Gagaku: The Court Music of Japan (complete)
HTML-код

- 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.

Thanks for sharing culture.
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:

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.

I like this but at 0:08 I regretted that I used headphones on loud volume for this, ouch, my ears.
I know this isn't japanology but seriously where the hell is Peter Barakan?! lol
lol
Did you know Tokyo used to be called Edo and that cranes and pines are auspicious symbols in Japan? Lol
First time i heard Gagaku, and i'm head over heels with this music. Wow! So calm, for our standards, and yet so hypnotic. What is the name of the big drum?

Thank you.
15:50 I would imagine every guitar teacher has had a child that takes this approach in their first lesson.
Begin Japanology had an episode on this but it did not put it on youtube so that is why I am here. I think this is far more informative perhaps but definitely long.
Thank you for distributing the video. This video is really helpful because I have been studying Gagaku.
I watch this documentary almost every week morning
remarkable presentation
The music sounds like a smoke alarm with a dead battery. 55:00 but i must like it i watched the whole video.
My favorite is the one with the red guy. Literally could watch him do that for hours
you can feel the chinese influence in this music.
This is ancient Chinese music
@@キハパイワエナ but it originally came from china
@@山川川山
this is japanese culture. just because tang china influenced japan doesnt mean japanese culture is chinese. common sense bruh
@@bamzel4791
yeah so? anime-styled art came from japan. does that mean genshin is japanese? NOPE. common sense bruh
@@karahafuit also influenced by korea
thank you very much for uploading.
and thank all of you here for watching this ,,,,,,,,,on behalf of Japanese.
Sounds like Pink Floyd after strong acid.....
I've only listened to the first piece so far, but it's beautiful. It reminds me a little of some of the music from the second-generation Pokémon games.
awesome beautiful sound ,sweet music music in the high happys!!!in the exodus,when the order of march was set, the musicians marched at the head of the procession,leading the way.
Wow, so fascinating. I simply love documentaries like this.
wow!! is the commentator alan whickers long lost twin brother!!!??
Hello sir, I would like to ask for a chance to transmit it to Bilibili with Chinese subtitles. Can I get your agreement?
This is fascinating. Thanks for uploading it.
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.
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.
+Kasumi97 Take what Yamaga Soko says seriously and go to Lark in the Morning's online store.
It takes a select mind to handle the spiritual level of this music and form of art
bruh
4:58 look for controlled symmetry and not emotion or a story
Thanks for downloading this. Pity it does not appeal to more people.
You can hear how party blowers influenced this music.
thnx for sharing bro
indeed.
This is nostalgic for me. I feel i have heard this as it was yesterday day.
yes
Great work! :) Cecilia xo
I’m intrigued, why is this performed? For what occasion? What is the context here??
Just as art. It's not ceremonial or functional.

Wow!
This is fantastic. I've always wanted to know about this style of music and the instruments.
Thank you so much for posting this!
The dissonance in the sound was used for mesmerism and to trance the people it did so even more effectively to any animals uses as well.
that highly incisive flute in mid register, is that hichiriki?
Yes.
Amazing, thanks man!

Whatever it's called
Wonderful. An absolute joy.
This truly is hypnotic.
The そ sounds so pretty.
I've read that gagaku iscourt music of the T'ang Dynasty in China, lost in China, but preserved in Japan.
What type of music it is when people chant or use strong vocal sounds in such traditional music?
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.
I love the costumes, the music is very grating though
Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
