Sri Tyagaraja, Sri Shyama Shastry and Sri Muthuswami Dikshitar are considered the trinity of carnatic music and with them came the golden age in carnatic music in the 18th-19th century. Purandara Dasa is considered the father of carnatic music. There are about 7.2 million ragas (or scales) in Carnatic Music, with around 300 still in use today. The main emphasis is on the vocals as most compositions are written to be sung, and even when played on instruments, they are meant to be performed in a singing style (known as gāyaki). It consists of a composition with improvised embellishments added to the piece in the forms of Raga Alapana, Kalpanaswaram, Neraval, and, in the case of more advanced students, Ragam Tanam Pallavi. It is one of the oldest musical forms that continue to survive today.Ĭarnatic music is melodic, with improvised variations. However, the form itself is reputed to have been one of the gifts bestowed on man by the gods of Hindu mythology. The present form of Carnatic music is based on historical developments that can be traced to the 15th - 16th centuries AD and thereafter.
