Today's/19th enlightening feature is a very popular TFM romantic duet of 1959 composed in Raaga: Abheri (Carnatic music) or Bhimpalas ( North Indian music) in yr IBs. The song is sung by Bhanumati ( on low pitch ) while T.R.Mahalingam ( on high pitch ) under the great MD: G.Ramanathan
I reproduce below a brief description quoted by the famous historian/ critic Manisekharan about this duet for the purposes of study-n- enlightenment. " Kannadasan(lyricist) was very satisfied the way this scene turned up in the movie. There is yet one more unique feature in this song. When SG Kittappa used to sing without the assistance of the PA system,his voice could be heard one mile away. But TRM's voice could reach at least three quarter of a mile when he sang in high pitch. TRM sang almost all his songs in high pitch. the great G Ramanathan tailored a song to make TRM sing in both high and low pitch. In the film: Manimegalai ('59) TRM was made to sing with Bhanumathy who never could sing in high pitch. In the song 'Kankalin Vennilave...; TRM sings on a high pitch while Bhanumathy sings on a low pitch. In the tail end of the song both TRM & Bhanumati sing in a very low pitch." During the entire 3.00 - 3.15 mins of the song notice the slow-swaying mesmerising melodic appeal in the song. Comments invited of any type.
