Meenakshi – Shree – Geetam

Shri Chitravina N Ravikiran teaches the expansive geetam, “Meenakshi jaya kamakshi” in the raga Shree, set to Chaturashra Dhruva talam. He begins with an outline of the raga and follows up with the melody and lyrics of the composition. This geetam is a must-learn piece since it lays a strong foundation for students, which will enable them to interpret masterpieces like Tyagaraja’s Endaro mahanubhavulu or Dikshitar’s Shree Varalakshmi and Shree Kamalambike more easily.

Students may also buy and download the book, “Perfecting Carnatic Music – Level I” to obtain the notation for this and many other exquisite pieces.
