The Music Academy released an English translation of U. Ve. Swaminatha Iyer's musical writings, titled 'Musical Writings of U. Ve. Sa.' Justice Prabha Sridevan translated the collection of 18 articles, which includes pieces on musicians Ghanam Krishna Iyer, Gopalakrishna Bharathi, and Maha Vaidyanatha Sivan. Sridevan noted the translation required eight months due to the ancient Tamil and specialized terminology used by Iyer, who was known as 'Tamil Thatha'.
