The name of the great singer composer MMDandapani desikar is missing. Has it been already discussed? I just now thought of him after reading the review of Sanjay's performance of MMD's songs. While alive , he was treated shabbily by AIR, by not classifying him as a top gradeartist fit to perform in the national programme of saturday nights It was rumoured that the audition committee certified him as 'fit for light music only' gobilalitha

Lakshman Sir / Anyone else:
1. Is there a compilation of compositions by Tanjore Quartet? If so, are commerical recordings of the same, available?
2. Also, I heard that some of the compositions of MahArAjA SwAti TirunAL could possibly be actually composed by Vadivelu of the quartet. Is this true? If so, which ones?
Thanks.

There are many compositions that are not specifically attributed to the individual brothers. I do have a list of these. Even here there are some disputed ones.
Some have claimed that a few compositions credited to Svati Tirunal were actually the work of the Tanjavur Quartette. I am not sure which ones they are.

Re: More composers Mangalam Ganapathi
“Smt.Mangalam Ganapathy, an ordinary housewife with no formal training in music and proficiency in any language, at the age of 64 years, was suddenly bestowed by divine grace, with powers to create compositions of the highest order in classical mould in carnatic music.
What is amazing is her ability to write, the lyrics set to a particular raga, tala on any one of the hundreds of the Godheads of the Hindu pantheon and that too in one of the five languages all at the same time.
The genre of carnatic music she has covered in her compositions ranges from varnam, krithis, ragamalikas, thillanas, devotional bhajans etc.
You can visit the site at
http://www.mangalamganapathy.com/
There are 19 audio songs for which links are given below:

There is another (in my opinion)unrecognised commposer, late sri P.K Rajaopala Iyer, a student of Sri tiger Varadachariar who not only created two new ragas Ananda valli an karpoora barani. but also created numerous varnams and keerthnas, including a string of songs totalling 65 on the 65 th birthday of Pooja sri Chandrasekarendra Sarasathi and rendered them in his presence inKanchipuram along with his students

In the pallavi, should it not be jaladhi taraNA and not dharaNA?

Re: More composers
In the anupallavi, shouldn't it be adhOkshaja (meaning vishNu/kRshNa), and not agOkshaja. Not sure what agokshaja means....
