Possibly this started because of the musical trinity of Thivaiyaru and due to the excellence of their compositions. Most popular classical carnatic songs sung are either composed in Telugu or in Sanskrit. I am again having a very good working knowledge of Kannada but I am mostly confining myself to songs which are simple and easy to understand. In the modern times several people have taken up the job of composing these songs. He was followed by the minstrels of God called Dasas in composition of this type of music till recently. Apart from songs on devotion, he has also sung about the different aspects of day to day life. His greatness is indicated by the fact that even today his method is followed and the first Carnatic song which is taught to the student is his composition. He was the one who systematized the teaching of Carnatic music. Some incidents in life made him give away all his property and become a minstrel mendicant. His name was Srinivasa Nayaka and he belonged to the rich merchant community. He is credited to have written more than 40000 songs. Since he was one of those minstrel poets of that era, trying to popularize devotion to God, he mostly wrote in colloquial Kannada of those days. He belonged to Karnataka and wrote his songs mostly in Kanada. Purandara Dasa (1484-1564) is possibly one of the greatest names associated with Carnatic music and considered as the Father of Carnatic music. Though there are several Vaggeya Karas the most prominent among them is Purandara Dasa. I have a working knowledge of Telugu and have perforce consulted other translations.Īs the name of the classical music of South India suggests, it might have originated in the Kannada speaking places. Most of my translations from Telugu are the compositions of Thyagaraja. The greatest pioneering Vaggeyakaras (people who wrote lyrics to suit this music) are Saint Thayagaraja, Saint Annamacharya and Shyama Shastri. Possibly this is because Telugu with all its words ending in vowels is most suited to this type of music. The most popular in these are Krithis (compositions) written in Telugu. These are written in Sanskrit as well as all the South Indian Languages viz., Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. The classical music of South India is known as Carnatic Music. I humbly request readers to point out these to me, So that I can correct them. There is a possibility of errors in translation also. There is a possibility of typographical errors. Most of the lyrics have been taken from different web sites.
