Abstract

Rāga is the essence of Indian music.Compositions are sources to understand rāga.The musical trinity Tyāgarāja, Muḍḍusvāmi Dikṣita and Syāma sāstri brought to light many new rāga-s and gave them life through their compositions.Like Thanjavur, Mysore also flourished with great composers, especially in the 19 th and 20 th centuries.Sri H.Yoganarasimham was one of the great composers from Mysore who was a scholar in both music and sanskrit.His compositions are testament to his vast knowledge of various aspects of music.This article will focus on four rare rāga-s handled by H.Yoganarasimham from the published work Gītakusumāñjali.
