    A music composer is someone who plays with beats and turns out a piece of melody.

      The legendary composers have not only played with beats to develop these kritis but also have used various rhythmic concepts in their works...Their contribution to carnatic music is immeasurable...a sample is that concept of sangati( melodic variations on a line in the composition to beautify it )is the brainchild of Saint Thyagaraja (Reference : www.Carnatica.net)
