Course Description

Krithis are the most important and popular compositional structures in Carnatic Music. Kritis, with their distinct structure of Pallavi, Anupallavi, and Charanam are at the heart of this course. Now, the magic lies in ‘Sangatis’ ! Think of them as musical spices, adding delightful variations to the composition's baseline, creating a vibrant musical tapestry. In this course, students get to learn two Krithis namely, "Shobillu Saptaswara" and "Brova Bharama."
