Book
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Contents:Vol.I 1. Tyagaraja. 2. Annamacharya. 3. Ramadasu. 4. Syama Sastry. 5. Patnam Subrahmania Iyer. 6. Mysore Vasudevacharya. 7. Dasu Sreeramulu. 8. Kshetrayya. From the Preface: "The present book Sangeeta Sudha -- English Translation of Carnatic Lyrics is an excellent work by Sri Dasu Damodara Rao, an ardent lover of Indian classical music. There are many books that contain compilation of the text of songs, but with out meaning and summary, they are of little use. This is due to the simple fact that the language becomes a barrier for the understanding and enjoyment of the sentiments embedded in the Saahitya. The book Sangeeta Sudha addresses the growing demands of everyone who wants to understand the meaning and appreciate the Saahitya-bhaava as the book contains not only a wonderful selection of songs of Sri Annamacharya, Bhadrachala Ramadasu, Kshetrayya, Saint Tyagaraja, Syama Sastry, Patnam Subrahmanya Iyer, Mysore Vasudevacharya and Dasu Sreeramulu, but also the line by line English translation and meaning which accurately portray the mood of the songs. The book is a valuable resource to all music lovers, students and teachers of Carnatic music and dance. This book is a worthy tribute to the great composers of Carnatic music tradition who significantly shaped the music and spiritual tradition of India." Contents:Vol. II. 1. Tyagaraja. 2. Deekshitar. 3. Syama Sastry. 4. Annamacharya. 5. Mysore Vasudevacharya. 6. Muthaiah Bhagavatar. 7. Sadasiva Brahmendra. 8. Dasu Sreeramulu. From the Preface: "South Indian Classical Music has been shaped by many saints for whom the main path for attaining salvation, or "Moksha", was devotional music. When they expressed devotion, or "bhakthi" through their compositions, they were practicing Nadopasana -- or "Nadha Upasana". The songs composed by them were their heartfelt, lyrical expression of bhakthi towards their favorite deities. It is our responsibility to learn and sing every one of these songs by maintaining their musical integrity, by being aware of the meaning and the larger significance of the Sahithya and by capturing the emotional content of the song. In "Sangeetha Sudha", Volume II, the author has added several more Keertanas of Tyagaraja, Deekshitar, Syama Sastry, Muthaiah Bhagavatar, Sadasiva Brahmendra and Annamacharya. This book invaluable gifts for ardent lovers of Carnatic music and a treasure trove for students of music.".
