@@vigneshwaranm1989 That's precisely why he's wrong. Illayaraja writes his music in western notations. He doesn't write it in Carnatic swaram notations.
I was in the room in Goa when this happened. Definitely one my most cherished moment The silence when he was composing and the eruption in hall when he reveals the reason for lullaby was just amazing! Genius of the highest order! Ps: Raja sir loves whiplash score.
Great to see you in this thread. Actually, your analysis of raja sir is awesome.. Waiting for more in your channel.. Thank you Regards, Ravindra kumar hg
@@FSTUDIOPRODUCTION Isaignani didn't say it. Director Parthiban commented that Raja sir enjoyed whiplash so much. And the comment.form went something like this as per Parthiban. Did they record the music first and then play or played it then recorded. Meaning it was so perfect.
I have worked closely with his violinists. He used to say, he will write like this for 15 min and then distribute this to all musicians. In his 12 years of working with Raha Sir, Not even ONCE was there any correction. That was his genius!
He is much more than Oscar or any other awards. I'll say one thing though if the academy fails to give him "life time achievement" Oscar (like Satyajit Ray) it'll be a failure on their part to recognize a genius who scored more than 1000 movies and independent albums. His works will remain a testimony to his genius. It'll be never surpassed.
Please do attend an ilaiyaraja concert if he conducts in future at your place ,you will see all sort of emotions from the audience , it's complete worth a watch concert, due to his precision he tries maintaining in concerts
Thankfully i was there to witness this marvel happened in 2019 iffi goa. The feel when you hear Ilaiyaraja songs among the people who cherish them for life is great. I had a Srilankan Tamil Anna sitting next to me who cried listening to many old songs of Raja sir (which the orchestra played live).💜
This was what he has done for all 1000 movies and much more music cassettes.... Many don't know that music can be written... ! But he writes the music and the notes are shared with his musicians and then they start playing... He is the only Asian to write symphony and perform it with the London Symphony orchestra. Symphony has 32 notes on a single music line... That expertise only Raja sir has... He himself wrote it... ! He plays before the queen anyways in several of his London concerts...
He can do so much film coz of that....he will write all notes in an hour...he worked 4 film background score in a single day...4 different genre .. different music..true genius
Rick one thing you got wrong about AR Rahman, he is the exact opposite of Raja sir. ARR literally takes months to compose a song and goes through the notes multiple times to come up with what he wanted. Doesnt take away anything from his brillliance, but Raja sir is totally unique, he knows not one or two but every single track of the song he is composing and can write them immediately one after the other. I've heard stories of how he wrote the notes one by one for the Rakamma song to give to the different artists. It sounded so odd when they were playing their own parts. Only when everyone played together did they realise the beauty of the song, after the recording everyone gave a standing ovation for 10 minutes. There is only one Raja sir and it feels sad that we will witness an end to this brillliance within our lifetime.
Gerard there is no denying on speed of Raja Sir composition..ARR takes lot of time for polishing the song, layering with instruments hence these are different aspects...
@@sudhir3839 Thanks for pointing it out bro, I had heard this story further back in time.. But I found your reference. @pramodh holla ruclips.net/video/xjn0SbcVA9M/видео.html
He is an extempore composer for lack of a better word. The most time he has taken to compose any song of the 1,000+ movies now is 30 minutes. The way Raaja sir explained it music just comes to him - it happens. Sometimes he hits a chord on his harmonium (wooden box you see in front of him) and starts writing. He writes score for every instrument. It is truly a gods gift. No one in India composes this fast.
@@MrUdayright Mozart most probably, he is known for not having any corrections on his compositions. He wrote down music just like it came to his mind. Beethoven on the other hand is known to have many corrections on his compositions until it was perfect. Two different approaches but each one of them are phenomenal in their respective Eras.
