It is performed at banquets and ceremonies in the Imperial Palace and in theatres throughout the country, and encompasses three distinct arts.

I've always had a huge fascination for Japan, especially its ancient culture, but I've always had difficulty finding a musical repertoire dating back to before the Edo period. Finally I came across this wonderful record from 1990 dedicated to the ancient Japanese music, and I discovered the existence of Gagaku: an extremely beautiful, meditative and interesting court music.
The term gagaku nowadays refers to the traditional music and dance performed by the Music Department of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, as well as by ensembles associated with certain Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Originally, the term gagaku (va yueh ...

"This record presents recordings of Gagaku, the oldest form of harmonic music existing in the world today. The term Gagaku signifies "music which is refined, noble and just" compared with folk music considered as vulgar or primitive. However this designation does not apply to music which is exactly the same in the three countries where Gagaku exists (in China, pronounced Yà Yuè ; in Korea, a-ak ; and in Japan, Gagaku), but rather to music which has two common functions, ritual and profane. Thus in adapting to the aesthetic needs of each country, these three forms of Gagaku have evolved to a point that their common origin is no longer recognizable. In Jap...

Within the royal courts in Asian countries including Japan, a great variety of the performing arts have developed from ancient times: As religious events, or to show hospitality to visiting foreign delegates, or even for the amusement of the courtiers. The performing arts that evolved in the Japanese Imperial Courts comprise Gagaku, which developed around Kyoto, and those of the Ryukyu Kingdom, which was in the current Okinawa Prefecture. Both forms of the arts are being performed today.
Both of these performing arts originated and...

Description: Gagaku, characterized by long, slow songs and dance-like movements, is the oldest of the Japanese traditional performing arts. It is performed at banquets and ceremonies in the Imperial Palace and in theatres throughout the country, and encompasses three distinct arts. The first, Kuniburi no Utamai, features ancient Japanese songs, partial accompaniment by harp and flute and simple choreography. The second consists of instrumental music (especially wind instruments) and a ceremonial dance developed on the Asian continent and subsequently adapted by Japanese artists. The third, Utamono, is danced to vocal music whose texts include Japanese folk songs and Chinese poems. Influenced by the politics and culture of different periods over its long evolution, Gagaku continues to be transmitted to apprentices by masters in the Music Department of the Imperial Household Agency, many of whom are the descendants of families with deep roots in the art. It is not only an important cultural tool in confirming Japanese identity and a crystallization of the history of Japanese society, but also a demonstration of how multiple cultural traditions can be fused into a unique heritage through constant recreation over time.

I've always had a huge fascination for Japan, especially its ancient culture, but I've always had difficulty finding a musical repertoire dating back to before the Edo period. Finally I came across this wonderful record from 1990 dedicated to the ancient Japanese music, and I discovered the existence of Gagaku: an extremely beautiful, meditative and interesting court music.
The term gagaku nowadays refers to the traditional music and dance performed by the Music Department of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, as well as by ensembles associated with certain Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Originally, the term gagaku (va yueh in Chinese) referred to the Confucian ceremonial music of the Chinese court; by the time Japanese musicians came in contact with Chinese music in the seventh century AD, however the meaning of the term had widened to embrace a number of Buddhist and secular music that had been imported into China from all over the Asian continent, including musics from numerous city-states along the Silk Road from Persia and from India. The present day repertory of gagaku performed by musicians at the Japanese court may be divided into three categories. The first category of pieces, believed to be of indigenous Japanese origin, comprises the repertories of mikagura, azuma asobi, yamatomai, outa and kumemai. The second category is made up of pieces imported into Japan from the Asian mainland between the seventh and ninth centuries and comprises the repertories of tögaku and komagaku. Tögaku is a body of pieces imported to Japan by Japanese musicians who visited China during the Tang period (618--907). Komagaku comprises pieces from the Korean kingdoms of Silla, Paekche and Koguryo; the importation of the komagaku repertory probably predates that of tögaku. This recording includes
examples from the first category (azuma asobi is an indigenous song type from eastern Japan) as well as examples of both genres in the second category, namely togaku and komagaku. The third category (not represented on this recording) is made up of pieces composed during the Heian period (794-1185) and includes the accompanied vocal repertories of saibara and röei. When tögaku and komagaku are performed for dance they are known as bugaku. Bugaku is divided into Dances of the Left (samai), which are performed to the music of togaku, and Dances of the Right (umai), which are
performed to the music of komagaku. Tögaku is also performed without dance and is then referred to as kangen . This recording includes two pieces ("Etenraku", "Seigaiha"') performed in the kangen style; and two in the bugaku style, one of which (" Kishunraku") is a Dance of the Left and the other ("'Kitoku"') a Dance of the Right. Azuma asobi are performed for a number of Shinto festivals and ceremonies such as that which occurs during Kyoto's Aoi festival at the Kamö shrine. After the singers and instrumentalists have entered, they line up facing the shrine and perform the song for the entertainment of the shrine god. Although thought of as predating tögaku and komagaku, azuma asobi was in fact reconstructed in the early nineteenth century. This recording includes one example of azuma asobi ("Motomeko no Uta'').
Concerning the video: I used the images of the masterpiece "Genji Monogatari", literally: "the story of Genji", a wonderful novel by the 11th century woman writer Murasaki Shikibu. The novel has been translated into various languages and is a highly recommended read. The images featured in the video come from the oldest papyrus roll dating back to the 12th century, therefore closest to the writer's original work.
I wish you happy listening!

