After the Trinity period propagation of spirituality through music continued with the efforts of the Post-Trinity Composers, prominent among them being PATNAM SUBRAMANYAIYER, whose work is the subject of this book. Patnam Subramanyam Iyer followed the footsteps of Tyagaraja, he followed the great saint in the flow of Dhatu, Matu and structural format and also in the language chosen as medium i.e. Telugu though his mother-tongue was Tamil. He was therefore aptly called "China Tyagaraja". Among the Post-Trinity Composers, he is a beacon light. Though known to be a traditionalist, he was good at innovations too. Some of his compositions such as "Raghuvamsa Sudha" in the raga Kathanakuthuhalam which resembles Western music, are very popular even today.
