SrI:
Dear NaadhOpAsakAs : Srimathy Vasumathy Badrinathan is a multi-talented ,
Research-minded Musician-Cum- Bharatha Naatyam dancer residing in Mumbay .
She has released before number of Casettes including one on
AzhwA Paasurams tuned in different RaagAs .
On 7th March , she had a mjor first time event in Mumbay focusing on
past and present Women Composers . Starting from Andal to current day
composers , Smt.Vasumathy BadrinAthan covered the Krithis of women
composers
spanning Twelve Centuries .
I am pleased to learn that one of the present day women cmposers included
in
her honoring was my sister, Sangeetha VidvAmsini Padma VeerarAghavan of
West Mambalam . My sister has composed and tuned more that 200 krithis in
ghana and Apoorva Raagams along with many tillaanAs and VarNams for
use in Bharatha Naatyam . Notable among her creative output is a varNam on
Nava NarasimhAs of Ahobilam and a set of 72 Krithis in MeLa Raagams
starting from KanakAngi . The Mela Raaga Krithis in VakuLAbharaNam ,
Navaneetham on Lord Oppiliappan are very enjoyable . Very few male or
female
composers have attempted to compose krithis in the 72 Mela Raagams .
Our congratulations go to Smt.Vasumathy BadrinAthan for her pioneering
efforts
to the women composers , who need to be recognized for their talent &
Bhakthi .
