In the case of Annamaiah, most of the songs have been set to tune only very recently (60s ?) by Venkataraman (all those popular songs sung by MS). So may be it won't be as big a crime, if Rahman does tune them differently.

I hope Rahman doesnt change the original tune of the compositions or the melody. because no composer should change the traditional krithis. it will invite the wrath of many people and also marks disrespect to the original composer (Saint Annamaacharya). At the best, he can only embellish with background music...like he did for "Vandemataram-Revival" in his album vandemataram.. I hope this message reaches him Regards Aakarsh. *Adi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>* wrote: http://www.greatandhra.com/movies/news/mar2007/reha_music.php Tirupati: Tirumala-Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) wants to rope in composer A R Rehman to give music to the famous Annamacharya kirtans. Rehman would be the ambassador to popularise the kirtans among the youth. "So we are planning to give the Rehman touch to at least some of the kirtans so that it would have an impact on the youth," said officiating director of project Bhuman Subramanyam Reddy Saint poet Annamacharya had composed nearly 32,000 songs in praise of the Lord of which only 12,000 are available. TTD would be observing the 504th death anniversary of Annamacharya from March 15 to 22. A spiritual-cultural event has been arranged at Tallapaka, the birth place of the poet in Kadapa district, where nearly 1000 students from Annamacharya Engineering College would take part in a community devotional singing programme.
