When composing music for a Mani Ratnam film, composer AR Rahman sends melody elements that reflect feelings...like love, passion and so on, to Ratnam for his approval. When asked how he decides that Ratnam will like a particular tune, AR says, “It's not about him liking a tune. When I compose something, I have to like it first. I have be proud of it and feel, ‘Ah, this is beautiful’ or ‘This chord progression is nice’... If it emotionally moves me, then I am sure he will like it as well.”
And that tells me a lot about what great work is all about!
