December Season 2000

December Season 2000 is a Carnatic vocal music album by Indian classical vocalist T. M. Krishna. The artist released the work in 2000 under the label Charsur Digital Workstation as part of the annual December music season in Chennai. The album adopts a digital media format and comprises twelve tracks that showcase traditional compositions in the Carnatic tradition.

The recording features Krishna as the primary vocalist, accompanied by instrumental support typical of Carnatic concerts. The tracklist includes kritis, ragam-tanam-pallavi segments, viruttams, and a tillana. Notable compositions on the album are Padavini in raga Bhairavi, Nee Vadane Gana in Kambhoji, and Varamulosaki in Kalyani. The performance also incorporates a detailed Ragam-Tanam-Pallavi in Madhyamavati, followed by a violin interlude. Other highlights include Tillai Chidambaram in Pantuvarali, Teliyaleru Rama in Reetigowla, and Ramakathasudha in Madhyamavati.

The album closes with a tillana in Khamas and a viruttam, Kara Charana Krtam Vaa - Jaya Jaya Shankara, set to an unspecified raga. The selection reflects a balance of devotional themes, technical exploration, and rhythmic variety. The release date aligns with the broader December Season festival, a period marked by a concentration of Carnatic music performances in Chennai.
