Teliyaleru Rama

Teliyaleru Rama is a Carnatic vocal composition performed by T. M. Krishna as the opening track of his 2009 album released under the December Season 2008 series. The recording appeared on CD through Charsur Digital Workstation, a label known for archiving live and studio performances in the Indian classical tradition.

The track spans 9 minutes and 25 seconds and occupies the first position in the release sequence. Krishna renders the piece in the kritis format, a structured form of Carnatic music that combines lyrical poetry with intricate melodic development. The composition’s textual and musical treatment aligns with classical conventions, though specific raga or tala details remain undocumented in the provided context.

The album emerged from Krishna’s participation in the December Music Season, an annual cultural event in Chennai that showcases performances by leading exponents of Carnatic music. While the release year is marked as 2009, the recording itself derives from the preceding year’s season. The label’s production preserves the acoustic qualities of the live or studio session, though no additional information confirms the exact performance venue or accompanying artists.

Charsur Digital Workstation distributed the work as part of its catalog dedicated to classical Indian music, targeting audiences engaged with traditional and contemporary interpretations of the genre. The track exemplifies Krishna’s interpretive approach to Carnatic repertoire, characterized by vocal precision and adherence to the gayaki style. Further details about the composition’s lyrical content, composer attribution, or thematic focus are not specified in the available sources.
