They accompany the singer, yes, and play some extended sections but what I like about Ilayaraja's style is there is a great degree of interdependence between the voice and the instrument. When Karthik is singing the lines, "thalli thalli ponaalum...", the oboe interjections depend heavily on the singer singing his portion properly. There is absolutely no break between the singing portion and the oboe interjections and yet, they are not playing simultaneously but one after the other. It is possibly influenced by baroque era music, when orchestras were somewhat smaller and there was more emphasis on such tight co-ordination and dialogue. You can hear this kind of approach in jazz and rock music but they rarely use such a wide array of instruments as Ilayaraja.

Like the saxophone (or is it oboe) interjections in the charanam of the song. Ilayaraja is a master of injecting spontaneity in orchestral music, a quality not normally associated with Western classical, which is rigidly scored and performed.
