Sl. No.80; Gidhu dhuniku thaka dheem; Dhanaasri;
Aadi ; Thillana; Hindi
Artist: Dr. B. Arundhathi.
Note: This thillana was
recreated by the famous violinist Sri Lalgudi G. Jayaraman, in the
current form. It is a unique thillana in its structure and expression
(for instance the stanza which says "listen to what the anklet
is saying
followed by a beautiful string of jathis
jhanana
jhanana jhanana thom, jhanana jhanana jhanana thom, jhanana jhanana
jhanana
). Sri Lalgudi Jayaraman, himself a vaggeyakara who has
contributed exquisite thillanas (in addition to varnams and krithis),
seems to have poured in his musical soul into this thillana. Its charanam
(which is same as that of "Aaj Aaye", composition No. 1),
is noted for sublime bhava. Dr. M S Subbalakshmi, Smt. M L Vasanthakumari,
Madurai T N Seshagopalan, Dr Semmangudi
list of artist who
have performed this is too long.