Finally I came across this wonderful record from 1990 dedicated to the ancient Japanese music, and I discovered the existence of Gagaku: an extremely beautiful, meditative and interesting court music.
The term gagaku nowadays refers to the traditional music and dance performed by the Music Department of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, as well as by ensembles associated with certain Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Originally, the term gagaku (va yueh in Chinese) referred to the Confucian ceremonial music of the Chinese court; by the time Japanese musicians came in contact with Chinese music in the seventh century AD, however the meaning of the term had widened to embrace a number of Buddhist and secular music that had been imported into China from all over the Asian continent, including musics from numerous city-states along the Silk Road from Persia and from India. The present day repertory of gagaku performed by musicians at the Japanese court may be divided into three categories. The first category of pieces, believed to be of indigenous Japanese origin, comprises the repertories of mikagura, azuma asobi, yamatomai, outa and kumemai. The second category is made up of pieces imported into Japan from the Asian mainland between the seventh and ninth centuries and comprises the repertories of tögaku and komagaku. Tögaku is a body of pieces imported to Japan by Japanese musicians who visited China during the Tang period (618--907). Komagaku comprises pieces from the Korean kingdoms of Silla, Paekche and Koguryo; the importation of the komagaku repertory probably predates that of tögaku. This recording includes
examples from the first category (azuma asobi is an indigenous song type from eastern Japan) as well as examples of both genres in the second category, namely togaku and komagaku. The third category (not represented on this recording) is made up of pieces composed during the Heian period (794-1185) and includes the accompanied vocal repertories of saibara and röei. When tögaku and komagaku are performed for dance they are known as bugaku. Bugaku is divided into Dances of the Left (samai), which are performed to the music of togaku, and Dances of the Right (umai), which are
performed to the music of komagaku. Tögaku is also performed without dance and is then referred to as kangen . This recording includes two pieces ("Etenraku", "Seigaiha"') performed in the kangen style; and two in the bugaku style, one of which (" Kishunraku") is a Dance of the Left and the other ("'Kitoku"') a Dance of the Right. Azuma asobi are performed for a number of Shinto festivals and ceremonies such as that which occurs during Kyoto's Aoi festival at the Kamö shrine. After the singers and instrumentalists have entered, they line up facing the shrine and perform the song for the entertainment of the shrine god. Although thought of as predating tögaku and komagaku, azuma asobi was in fact reconstructed in the early nineteenth century. This recording includes one example of azuma asobi ("Motomeko no Uta'').
Concerning the video: I used the images of the masterpiece "Genji Monogatari", literally: "the story of Genji", a wonderful novel by the 11th century woman writer Murasaki Shikibu. The novel has been translated into various languages and is a highly recommended read. The images featured in the video come from the oldest papyrus roll dating back to the 12th century, therefore closest to the writer's original work.
I wish you happy listening!

