Tyagaraja
The most sung of the Trinity. Tyagaraja poured a life of Rama-bhakti into hundreds of krithis whose melodic architecture - especially the sangati, the evolving repeat - shaped the modern concert style. His five Pancharatna krithis are sung together every year at his Thiruvaiyaru aradhana.
