Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Dear Sriman Sadagopna swami, One small correction. He is not Tallapakkam, but Tallapaka. The opinions expressed by Sri Pappu are good but I dont think they are totally unbiased. dasan vishnu Tallapakkam Annamacharya (1408-1503) (?) was the earliest composers of Telugu kirtanas and also the trendsetter of the Bhajana Paddhati. He was the first ever composer to divide his' into Pallavi (refrain) and charanams (Stansas). He composed a phenomenal number of 32,000 songs, out of which 14,000 are available. They were all engraved in copper plates, and stored in a small room within the temple premises of Lord Venkateswara at Tirumalai. a.. -------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
