the beauty of this song.

When this writer requested SG in a wedding reception concert some time in mid-eighties to sing this song, the unassuming singer obliged by singing a few lines as he did not remember the full song nor could this writer help him with the lines then but SG made an appreciative gesture of the choice.

The other songs written by SDS in KokilavAni are Maalaiyiley manasAnthi thandhu (SG), Thiruvey en deviye (SG,Jikki). One other mentionworthy song in KokilavAni is Azhagodaiyil neendhum iLa annam sung by Jikki.