Raja sir's notes are original. He never repeated twice in his music carrier. That's why he could raise Upto symphony and named as Maestro. ( His outputs are " Gone with wind" and "How to name it" long years back)
For us, its unbelievable, unimaginable, out of the world etc. For Raja sir, its just a another walk in the park Its a bliss and blessing to have been born & grown in his era 🙏
AR Rehman was a pianist in his legendary troupe...and had done 500+ films with him before turning composer himself and AR is still being corrected/scolded by him if he miss notes u should watch that video :D. When u learn from legend in a discipline way u become a legend...
Imagine this as a scene in theatres... The son walks behind his father and stabbed him and the father remembering his beautiful childhood memories with his son in tears (All this in slow Mo) simply amazing !
Imagine people like raajaa, msv, rafi, tms, susheela , spb, etc etc take 30 minutes to create some genius stuff and people take 20 years to master that piece or song !!! And they do it for 50 years... thats the power of being rooted in classical music!!
When Raja sir breaks it out instant chills .. immediately gives it a view where father is just relaxing somewhere and the son is going to kill him ... Legend 🙏
I was stunned bcoz i saw raja sir he was standing in front of me at "meenakshi amman temple" in madurai..no guards, no police, there's no restrictions but i can't go close to him i don't know why... Ilayaraja ilayaraja thaan😇😇😇
Man you must stop behaving like a Commie Fascist and respect the Democracy and the Freedom that we have been given. Your comment literally sums up your existence which indeed is poop. 😆🤣 . Stop being so hate driven and leading a meaningless life and go read about the contributions of 'TamBrahms' to the Nation and the world..
I hv heard ppl saying Raja sir has composed music for 5 songs for one film in 30 minutes... Imagine he scored music incldg BGM for 30 to 40 films in a year (in more than 3 languages) in 1970s and 80s... 😎
Include me. It is 30 years. If I didn't listen to radio, FM, CD , MP3 or RUclips, now echo dot, atleast I would have hummed one or two albums (bathroom singer)
Watched couple of times already. Every time the music sounds fresh! That's the amazing thing about Raaja. He once said "music should be either like a flower blooming in front of you or it should convey a concept". What a beautiful mind he's got!. It sometimes hurts to see people deliberately spread false news about him, accusing him for being arrogant. He's never shy of speaking his mind more importantly never try to appeal anyone by pretending as a humble guy. Over the time i found out people never change their opinions even if you prove their assumptions are wrong. As for me and his dedicated fans we feel lucky to alive in the same time as this genius and forever grateful to him. Rick & Korbin are doing a fantastic job of exploring his music. Most of their viewpoints about his music are shared by his die hard fans. You guys are part of Raaja mafia now 😀😀😀
Well articulated. I share the same thoughts since the 90s. He is a phenomenon. Just that we waited for our reincarnation (music god). He is a music Saint, Distant healer and embodiment of peace and tranquility. There is just one sun, one moon, one Thyaga brahmam, and Gnana Desigan (Raasayya).
Illayaraja was already famous since the 1970s n ws a instrumentalist gold medalist (guitarist) of trinity music college. He ws also given the title "maestro" by the London Royal Symphony and an originalist. He tend to use more folk instruments to bring the out the beauty of various instrument and not just electronically mechanised ones as todays. He was key to make it possible for people to revisit & appreciate folk and country music once again during the budding years of techno music. As many experts say "music is in his blood" and "The notes in his brain" n yes he is very gifted but studios
He is nicknamed Isaignani (musical genius). He has sung hundreds of songs for films from his composition. 1. Aagaaya thaamarai (Naadodi paattukkaaran). 2. Naan thedum sevanthi poo ithu (Tharma pathini). 3. Sorgame endraalum (ooro vittu ooru vanthu) 4. Idhayam oru koyil (Idhaya koyil) 5. Oru jeevan (Geethanjali) 6. Kaadhal oviyam ( Alaigal oyvathilla) were some songs sung by him.
His knowledge beyond everything AR rahman worked 500films with Raja sir so u can imagine rahman is just the tip of the ice berg. Raja is way beyond us.
