Thyagaraja, Muthuswamy Dikshitar and Syama Sastri are regarded as the carnatic music Trinity. All three of them were born in Thiruvarur, and were carnatic music composers, but their music, lyrics and favourite God were distinctively different. Saint Thyagaraja in particular, wrote about, sang and worshipped Lord Rama in the language Telugu. Out of ...
The Thyagaraja Aradhana festival held at Thiruvaiyyaru every year on his death anniversary is a tribute to the genius works of Saint Thyagaraja. On the day of “bahula panchami” (the day when he left his mortal self), musicians from all over sing/play his Pancharatna krithis along with few other compositions in unison. But what are these Pancharathn...
Pancharathnam literally means “five gems”, in this case, precious gem of a composition of Thyagaraja. When we talk about Pancharathnams, most with Carnatic Music awareness attribute it to the archetype, Ghana Raga Pancharatnam, but in fact there are five such groups of compositions. The first four pancharatnams have Pallavi-Anupallavi-Charanam or P...
Before understanding the Ghana Raga Pancharatnam, let us first look into what a Ghana raga is – it is not just a heavy (gamaka filled) raga as the name implies. Among types of ragas (such as Ghana, Naya, Desi), Ghana raga is characterised by its grandeur and majesty; it is used at the beginning of concerts. The ten Ghana ragas are: Nattai, Gowlai, ...
The other four pancharatnams were composed during specific visits to specific Kshetras – they have at least that much in common. However, we don’t know if Thyagaraja composed the ghana raga compositions with the categorizing in mind. Below is a list of what I presume are the characteristics of each Ghana Raga Pancharatna Krithi for having been grou...
It is safe to assume that the grandson and various disciples of Thyagaraja would have been performing the Aradhana as a simple musical tribute on his death anniversary since his demise on 6th Jan 1847, as this year is the 173rd Aradhana. Then the disciples seem to have split and continued doing separate tributes to the guru. There is one story that...
Usually, a Thyagaraja Pancharathnam event starts with a prayer to Lord Ganesha, “Sriganapathi nee sevimparare” in ragam Sourashtram, followed by a song for the teacher “Gurulekha etuvanti” in ragam Gowri Manohari. This is followed by the gana raga pancharathnams, viz., 1. Jagadhanandha karaka – Hail the one who brings happiness to this world 2. Dhu...
As it was not feasible for every musician in the world to both go and sing at the same venue on the same day, and still out of love for Thyagaraja’s music, people from various regions started conducting their own aradhanas for Thyagu, preferably around the same period. To name a few – Cleveland Aradhana, Stree Thyagaraja Pancharatnam, Chennaiyil Th...
That is how we also started. When we were out of Chennai, and not connected to the musical frenzy here, we decided to call friends who share the same interest and sit at home and sing. This started happening every year and we started getting audience as well. But when we moved to a town (more like a big village) and conducted the aradhana there, mo...
Sri Thyagaraja Swamy Keerthanaigal by T.S.ParthasarathyWikipediaMuthuswami Dikshitar (March 24, 1775 – October 21, 1835) was a South Indian poet and composer and is one of the musical trinity of carnatic music. He is referred to as a composer of composers and as a Bhakta to whom music and words came unbidden to result in exquisitely woven and intricately contrived webs of compositions.
