10/20 - South Indian Day!

Today in South Indian we analyzed some music, to find the themes and the korwai/tihai

On rhapsody.com, look up Shankar - Pancha Nadai Pallavi, and click on the one in 9 1/2 beats.

Unfortunately it's L. Shankar, and not Ravi.

To count 9 1/2 beats, count double aditala. Clap clap 2 2 3 3 4 4 clap clap 6 6 clap clap 8 8.

Then, like 3 beat cycle, clap clap rest.

The main theme, which is played like this and with more complex rhythms, follows:

Ta-ta-ki-ta-Ta-ta-ki-ta-Ta-Di-ta-ki-ta-Ta-Di-ta-ki-ta-Ta.-Ki.-Ta.-Ta-Ki-Ta-ta-ki-ta-
        5               5                   7                      7                 9                6             3
TA-KA-DI-MI-Ta.-Di.-Ta.-Di.-Ta.-Di.
 4     4     4    4   3    3     3    3    3     3 = 76, /4 = 19.

And, now that I can't remember the korwai since it doesn't let me play the full song, I guess I'm kinda outta luck. I apologize.

My concert was excellent. We were loud, but eh, it worked. Super funky and tight.

Singers three was really good. Dang, ladies.

Singers one was pretty awesome as well, to be expected. The guys were all coordinated, it was cute.

All in all, a good Wednesday.