No comparison to AR RAHMAN, AR IS INTERNATIONAL ICON moves crores of hearts across the globe, ILAYARAJA is great but RAHMAN is really way beyond out of the world, but both r legends…
Yes there is no need to compare the legends, they are each great on their own way. If ARR could dominate for 3 decades even at IR times. With all respect to the great IR, ARR is legend himself with his own talents who's music is not only for Indian fans but all around the world, Hollywood/British/Chinese moviees/Iranian movies/Arabic/South America etc... So many to list.... Pls do not insult other legends because of your favorite one..
Music flows to him naturally and instantly...while others need time for inspiration or homework..our Raja gives out music..instantly as if he is golden pot full of music!!👌
It was so beautiful to listen to and to know that it was all done in like 5 minutes is just unbelievable. Like even unbelievable is an understatement for this craftsman.
Interesting observations. Thank you for posting this video. I had the opportunity to witness a recording in progress, at Maestro Ilayaraja's studio, decades ago. He is the only true composer in the entire Indian film music industry, as he has the entire music/song scape in his head and writes down the scores. His music is not an afterthought. Nor cut-and-paste method adopted by other music directors/ arrangers who assemble music parts like a jigsaw puzzle. Maestro writes the parts for all instruments at one go. He literally downloads the entire song/piece onto his score sheet. He often says that he is unable to write as fast as his mind composes. Hence only a part of his thinking gets on to the score sheet. It is observed that he writes (say) the 10th bar first , jumps to the second, then 1st and 3rd bar. Not in in a sequence. For arrangement, he clearly remembers the tones and at times its number on the keyboard. All his musicians have to sight read the scores to work in his studio. Background scores composition is unique. Studio. Film runs on screen. Digital wall clock for timeline. Semidarkness. Maestro writes the score for the entire movie. Silence is a part of music. Instruments and (musical) motifs assigned to characters. Same phrase, different arrangements to convey sadness, happiness, tension and other emotions. I can go on.. there is so much more of this musical genius. So I shall leave here and go practise his songs.
Guys pls react to '"Valaiyosai Kalakala Vena'" song from the movie "Sathya" composed by Raja sir and sung by Great Spb sir & Latha mankeskar mam. U guys love it definitely ❤️
I'm a malayalali. but ilayaraja sir compused many Malayalam so i like ilayaraja sir more🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳😌😌😌😌😌😌😌🙇🙇🙇🙇👩❤️👩 music king of Tamil Nadu 🙏🇮🇳
It's about time somebody ask them to react to Illayaraja's first song from Annakkili Album, came out in 1976. I am not sure the first recorded song was Annakkili Onna Theduthey or Matchana Paattinggala.
i should note one more point.. his 6k songs in 1200 movies.. in a span of 4 generations... a song is just 5 to 6 minutes.. which he said has always done it in 15-30 mts.. only one song in tamil which he has taken 45 mts... he writes the notations (apart his main idea of music which comes in his mind the tune , the number of instruments, the orchestration, timing, the 2 part of the song, etc..) . by the way there are Background music for the same film which has 5-6 songs for a movie on an average.. his routine is come in the morning 7am sharp, in the studio, see movie tracks (just dialogues) and compose music 7-9 see the movie , take notes, give the notes by 9am to the orchestration team of say 40 instruments, and then do rehearsal from 10-11am.. and go for Take and perform 2-4 pm.. so in 1/2 day the BGM is done.. and then take the 2nd movie.... in a festival season he has tackled even 3-4 movies in a day with BGM for 3-4 movies plus around 20 songs.... just imagine he has been doing it for 3 generations and now even generation Z also enjoys music he has done since late 1969... thanks
Even depressed people become happy with his songs... a lot of people have quit harming themselves because of his music.. A musical GENIUS who brought western and Indian classical together..
