Tyāgarāja (1767–1847). Born Tyāgabrahmam, the
primus inter pares of three S. Indian composers, the others being Muttusvami Dīkṣitar (1777–1835) and Śyāmā Śāstri (1762–1821). Tyāgarāja was a devotee of
Rāma, who resisted invitations to become a court musician—many of his compositions were spontaneous reactions to places of pilgrimage. He believed profoundly that music rested in the primordial creativity of sound (see
MANTRA), and that music combined with
bhakti would lead more directly to
mokṣa (release) than any other route, including
yoga.