"This record presents recordings of Gagaku, the oldest form of harmonic music existing in the world today. The term Gagaku signifies "music which is refined, noble and just" compared with folk music considered as vulgar or primitive. However this designation does not apply to music which is exactly the same in the three countries where Gagaku exists (in China, pronounced Yà Yuè ; in Korea, a-ak ; and in Japan, Gagaku), but rather to music which has two common functions, ritual and profane. Thus in adapting to the aesthetic needs of each country, these three forms of Gagaku have evolved to a point that their common origin is no longer recognizable. In Japan the term includes the Shintoist cult music (Mikagura) and profane erudite music which in its turn is divided into three kinds instrumental music (Kangen), danse music (Bugaku) and vocal music (Uta-mono).
As a general rule, a concert program is composed of pieces representing each of the three ; this record presents only instrumental and danse pieces. A Gagaku ensemble is usually composed of 16 musicians : 3 flutes ( Ryûteki or Komabue), 3 oboes (Hichiriki), 3 mouth-organs (Shô), 2 4-string lutes (Biwa), 2 13-sitars (Koto), a small gong (Shôko), a large drum (Taiko) and a drum played with sticks which is used by the orchestra leader. Each instru-ment has a predetermined function, precluding the free orchestration in Occidental music. The flutes and oboes play the heterophonic melody, they may (or may not) be harmonized by the mouth-organs ; the Kotos and Biwas execute melodic formulas transposable according to the mode ; the gong and drum played with sticks assure the periodicity which corresponds to the measure in Occidental music and the large drum indicates the large periodicity.
Although there have been modifications throughout the centuries, notably at the time of the musical reforms during the 9th Century, traditional Gagaku music has been maintained to the present time. The Gagaku constitutes then, as does the Shomyo [...], an inalienable part of the musical heritage of Japan, as well as that of mankind. The Gagaku musicians heard in this recording belong to the Ono Gagaku Kaï Society founded in 1887 [...]. This group has contributed not only to the continuation of a traditional repertoire but to the development of a contemporary repertoire as well.
1. Etenraku
Orchestral piece, preceded by tuning up in the Hyôjô mode. Etenraku is often referred to as the Gagaku masterpiece, for it has a long and important history [...]. [This] piece has attained such a degree of popularity that the term Etenraku is almost synonymous with Gagaku. Its origin, probably Chinese, remains obscure. Etenraku, often transposed in another mode, is here executed in its original mode, Hyôjô [...].
2. Bato
Dance piece. This is one of eight pieces imported from South Asia in the 8th Century. It is believed that the title Batô comes from the name of the King Pedu. This mythical king of Rig-Veda is supposed to have received a white horse from the twin Gods Asvin in order to escape from poisonous snakes. Thus is seen in the danse stylized gestures representing being astride a horse. From a musical point of view, the particularity of Bata is its rhythm of five beats (2/4 x 3/4 = 5/4) called Yatara-Byoshi.
3. Genjôraku
Dance piece. This is one of the best known in the repertoire of Bugaku (dance pieces) and is originally from Western Asia. It is often presented following Bate, as a concluding piece, probably because the dancer executes his movements around a snake, recalling the mythological episode of King Pedu of Rig-Veda.
4. Gakkaen
Instrumental piece of Chinese origin from the Tang Epoch (618-907). There is historical evidence that this piece was heard in Japan as far back as 702, testifying that Gakkaen is one of the oldest pieces that have come down to us. [...]
5. Bairo
Instrumental piece. Bairo, along with Bata, belongs to the repertoire of eight pieces from South Asia in the 8th Century. It is believed that the name Bairo is an abbreviation of the Sanscrit "Vairo-dhaka", the Prince who attacked the castle of Buddha's father. In fact one sees in the dance version four performers armed with lance and shield who pantomime Vairodhaka's battle. This recording presents the orchestral version of the danse piece.
6. Nasori
Dance piece. Nasori, probably originating, in Manchuria, was introduced by Korean musicians in about the 8th Century. This piece is composed of two short movements, executed by one or two dancers whose rapid gestures and golden mask represent a dragon."

Available Until Noon JST on March 31, 2024
Within the royal courts in Asian countries including Japan, a great variety of the performing arts have developed from ancient times: As religious events, or to show hospitality to visiting foreign delegates, or even for the amusement of the courtiers. The performing arts that evolved in the Japanese Imperial Courts comprise Gagaku, which developed around Kyoto, and those of the Ryukyu Kingdom, which was in the current Okinawa Prefecture. Both forms of the arts are being performed today.
Both of these performing arts originated and developed from the similar environment of the Imperial Court, while there are great differences in the period of time and cultural climate. This program focuses on "enthronement," a common thread in both performing arts formats, and introduces related musical pieces.
Please don’t miss the opportunity to experience this collaborative performance highlighting the lovely and historic qualities of Uzagaku, once called “a lost art of court music,” and Gagaku.
