  • Gagaku: The Court Music of Japan allows the viewer to experience the haunting sounds of the Japanese court orchestra and to see the magnificent costumes and masks of its stately dances. Host for the program is Dr. William P. Malm, Professor of Ethnomusicology at the University of Michigan, who introduces the instruments of gagaku and the musicians who play them. Also featured in the program is Suenobu Togi, Gagaku Master at UCLA and Dr. Sidney Brown, Professor of Asian Studies of the University of Oklahoma, who explains the historic roots of gagaku. Performances by the Imperial Court Orchestra in Tokyo illustrate the contrasting styles of gagaku. NB: I do not own the rights to this video, and I will remove it upon request from those who hold the copyright. I am trying to make an out-of-print educational resource available to students.

    The original gagaku that was played in Japan during the Heian period was a bit faster and "harmonic". A University in Kyoto has accurately recreated the sounds of that era, it shows its Tang dynasty Chinese origins:
    th-cam.com/video/XYpfBDcHJJg/w-d-xo.html
    th-cam.com/video/o57bwujPqho/w-d-xo.html
    Gagaku had changed to be more tense sounding as it became more ritualised during the militaristic sengoku and edo periods after the Heian period.
    Korean A-Ak better preserves the ensemble and melodious sound of the ancient Tang Dynasty Yayue music than Japanese Gagaku does.

    Anyone know where I can get Gagaku instruments such as the Sho for a CHEAP price. I don't want a 1000 USD instrument that I won't be able to afford no matter how much money I make.

    • @KamiNoEka
      @KamiNoEka 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The sho is a delicate instrument. It must be be made from real materials (that is, not PVC) and put together by a talented craftsman. Unfortunately, 1000 dollars is cheap for a sho. If you would like to try learning gagaku, I recommend starting with the ryuteki. A student's ryuteki (made form PVC) is only about 50 dollars and doesn't require special care. The hichiriki is also about 50 dollars. But the reed must be replaced sometimes, which is probably a little troublesome if you don't live in Japan.

    • @juliancillopillo
      @juliancillopillo 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      There's Saibara, a vocal genre in which the wind and string sections play along with a choir. Some characteristics of the genre is the lack of Aitake chords from the shō players and the only percussion instrument employed is the shakubyoshi: a pair of claps played by the lead singer. Roei is another genre in which ancient texts are singed employing known melodies of the instrumental repertoire because the original melodies are lost.
