TYAGARAJA (1767-1847) is the most influential composer of Carnatic Classical Music. While his magnificent compositions continue to be included in Carnatic performances of today, an appreciation of Tyagaraja is still very limited among children on account of the complexity of the works. This unique album is specially customized to aid the appreciation of Tyagaraja's magical compositions among young listeners in two ways - Maestro P. Unnikrishnan's renditions are simplified to make it possible for the children's chorus to sing along and the musical arrangements are deliberately made contemporary to inspire the young. In sum, it is a project devised to motivate young listeners to appreciate Tyagaraja's brilliant works and thereby understand the essence of Carnatic Music.
