Tala Beku Takka Mela Beku🔸ತಾಳ ಬೇಕು ತಕ್ಕ ಮೇಳ ಬೇಕು🔸Bhairavi🔹Purandaradasa🔹 Dr. M Balamuralikrishna

The objective of this specific upload is in response to a query and a request made by a distinguished rasika.

Tāḷa bēku takka mēḷa bēku (ತಾಳ ಬೇಕು ತಕ್ಕ ಮೇಳ ಬೇಕು) is a well known composition of Karnataka Sangeeta Pitamaha Sri Purandaradāsa, stressing the need for prosody in musical compositions. Developing this idea further, Saint Tyagaraja, the supreme architect of the kriti form in Carnatic music, lays down the grammar for a kriti in his celebrated composition “Sogasugā mridanga tāḷamu”. Taking this profound message of the role of essential elements and great importance for music, Dr. M Balamuralikrishna (BMK) too emphasise that music in a refined form is the composition that is built with the bricks of bhāva, rāga and tala and cemented with bhakti, rakti and tanmayatvam.
In this particular rendition which is tuned in the rāga Bhairavi, BMK emphatically articulates each word of Purandaradāsa with its intended meaning, highlighting the essential elements for a musical rendition and its presentation.

It is interesting to note how BMK makes a pun out of the word Tāḷa bēku (ತಾಳ ಬೇಕು) implying the need for self restraint, tolerance or unhurriedness and the need for a rhythm. BMK’s tone suggests that these are required equally for both the performer and the listener.

Perhaps, this rendition could be a good example of Muraligānam in which the words metamorphosise into their intended meaning and intention of the original composer reaching the listeners to grasp the composition in its entirety.

The purpose of sharing this album on this platform is mainly for study and discussion in the realm of classical music.