He is singer Rick's ....and next thing he make composed song....❤️ Past 30 years he make music magician 👍old song everything is feel good 👍I had watch every video for your Chennal until now ...👍you are South Indian favourite reactors 👍❤️all the best 💘
Hi guys take note till now all composers around the world they compose Sympony minimum time they take 6 months but Raja Sir only complete in 14days ....
Rick u got it exactly right,he said in so many interviews,he gets the music very fast,he can write as fast as he gets in his mind,and the idea gets away,so he just write it like short hand on musical notations...he is the real musical genius alive,if not tell me anyone anywhere in the world,i give an open challenge
Guys there is a movie called Hey Ram. In that the original music director left and the movie was nearing post production. The director sought Raja sirs help and to an already shot video he wrote a song and composed music and everything synced. Still many think the song was shot after song was composed. Also, remember, in that situation there was no song originally in that movie. Those were normal scenes but he overrode them and made a song upon the screens as if the director made those scenes for a song. He has done things like this numerous times and told directors to make a song when he sees a situation
Guys Listen to Ilayaraja's old songs whenever you get rest. You will be chiseled. Use head sets or good music systems. Visually may not good because it's all 80s songs. Listen only through the Ears
The unique thing is that the notes are in classical music form yet the arrangement of the instruments is in the western symphony form. this is how one should blend music. true GENIUS this man 😇😇
Perfectly summarized.. Spot on
symphony itself is a Classical music form. What do you mean by classical music? Confused??
@@tns8022 By 'Classical music' he meant the Indian classical music (here Carnatic). Symphony is a part of the Western classical music.
@@vigneshwaranm1989 That's precisely why he's wrong. Illayaraja writes his music in western notations. He doesn't write it in Carnatic swaram notations.
@@tns8022 That's okay. In any case the melodies in Ilayaraja's songs are inspired by Carnatic ragas. So it kind of makes sense.
I was in the room in Goa when this happened. Definitely one my most cherished moment
The silence when he was composing and the eruption in hall when he reveals the reason for lullaby was just amazing! Genius of the highest order!

When he is above the level of oscar why he need oscar. He got most precious award loyal fans from all generations.

Interesting observations. Thank you for posting this video.
I had the opportunity to witness a recording in progress, at Maestro Ilayaraja's studio, decades ago. He is the only true composer in the entire Indian film music industry, as he has the entire music/song scape in his head and writes down the scores.
His music is not an afterthought. Nor cut-and-paste method adopted by other music directors/ arrangers who assemble music parts like a jigsaw puzzle.
Maestro writes the parts for all instruments at one go. He literally downloads the entire song/piece onto his score sheet.
He often says that he is unable to write as fast as his mind composes. Hence only a part of his thinking gets on to the score sheet.
It is observed that he writes (say) the 10th bar first , jumps to the second, then 1st and 3rd bar. Not in in a sequence.
For arrangement, he clearly remembers the tones and at times its number on the keyboard.
All his musicians have to sight read the scores to work in his studio.
Background scores composition is unique. Studio. Film runs on screen. Digital wall clock for timeline. Semidarkness. Maestro writes the score for the entire movie. Silence is a part of music. Instruments and (musical) motifs assigned to characters. Same phrase, different arrangements to convey sadness, happiness, tension and other emotions.
I can go on.. there is so much more of this musical genius.
So I shall leave here and go practise his songs.

He is God of music Ilayaraja sir and first Asian to compose royal Philharmonic orchestra in London
Laxmikant pyarelal are greatest
It's about time somebody ask them to react to Illayaraja's first song from Annakkili Album, came out in 1976. I am not sure the first recorded song was Annakkili Onna Theduthey or Matchana Paattinggala.
That was annakikiyae onna thedudhae only...
Maestro ❤️
I was waiting for this video for soooo long .... Nice u did it 🙏
All geniuses are known for their humor sense and Raja sir is not an exception.
Maestro Ilayaraja rocks 👍👍❤️
Legend. He is a legend. Even the legend AR Rahman worked/trained/learned under him.
