Shri Hanuman Chalisa

 

Prelude to Hanuman Chalisa

Shri guru charan saroj raj Nij mann mukaru sudhaari

to be repeated for 3 more verses

Main Hanuman Chalisa

Jai hanuman gyaan gunn sagaar Jai kapis thiyu lok ujaagar

Ram dooth athulith bal dhama Anjani putra pawan suth naama

to be repeated for 38 more verses

The conclusion

Pawan tanay sankat haran; mangal murthi roop: Ram Lakhan Sita sahit; hridaya basau sur bhoop

My attempt to the composing of Hanuman Chalisa is because of two reasons. One, I wanted to use 7 notes. Second, I wanted composition similar to Bach. Music notes made now for prelude, main stanzas and the conclusion. The prelude, main stanzas and the conclusion all have 7 notes. And the prelude, main stanzas and the conclusion all have point and counter-point style reminding us of German composer Johann Sebastian Bach.

Rendering of Hanuman Chalisa

The conclusion is not rendered vocally. Recording was done prior to composing the conclusion. And I do not have advanced sound mixing software.

I have deep bhakti for Shri Hanumanji. Let there be no doubt at all. All the seven notes are there in the music part. But the rendering vocally may not. This is because I have limitations.

Hanuman Chalisa now made complete. With prelude, main stanzas and the conclusion.I subscribed to Audio Mixer and managed to merge audio files.

Like father like son

I listen to 'Like father like son' album these days.

This album has 31 songs.

Last two days

First of all I must say this. I am an above average music appreciator.  I do not know carnatic music. But I have '#Pythashastri' taalam. 

I spent 4 years in Coimbatore and listened to film music.  I came back to Delhi in 1991 and thereafter stayed in northern India. Songs of Tamil cinema before 1990s are known to me. Ilaiyaraja,  MSV and others.

Then I listened to 'Thirukural' film songs.  'Thirukural' is a 2025 movie and the music is by Ilaiyaraja.  I loved the compositions.

After that AI and Youtube kept suggesting the latest songs of Ilaiyaraja.  I listened to about 15 new songs of Ilaiyaraja.  All of 2000s and later. I loved all the songs . There were awesome sound in them and they were magnetic. 

Spotify has a collection of new hits of Ilaiyaraja and Bose supports Spotify too. I shall listen to new songs of Ilaiyaraja in Bose 500.

The 'breeze of Ilaiyaraja of 1980s' seemed absent but 'the folk' and 'the sounds' were there. This is what I felt. 

I listen closely to Yuvan and Harris Jayaraj too.
