Andhra
Pradesh has been known since ages for its rich musical
heritage. The state is also known for being the homeland of
Thyagaraja, Shyama Sastri and Muthuswami Dixitar - the three
prodigies of the Carnatic Music Trinity. The ubiquitous
Telugu language of Andhra makes the true essence and spirit
of Carnatic music. Annamacharya, Kshetrayya, and Bhadrachala
Ramadasa are some of the great composers of Carnatic music.
The divine Carnatic music is said to have instigated from
the Gods.
In fact, folk music also has been originated from Carnatic
music. This great art is taught and learnt by means of
compositions that encode various intricate |
 |
details of music. Perhaps each
music composition has a different rendition. The musical
element and 'what is suggested' in the piece of music are
the two essentials of a perfect Carnatic composition. Other
fact about Carnatic music is that each composition reveals
the knowledge and persona of the composer, thus the language
is as significant as the musical element itself.
In the field of instrumental music, Andhra Pradesh is not
afar and has produced legends like Dwaram Venkatasami Naidu
(Violin), Srinivas (Mandolin), Chittibabu (Veena) and Eemani
Sankara Sastri (Veena). The eminent personalities of vocal
music from the state are Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna,
Nedunuri Krishnamurthy, Srirangam Gopalaratnam, Sarangapani
and Nookala Chinna Satyanarayana. The percussion instrument
of Mridangam has reached new heights owing to Yella
Venkatesara Rao.
