MSS - Range of Repertoire - Part 1

Here is a link to a debate on MSS' music that occurred during the Chennai December 2012 Music Season.

Kaatrin Kural Episode 8

where you can listen to participant Sindhuja's verbal waterfall listing of composers whose songs  were part of MSS' vast and varied repertoire.

Inspired by Sindhuja,  we are enclosing below a sample of MSS' repertoire, starting with Pre-Trinity Composers  and also sharing a few examples of the songs of each composer.

 
The multiple sources for this information include Sindhuja's comprehensive list in the above video, MSS discography compiled by Navaneet Venkatesan(a student of Smt Radha Viswanathan),  song lists in  MSS concerts on Sangeethapriya.org  website,  wikipedia sites including http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Carnatic_composers, the Compositions of  the Trinity and Svati Tirunaal books compiled and edited by Shri T.K. Govinda Rao ...

This is just a starter list that gives a glimpse into the range of  compositions that MSS has sung over multiple decades and does not come anywhere close to the complete repertoire of MSS.
