amazing content! I wish the video was longer! And you can break down famous japanese songs using the theory and how they composed it, would be super interesting!
Thank you very much it is what we need to know ! Can you tell us about theory of composition and structure of shakuhachi music , its very very interesting , thank you !
Do you know any sources that go deep into the names for each of the 12 pitches? I am interested in knowing more about the connection between the sounds and their names. For example, why is G# named 鳧鐘? Is it supposed to reflect the sound of temple bells?
@@chanting_poets there are no direct sources I can think of right now that are in English. There is however the ctext.org/liji/li-qi The li qi which you may consider reading
Don't get me started on why 黃鐘 is Huangzhong and a C by today's standards in Chinese music somehow becomes a G (by Chinese standards) or A (by Japanese standards) and gets called Oushiki instead of Koushou (the latter goes back to the Chinese C or Japanese D)
Is all traditional Japanese music in 12-tone equal temperament? Since pitches like C#/Db share the same name. (In european classical music prior to the 19th century there were temperaments where C# and Db would've sounded different, thereof their different names.)
No, all instruments are influenced by this system. You can’t talk about Koto without talking about its use in Gagaku and the note systems inherited by China.
Excellent! Nice way to hook the viewer with the introductory Ro note! This video contains so much good information... Thank you!
Thank you! I thought it was a good way to get the shakuhachi player involved. :-) Thanks for stopping by.

There is a book on that I’m currently reading. It isn’t as clear as I would like it to be

No they are divided with the Pythagorean tuning.
@@TairyuShakuhachiInteresting, thank you!
Is this theory system applicable to Kooto or other instruments? Or is it restrained to some ensambles with a couple instruments in certain eras?
