Can u explain little more bro... @guitarvijay regarding rare time signature reg of this song...

 

7/8 beat , 123..1234.

 

கண்ணாலே காதல் கவிதை.
பொன் வானம் பன்னீர் தூவுது

Ponvaanam panneer thoovudhu... Master piece..... The way he used miruthangam inbetween... 7/8

 

I am not an expert but from what I know:

7/8 Time Signature is very rarely used in Western Music. The most common Time Signature used in Indian and Western music is 4/4.
For this reason, this is also called as "Common Time" which is sometimes represented as "C" (instead of 4/4) in Sheet Music next to the Treble Clef symbol.

In Western Music, a particular type of music called "Math Rock" uses non-standard Time Signature such as - 5/4, 7/8, 11/8, 13/8.

In Indian Carnatic Music, 7/8 Time Signature is used occasionally in some taalams for example - the Triputa taalam and Misra Chapu taalam.

This 7/8 Time Signature can be of 3 different patterns:

Pattern #1: 2 + 2 + 3 Beats (12..12..123..)

Pattern #2: 3 + 2 + 2 Beats (123..12...12..)

Pattern #3: 2 + 3 + 2 Beats (12..123..12..)

These are some of the songs of Maestro in 7/8 Time Signature (including the 2 songs that Ravi has mentioned above).

All of them, fall under Pattern #2:

1. 1979 – En Kalyana Vaibogam – Azage Unnai Aradhikkiren
2. 1979 – Ayiram Malargale – Niram Maradha Pookkal
3. 1979 – Ninaithal Inikkum – Kalyanaraman
4. 1982 – Nadhiyil Adum Poovanam – Kadhal Oviyam
5. 1983 – Pon vanam – Indru Nee Nalai Naan
6. 1983 – Kalidhasan Kannadhasan– Soorakkottai Singakkutti
7. 1984 – Pottene Poo Vilangu – Poo Vilangu
8. 1985 – Venmegam Vinnil Indru – Nan Sigappu Manidhan
9. 1986 – Meendum Meendum Vaa – Vikram
10. 1986 – Manasu mayangum – Sippikul muthu
11. 1986 – Vaada Malliye – Kannukku Mai Ezhudhu
12. 1989 – Gangaikkarai – Varusham 16
13. 1988 – Yaarai Kettu Nee Dhan – En Uyir Kannamma
14. 1989 – Om Namaha – Geetanjali
15. 1989 – Paattale Buddhi Sonnar – Karakattakkaran
16. 1991 – Pottu Vaitha – Idhayam
17. 1991 – Thendral Kaatre – Kumbakkarai Thangaiah
18. 1992 – Ilanenje Vaa – Vanna Vanna Pookkal
19. 1993 – Kannale Kadhal Kavidhai – Aathma
20. 1993 – Anbe Vaa Arugile – Kili Pechu Ketka Vaa
21. 1995 – Veenaikku Veenai – Ellame En Rasathan
22. 2000 – Isaiyil Thodanguthamma – Hey Ram

Hope this helps.

Vijay
