Event Description
Syama Sastry, one of the three that make up the Trinity of Carnatic music, has composed only 60 to 70 krithis, but these are replete with raga bhava and laya intricacies. These compositions depict a rich raga lakshana and serve as a benchmark for ragas like Todi, Dhanyasi, Anandabhsiravi, Saveri and so on. He has honed some rare ragas very beautifully. In this lecture-demonstration, we will try to understand how he has handled these ragas. The musicians will also delve into some of the laya intricacies that Sastry has commonly used. Some of the anecdotes linked with his compositions will also be dealt with.
