We all know Ilaiyaraaja is a master in orchestration. I noticed a few songs of IR where the interludes begin with a specific phrase (tune), goes on to explore and then return back to the same phrase before starting the charanam. This is really very interesting. I have compiled a list of such songs that I know. Do add any other similar songs that I might have missed out.
Hope you liked it. If you remember more such numbers do add them in the comments.

Again notice the first BGM - Oh Butterfly - Meera
The strings section in the first BGM - Enavendru Solvadhama - Rajakumaaran

All song are very nice. Who is the actor for Ellorum Sollum Paatt I think Aravindhswamy?
ReplyDeleteThanks Ravee. Yes it is aravindhswamy.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting observation.. I have also observed that he goes to places in interludes but finally ends with the note to hand over beautifully to Charanam.
ReplyDeleteDid you observe that he has used in many songs Guitar for the end notes? Or am I wrong?
Hi emjay, thanks for dropping by. Yes you are right.
