Three in One

is the name of the piece Ilaiyaraaja composed for the live concert in Italy. What's the speciality of this piece? Well, it is composed only in three notes! C,D and E are the only three notes he has used in this piece. Who else could have thought about this? His sheer genius is once again evident. Not only did he compose melody but also the harmony for the orchestra! I guess the audience must have been spell bound. This article is an outcome of listening to Ilaiyaraaja's Italian concert, which I got in the mail just now. There is another piece called "Mood Kapi" which does nothing short of touching your heart. "Heart touching guaranteed". A lot of times I wonder if somebody will just pay me for listening to his music. I really wish there is such a scheme. I'd then be a sure shot billionaire, of course, amongst several others :)
