平調　越殿楽

2007年11月17日　名古屋市東文化小劇場 雅音会　第２回定期演奏会にて演奏 http://www.gaonkai.com 〜 Explanation 説明（英文）〜 Etenraku (越天楽, literally music brought from heaven) is a Japanese gagaku melody and dance. It is usually played with a hichiriki or ryūteki, and is accompanied by other traditional instruments such as the shō, koto and kakko. History The origin of Etenraku is not fully known. There are theories that the melody was created in Japan, but others believe that it is from Khotan, a tributary state of the Tang dynasty that became part of the repertoire of the Chinese court. During the Heian period, a gagaku form known as imayō (今様, literally modern style) became popular. In this form, poems would be sung using melodies. Etenraku was one of the most popular melodies to be used in imayō. In 1931 Hidemaro Konoye arranged an orchestral version of the piece, and it was later picked up by Leopold Stokowski. These days, Etenraku is often performed at wedding ceremonies. Melody There are different versions of Etenraku in three of the modes of gagaku - hyōjō, ōshiki, and banshikicho.The banshikicho version is purported to be the oldest of the melodies, but the hyōjō version is best known in Japan.
