Piyaneni is a classic Sri Lankan pop song composed by the Sri Lankan musician, Clarence Wijewardena.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dailynews.lk/2009/08/05/art03.asp )〕 It is a tribute in song to the love of a father. Wijeywardena used the rhythmic pattern of the Bossa nova for 'Piyaneni'. In the 1960s Clarence Wijewardena was mentored by the pioneer Radio Ceylon broadcaster, Vernon Corea who helped him to reach the pinnacle of fame in the music world in Sri Lanka. Vernon Corea also played the music of Clarence Wijewardena, Annesley Malewana and the Moonstones not only on his radio programmes on Radio Ceylon but also on his popular programme 'London Sounds Eastern', on BBC Radio London in the late 1970s. He was invited by Clarence to write on a 1970s Lotus LP sleeve. Vernon Corea wrote: "We have all shared the treat of your lovely Lyrics, your tuneful compositions, your friendly presentation and your spontaneous sense of sharing with your followers, your treasury of talent. Keep going, keep growing, keep glowing".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://sundaytimes.lk/971221/plus8.html )〕 In the early 1970s Clarence Wijewardena composed 'Piyaneni' as a tribute to Reverend Canon Ivan Corea, the father of Radio Ceylon/BBC broadcaster Vernon Corea and Ambassador Ernest Corea. Reverend Ivan Corea was a much loved priest who worked for the poor on the island. He had helped the poorest of the poor - the Rodiya Community in Sri Lanka. Clarence Wijewardena had visited Vernon Corea's residence in Maha Nuge Gardens in Colombo in the 1960s and met Reverend Corea prior to his death in 1968.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://vernoncorea.wordpress.com/2010/11/30/piyaneni-on-YouTube/ )〕 'Piyaneni' went on to become a hit in South Asia.
