Celtic

Celtic music was originated from Greek & Roman and later, it was considered to be music of Indo-European region & reportedly, their folk music.

Normally, these compositions should have their native instruments alike Accordion/Concertina, Irish Flute, Bagpipes/Uilleann pipes, Banjo, Tin whistle & et al.,

* Raaja sir started its music cult from the Oorampo - Ponnu Oorukku Pudhusu days itself...

* 2nd interlude of Athadi kathadi from Meendum Oru Kathal Kathai has typical of Celtic melody

* 2nd interlude of Poongaththu athu from Nilavae mugam kattu has Celtic fusion with tribal rhythm texture

* Vanampadi from Thalayanai manthiram & Thamaraikodi tharaiyil from Aananda Kummi have tinge of Celtic elements say in the prelude itself...

* Karutha machan from Puthu nellu puthu naathu:


Well, it's prelude has southindian folk instrument called Urumi, resonance of two violins have Celtic nuances and this lude ends with popping of bass guitar and harmonica melody was replicated through synth

* Kaathal thiruda from Pickpocket is “A Polka” song with Celtic 2nd Interlude

* Iniya naal from Manasellam - 1st part has rich children's choir, 2nd movement has 3-part choir with vocal harmonies & Celtic fillers

* Oru naal oru kanavu from Kannukkul nilavu is a Celtic-folk song

* 2nd interlude of Thalattu from Paatukku Naan Adimai


* The trill on flute Konjam thira from Oru naal oru kanavu has tone of Celtic-Pop Capercaillie's "When You Return"

* Interludes of Adaganide cheppedi ela or Kaise kahan from Shiva 2006 or Solvatharukku sol from Udhayam...

* Prelude & 1st interlude of Dheemi dheemi or Manasa adagava from Shiva 2006 or Oru naal maalaiyil from Udhayam - 2006

* Kaattu vazhi - Adhu Oru Kanaa Kaalam & Meri paa from Paa are Celtic-folk numbers.


These compositions have intense melody of Celtic, which was well played with violin & so does the song - Pandathe naattinpuram from Ponmudi Puzhayorathu

* Prelude & 1st interlude of Andala Lokam from Gaayam 2

* Rangu Rangu from Prem Kahani is a typical of Celtic-pop & so does the Swalpa Soundu from Suryakaanthi (Kannada) & so on...!

A big thanks to
Ravi Natarajan sir who has kindled me to showcase the nuances of Celtic in His musical gems...

always
