Ramesh - good one. I second that ARR missed an golden opportunity to utilize a large orchestral work - it is indeed sad when people question if swagatham composed by our ARR worth $1million price tag? the magic in swagatham works for me now... but ARR could have gone for large orchestra and made it really very grand. I guess, I will wait for that day...

Here's Delta Goodrem singing Together We Are One Each host nation has a different interpretation of what they want in the theme song for CWG. They all don't have to be fast-paced and anthem-like. It depends on what the GoI or IOC wanted ARR to showcase in the song. Judge it based on the context. I had hoped to see a larger contribution from ARR towards the music of the CWG. It really was an opportunity to do a large orchestral work were he to score the Opening Ceremony. Score fans should seek out the cd to the 2006 CWG Opening Ceremony. It contains music by Australian composer Christopher Gordon and is nothing short of fantastic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_Games:_Melbourne_2006_Opening_Ceremony And if you want more Gordon goodness- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF7SD-JbXwU ________________________________ From: Gopal Srinivasan <catchg...@gmail.com> To: arrahmanfans <arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sun, August 29, 2010 7:07:31 PM Subject: [arr] Jai Ho pulse missing from Rahman's Games Hey-O http://epaper.mailtoday.in/3082010/epaperimages/3082010/3082010-md-hr-19/124848578.jpg