Great indian composer ilayaraja 👏👏👏👍👍👍
It's Magical... proud that I am from his home town...
He is the only musician that I know of who can compose pure folks, pure carnatic classic, western classic in addition to others. God
Great demo by Rajaa.. 👏👌😘Vaazhga Valamudan🙏
Raja sir is a symbol of hardwork, discipline and excellence!!!
And endless passion towards music
Ok can totally picture this song in that scene....what a brilliant man he is ....respect and only respect 🙏🙏🙏
i should note one more point.. his 6k songs in 1200 movies.. in a span of 4 generations... a song is just 5 to 6 minutes.. which he said has always done it in 15-30 mts.. only one song in tamil which he has taken 45 mts... he writes the notations (apart his main idea of music which comes in his mind the tune , the number of instruments, the orchestration, timing, the 2 part of the song, etc..) . by the way there are Background music for the same film which has 5-6 songs for a movie on an average.. his routine is come in the morning 7am sharp, in the studio, see movie tracks (just dialogues) and compose music 7-9 see the movie , take notes, give the notes by 9am to the orchestration team of say 40 instruments, and then do rehearsal from 10-11am.. and go for Take and perform 2-4 pm.. so in 1/2 day the BGM is done.. and then take the 2nd movie.... in a festival season he has tackled even 3-4 movies in a day with BGM for 3-4 movies plus around 20 songs.... just imagine he has been doing it for 3 generations and now even generation Z also enjoys music he has done since late 1969... thanks
See how immersed he is to make it correct....that too on stage...Work of Genius
he is the truest genius, making simple music , music simple, God's gift
Thanks, for review, he's my favorite
What a word of finally of raja sir ,he is the father, what a genius ❤
Even depressed people become happy with his songs... a lot of people have quit harming themselves because of his music.. A musical GENIUS who brought western and Indian classical together..
He is legend. He deserves all credit.
In 1980 to 2000 all South Indians people listen Raja sir songs before they sleep, many times tears has been come from my eyes
That had me in tears!
Illayaraja sir... Simply the Legend 😍

You guys should come to chennai next time and make an interview or just a fanboy thing with Raja sir. But i think it was impossible
Hi guys take note till now all composers around the world they compose Sympony minimum time they take 6 months but Raja Sir only complete in 14days ....
Those musicians are amazing. They are masters for sure! ❤
I respect you guys from the bottom of my heart🙏🏽
His imagination is unlimited and spontaneous...... The Mastero
He's not a human. God's Gifted him to make people mind calm to the core ❤️❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐
Rick u got it exactly right,he said in so many interviews,he gets the music very fast,he can write as fast as he gets in his mind,and the idea gets away,so he just write it like short hand on musical notations...he is the real musical genius alive,if not tell me anyone anywhere in the world,i give an open challenge
I'm getting Misskin vibes from this tune 😍
that guy off late hijacked Raja for most recent movies ...
True 🤣😎🥰
10:32 ohhh Raja, U Complete genius ❤️, totally changed the colour of the scene, shows that how good screen writer he is ...
Its like: As If 'God Father' Series was Inspired by this LEGEND. Laa lah, lalla laalahhh.
Guys there is a movie called Hey Ram. In that the original music director left and the movie was nearing post production. The director sought Raja sirs help and to an already shot video he wrote a song and composed music and everything synced. Still many think the song was shot after song was composed. Also, remember, in that situation there was no song originally in that movie. Those were normal scenes but he overrode them and made a song upon the screens as if the director made those scenes for a song. He has done things like this numerous times and told directors to make a song when he sees a situation
Raja Raja Dhaan.. Maestro for a reason..💓💓
Thats why we called music maestro ♥️❤♥️❤♥️❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Guys Listen to Ilayaraja's old songs whenever you get rest. You will be chiseled. Use head sets or good music systems. Visually may not good because it's all 80s songs. Listen only through the Ears
