Telugu Music
Carnatic Music
Telugu is considered to be a language that always ends with vowels, thus giving it a superficial quality. It used to be considered most appropriate for musical expression. Among the trinity of the Carnatic music composers, Syama Sastri and Tyagaraja’s compositions were broadly in Telugu, whereas Muttuswami Dikshitar is very famous for his original Sanskrit texts.
Historical roots of The Carnatic and Hindustani classical Telugu music traditions originate from Bharata’s Natyashastra. Carnatic music is originally Kriti based and lyric or Saahitya oriented and has retained the traditional and cultural octave. This system displays great assimilative power and has a great influence.
