16 Vayathinile is the soundtrack album for the 1977 film of the same name directed by Bharathiraja in his debut film and stars Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan and Sridevi in the lead roles. The soundtrack and background score for the film is composed by Ilaiyaraaja in his maiden collaboration with Bharathiraja and featured lyrics written by Kannadasan, Gangai Amaran and Alangudi Somu.[1] The album, released on EMI Records,[2] blends folk and Western classical music.[3]
Development[edit]
16 Vayathinile was Ilaiyaraaja's first collaboration with Kamal.[4] Bharathiraja insisted that Rajkannu meet Ilaiyaraaja, although Rajkannu doubted if Ilaiyaraaja would sign on since he had become well known after his debut film Annakili (1976). Ilaiyaraaja initially refused because of an earlier bet with Bharathiraja that Ilaiyaraaja's mentor, G. K. Venkatesh, would compose the music for Bharathiraja's first film. Venkatesh later insisted that Ilaiyaraaja compose the music.[5] Ilaiyaraaja, in an April 2015 interview with Maalai Malar, stated that lyricist Kannadasan accepted salaries ranging from ₹1,000 to ₹1,500, and he requested Kannadasan to accept ₹750 citing the film's budget constraints, to which Kannadasan agreed.[5]
Although Ilaiyaraaja wanted S. P. Balasubrahmanyam to sing "Chavanthi Poo" and "Aattukkutti", Balasubrahmanyam had pharyngitis at that time and was replaced by Malaysia Vasudevan.[6] The song "Aattukkutti" established Vasudevan's popularity.[2] "Chavanthi Poo", the first song recorded, was the first written by Kannadasan for the film.[6] Gangai Amaran made his debut as lyricist with "Chendoora Poove".[7] Ilaiyaraaja debuted as a singer with this film by singing "Solam Vidhaikkaiyile",[8][9] although it does not appear on the original soundtrack.[2]
According to film critic Baradwaj Rangan, it uses Viennese musical tropes.[10] B. Kolappan of The Hindu wrote that the song "employs a rush of violins to set up the intro for the folk melody that follows."[11] The term "Chendoora Poove", which refers to a flower, was coined by Amaran since there is no such flower by that name.[12]
The album was later remastered in DTS 5.1 six-channel audio by A. Muthusamy of Honey Bee Music in June 2013.[13]
