First symphony that I composed- Allegro in C major

I needed a change and I've been listening extensively to Mozart, Bach , Vivaldi and sort. I was hugely inspired by the eternal magic in their symphonies. I just opened a new Protools session and started writing the score for a symphony. Here is a 3 minute glimpse of it for u to hear.

Dhanumaasa pularipenninu...

This is one of the compositions I did for "Harmonics", a musical album released as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of Govt. Engg. College, Trissur. I can't remember of a time in my whole life better than the time that I had during the recordings of harmonics. This song is so special for me as it's a reminiscence of my own childhood days. The song captures the feelings and emotions of a calebration happening in a temple and I used to be a part of it when I was a kid. Lyrics were written by Roshan, one of my plus 2 chums. I think I have given him a pretty hard time while writing the lyrics as I have this weird habit of asking for better stuffs even when I'm given the best. But, I think that kinda helped as he eventually came out with an exceptional song - rather an excellet poetry. The song was recorded without much preparations and the whole thing was finished in 3 hours! So, it didn't really come out as excpected. I used three voices for the song, Nitish, Ramu and vipin, the proud talents of GEC. And about the orchestration, I had no option other than FLStudio.  

Special thanks to - Sajiyetan @ Chetana studios and all those who worked behind Harmonics.

Recorded and mixed @ Chetana studios, Trichur.

This is how the song goes...

dhanumasa pularipenninu

thiruvathira naaliludukkan

pularmanjin neryathumayee

poompuzha innithuvazhi vanne

thirayaadum kunnin mele

vellatta kolom vanne

ambalavattathaaro chollum

kinnaram kaathil cholli

thamprati pennaneram

thaambula kootam thedi

thirayadum veeranu nere

olikkannal nottamerinjey

nenjinullil daivathaarin ormayumayi

kannum karalum devanu nalki malorey

virimaaril manjal kuriyum

kanganavum kaalthalayum

mudiyetum theyyam niranjadum neram

thumbapoonjottil pookum poove

graamathin nerum neriyum

vilayadum ambalamundey

kanalaadum kavadiyundey

kudamulla poovukalundey

Here's the song...

Once upon a time in my heart...

Well, here's a piano instrumental that I composed after my college days had just got over. I was at home trying to befriend the inescapable loneliness I was feeling inside from the day I left my hostel, which had become my home to say the least. "Once upon a time in my heart" is not yet complete to be frank. I had to leave to Cochin in search of a job, while the track was only half finished. Here's what it is so far...
