((new)) - Desh Thillana Notation

The Desh Thillana is a paradox. It is a heavily structured mathematical composition (Adi Tala demands geometric precision), yet it feels completely free, like a scarf blowing in the wind.

Note: In instrumental Thillanas, this is often played as a melodic line. In vocal Thillanas, rhythmic syllables like 'Na na na' or 'De na na' are used. desh thillana notation
