MuttusvAmi DIkShitar had occasion to listen to Western Music
when he came in contact with East India Company officials
and their English Musical band.  The stringed instrument,
violin, was introduced in  KarNATik music by his younger
brother BAlusvAmi DIkShitar, who was initiated to learn
European violin by the patron MaNali ChinnasvAmi MudaliAr.
With this influence, DIkShitar composed many  kRRitis under
the classification of ``NoTTu Svara SAhityam-s'', all in the
rAga sh~NkarAbharaNaM in different  tALa structures.  All these
are melodious, and some of them ``SantataM PAhi MAM Sa~NgIta
shyAmaLe" is a Marching Song, which can be sung in a chorus,
to the tune of ``God save the King''!.  These are simple songs
that can easily be learnt bu children and sung in a chorus.

In his book, ``prathamABhyAsa pustakamu'' (in Telugu), the
author, SubbarAma dIkShitar (grandson of BAlusvAmi dIkShitar,
the brother of muttusvAMi dIkShitar) has given 33 of these
NoTTu Svara SAhitam-s (Western melodies) with musical notations.

In his book, SubbarAma DIkShitar gives the following
introduction to these melodies

`` These are called jAti svaram-s. Gamakam-s do not occur
specifically in these NoTTu svaram-s. All these svara=-s are
(in) those of sha~NkarABharaNA rAgam.  They will be in tishra
gati, or caturashra gati.  In the sAhityam-s of NoTTu svaram-s,
although in some places, long text syllables have been provided
for short svara syllables, these long text syllables should be
contracted/abbreviated so as to fit the short svara syllables
and the sounds of the sAhityam-s should be sung as appropriate.
These svara sAhitya=-s are not only easy to sing and play on
the vINA, but are also charming and very useful to beginners
practising the first exercises."

One KRRiti, ``gurumUrtE'', is sometimes considered as a Nottu
Svara song, even though it is in the usual KRRiti format with
Pallavi, Anupallavi, CharaNam.  In addition, there are five
additional  Nottusvara Sahityam-s that are found in a small
book of Dr V. Raghavan, published by the Music Academy, Madras.
So, here we are giving the text of 39 Nottu Svara songs of
MuttusvAmi DIkShitar.  ##
