In this episode we dive into the atomic elements of composition that we can observe in Raaja's music. How does he use sentence structures and motifs in his compositions?

In this episode we dive into one of the first true fusions of Carnatic and western classical music to come out of India - Ilaiyaraaja's 1986 independent album How To Name It.

Additionally we dive deep in to 2-3 specific pieces and what Raaja has been able to achieve in terms of composition there. Topics Covered: What was perceived as fusion at the time How To Name It was released? A detailed breakdown of the title track and what it achieves in terms of melding the Carnatic and Western classical forms What is fugue and why did Raaja choose this form for a piece in the album?

Singen, tanzen, Gemeinschaft erleben. Raaja Fischer ist Chorleiter, Pianist und Musiker. Und ein Botschafter des Friedens. Er begrüßt uns mit einer Komposition am Klavier. “Dolphins and Birds”. 1998 war Raaja auf seinem 1. Unicorn Voice Camp in England. Tief berührt von dieser Erfahrung hat er das Camp nach Deutschland gebracht. Inzwischen hat das deutsche Unicorn Voice Camp im Wendland sein 20jähriges Jubiläum gefeiert. 10 Tage gemeinsam singen und tanzen für den Frieden. Durch das viele gemeinsame Singen geschieht ganz viel Herzöffnung, die Menschen werden jeden Tag strahlender, leuchtender und schöner. Tränen fließen, es wird singend gebetet, getanzt und meditiert. Für mich war das Camp ein ganz tiefes nach Hause kommen. So schön. Hab ganz viel Freude und lass Dich inspirieren von meinem lieben Freund Raaja aus dem Wendland. Von Herzen Deine Annika

During Raaja Nemani's backpacking trip to the Himalayas, his guide made a simple comment about luck. It would take months for Raaja, the CRO of MarketerHire, avid traveler, and lifelong learner, to truly grasp the meaning of the comment, but that understanding would have a profound effect on his worldview.

With the macro context set in the first three episodes of the series we shift focus into musical details - specifically Raaja's use of folk music.

Where the entire pod covers only three or four things (not that focus means better or anything) like the new season of Comicstaan Tamil, some crocodiles / alligators and a bit of Christopher Nalan. One of the panelists happened to see the Will I Am - ARR conversation and so, the end credits song is this version of that Raaja song (still the best part of the pod, of course).

We like to call this episode "A Brief History of Music." To understand where both music and its listenership stood at the beginning of he 20th century we trace the origins of music - with a specific focus on European and Indian music - across 4 key stages of evolution. We believe this fact base is critical to understand why film music and Raaja have the impact that they do on us today. Also here's Part 1 of this series you might want to check out. Key eras/aspects of music covered: The stone age (musical cue: Dr. Jean-Louis Ringot on the lithophone) Higher Civilizations - primarily the Greek and Indian eras The B.C. to medieval ages of music (musical cues: Gregorian and Rig Veda chants) The classical era of music (musical cues: Handel's Messiah and Raga Behag by Charumathi Raghuraman) Participants: Deepauk Mahesh Bala Chidambaram Related books, links and references: Raaja opening clip: Podhigai Interview with T.V.G Opening Music: Sangeethame from Kovil Pura Closing Music: Uliyin Osai A short history of music by Curt Sachs Shape of Ancient thought by Thomas Mcevilley Bala's blog post on musical history

Happy Birthday Raaja! Today we kickstart a new series on Raaja through which we attempt to construct a framework to approach, understand, and appreciate the phenomenon of Ilaiyaraaja. We dig deeper into his colossal career and try to make sense of how a composer with a classical approach achieved such immense admiration from the mainstream public. Through these discussions we ponder over how his staggering achievements could guide us in creating a better musical culture paving the way for a future where good music and hit music aren't parallel ideas, where classical music can once again attain its peak state as people's music. With such modest ambitions, do we start.... Participants: Deepauk Mahesh Bala Chidambaram Related links: Raaja's interview sections. The Guitar Prasanna article. Bala's blog series on Ilaiyaraaja.

Julia Fisher talks to Raaja Grimberg at the YMCA in West Jerusalem. She was born into an Arab family living in the north of Israel. As Raaja was growing up, her parents, who are Christians, were very involved leading an organisation called Kings Kids which brings Arab and Jewish children together in a spirit of reconciliation. And so it was against this back drop that Raaja developed her thinking as she explains. Our aim is to build bridges... To build bridges of understanding and support, in a spirit of reconciliation, between believers (both Jewish and Arab) in the Holy Land (Israel and the Palestinian Areas) and Christians worldwide. olivetreefund.org
