त्यागराज प्रसिद्ध संगीतज्ञ थे। वे 'कर्नाटक संगीत' के महान् ज्ञाता तथा भक्तिमार्ग के कवि थे। इन्होंने भगवान श्रीराम को समर्पित भक्ति गीतों की रचना की थी। उनके सर्वश्रेष्ठ गीत अक्सर धार्मिक आयोजनों में गाए जाते हैं। त्यागराज ने समाज एवं साहित्य के साथ-साथ कला को भी समृद्ध किया था। उनकी विद्वता उनकी हर कृति में झलकती है, हालांकि 'पंचरत्न' कृति को उनकी सर्वश्रेष्ठ रचना कहा जाता है। त्यागराज के जीवन का कोई भी पल श्रीराम से जुदा नहीं था। वह अपनी कृतियों में भगवान राम को मित्र, मालिक, पिता और सहायक बताते थे।
