  • Comparative Analysis of the Melody in the Kṛti Śhri
    Comparative analysis of the melody in the Kṛti Śri Mahāgaṇapatiravatumām with references to Saṅgīta Sampradāya Pradarśini of Subbarāma Dīkṣitar and Dīkṣita Kīrtana Mālā of A. Sundaram Ayyar Pradeesh Balan PhD-JRF Scholar (full-time) Department of Music Queen Mary‟s College Chennai – 600 004 Introduction: One of the indelible aspects of music when it comes to passing on to posterity is the variations in renditions, mainly since the sources contain not only texts of songs and notations but also an oral inheritance. This can be broadly witnessed in the compositions of the composers of Carnatic Music. Variations generally occur in the text of the song, rāga, tāḷa, arrangement of the words within the tāḷa cycle and melodic framework, graha, melodic phrases and musical prosody1. The scholars who have written and published on Muttusvāmi Dīkṣitar and his accounts are named in chronological order as follows: Subbarāma Dīkṣitar Kallidaikuricci Ananta Krishṇa Ayyar Natarāja Sundaram Pillai T. L. Venkatarāma Ayyar Dr. V. Rāghavan A. Sundaram Ayyar R. Rangarāmānuja Ayyengār Prof. P. Sāmbamūrthy Dr. N.

Anantakṛṣṇayyar (well known as Calcutta Anantakṛṣṇa Ayyar) and A. Sundaram Ayyar (of Mayilāpūr), has been instrumental in learning the compositions of Dīkṣitar from Śri Ambi Dīkṣita, son of Subbarāma Dīkṣita and propagating them to the next generation2. Dr. V. Rāghavan (pp. 76-92), in his book Muttuswāmi Dīkṣitar gives an index of Dīkṣitar‟s compositions which is forked in two sections. The former section illustrates the list of kṛti-s as notated in Saṅgīta Sampradāya Pradarśini of Subbarāma Dīkṣitar while the other one lists almost an equal number of another set 1 Rāmanāthan N.

  • Carnatic Music
    Carnatic Music drishtiias.com/printpdf/carnatic-music Why in News? Recently, S. Sowmya was conferred with Sangita Kalanidhi Award for her contribution to Carnatic music. Origin of Carnatic Music Carnatic music owes its name to the Sanskrit term Karnâtaka Sangîtam which denotes “traditional” or “codified” music. Composed of a system of Ragam (Raga) and Thalam (Tala), it has a rich history and tradition. Carnatic Sangeet has developed in the south Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. These states are known for their strong presentation of Dravidian culture. Renaissance of Carnatic Music The course of the evolution of Indian music saw the emergence of two different subsystems as Hindustani and Carnatic music. Both the terms emerged for the first time in Haripala’s “Sangeeta Sudhakara”, written in the 14th century A.D. The two distinct styles, Hindustani and Carnatic came into vogue after the advent of the Muslims, particularly during the reign of the Mughal Emperors. Purandardas (1484-1564), a prolific poet-composer and mystic of Vijayanagar, is considered to be the father of Carnatic music (Carnatic Sangeeta Pitamaha). Venkatamakhi is regarded as the grand theorist of Carnatic music. In 17 th century AD, he developed “Melakarta”, the system for classifying south Indian ragas. There are 72 Melakartas at present. Tyagaraja (1767-1847), his contemporaries Syama Sastri and Muttusvami Dikshitar are together known as the “Trinity” of Carnatic music. 1/2 Musical forms of Carnatic Music Gitam: It is the simplest type of composition with an easy and melodious flow of raga. Suladi: The Suladi is a talamalika, the sections being in different talas.

  • Carnatic Music Sri Kamalamba Jayati in Ahiri, a Dikshitar?S Masterpiece
    Carnatic Darbar - Carnatic Music - Sri Kamalamba Jayati in Ahiri, a Dikshitar?s masterpiece Page 1 of 1 Carnatic Music Sri Kamalamba Jayati in Ahiri, a Dikshitar?s masterpiece By Vidya Subramanian - www.vidyasubramanian.com Each of the Kamalamba Navavarana kritis of Shri Muthuswami Dikshitar is a masterpiece in its own right. This article attempts to highlight some unique attributes of the 9th avarana kriti, Sri Kamalamba Jayati, in Raagam Ahiri and set to Rupaka talam. Shri Dikshitar begins the pallavi with the words ``Sri Kamalamba Jayati’’ (“Hail Goddess Kamalamba!”). Shri Dikshitar, being a follower of the Srividya mode of worship, describes different aspects of the Mother Goddess in the Navavarana kritis. The Srichakra consists of geometrical diagrams and is believed to have great esoteric significance. This kriti is dedicated to the aspect of the Goddess that is seated in the Sarvananda maya chakra i.e. the wheel that symbolizes complete bliss. In the Anupallavi, he describes the Goddess as “Sarvananda maya chakra vaasini”. Sanskrit language employs eight cases of declension of a noun and the first 8 kritis in the group are in each of these 8 cases. So, what did the veritable Shri Dikshitar do with the 9th kriti? He employed all the 8 cases in the 9th kriti, thereby making it a truly remarkable piece! Another interesting aspect of this piece is the lyrical variations to the pallavi, all ending with the refrain, “Sri Kamalamba Jayati”. This is akin to the concept of sangatis or melodic progressions that are common in many kritis. But here, Shri Dikshitar uses adjectives such as “Jagadamba” (Mother of the World) and “Sringara rasa kadamba” (embodiment of love as an emotion).

  • Jatiswara and Swarajatis
    Jathiswaras and Swarajathis Module II Carnatic Classical Music 5 Notes Jatiswara and Swarajatis his musical form belongs to both abhyasa gana and Sabha gana. Though the swarajatis which appear in abhyasa gana are very simple for Tbeginners, the advanced swarajatis of composers like Syamasastri and Ponniah Pillai are very difficult for even a seasoned musician. This musical form has got the sections like Pallavi, Anupallavi and Charana. Several swarajatis are composed with multiple charanas in which the sahitya will be followed by its swaras. While the swarajatis in Bilahari and Khamas give an idea of the raga to a beginner, the swarajatis of Syamasastri in Bhairavi, Yadukula kamboji and Todi are the epitome of those ragas. Jatiswaram is a musical form which belongs to abhyasa ganam. This is taught after geetas. As the name suggests, jatiswaram has only swaras and no sahitya (lyrics). The composition has pallavi and a number of charanas. Since it has only swaras, it is also known as swarapallavi. Jatiswaram is mainly performed in Bharat natyam dance concerts. The dancer begins the item with a jati passage and then move on to the composition. OBJECTIVES After practising this lesson, the learner will be able to: z state swarastanas perfectly; z write the patterns of Pallavi, Anupallavi and Charanam; z raise knowledge of different rhythm patterns; z define Jatiswara form.
