Japanese traditional music style

Japanese classical music has a significant special functions is: Ghost gas dense.

First, basic scale

The scale of classical music in our country is: Gong Shang Kok Levy plume, namely 123,565 tones! This interval does not conform to the 12 average law (modern music divides the interval from one eight to another eight degrees into 12 parts, one chromatic per copy)! The scale of Japanese classical music is totally different from ours!

They are: 13467 uses 7 to 1, 3 to 4 of the interval of two adjacent chromatic! In this way, the harmony between the notes is greatly increased, and the classical music scale of our country has 12356 chromatic tones between each sound, so the harmony between the sound and sound is very good, so it gives a feeling of femininity (such as: Flat sand Fall Yan and fishermen singing late), at the same time full of natural breath (mountain stream and Han water), and can show a high-wide distant and empty artistic conception (such as: Pinghu Autumn Moon and the Sun three stacks), even the sad song is gently sobbing, explain the way (such as: Han Autumn Moon over and Chibi nostalgic).

But the dissonance of the Japanese classical music has caused entanglement and confusion on the melody, as well as the violent collision between the tone and the sound. At the same time listening to the Chinese music we are accustomed to 12356 of the interval, to adapt to 13467 will endure the interval above the customary interval. So, the feeling will be sharp and piercing.

Second, musical instruments

The instruments introduced here are mainly of eight, shamisen, Japanese Zheng, three things:

1 foot Eight, the Japanese flute is slightly shorter than the Chinese one. Therefore, the sound sharpness, strong transmission, sharp tone, high range, is a very unique woodwind instrument. Often used for the rendering of strange atmospheres (e.g., the Kimi of her blood in the evening), and the opening of Japanese classical music (e.g., the wedge of the spring sound of Japanese classical masterpieces) ). Now, it is also often used for the opening or closing of pop music, to emphasize the bizarre effects and the distinctive music of the Yamato nation (e.g., the set a of synchronised swimming in the 2000 Sydney Olympics)!
23 strings. The strings played by the dial, introduced in the Tang Dynasty, after the transformation of the Japanese, the formation of today's form. Shamisen broad range, sound public and simple, and have a feeling of being able to confide, strong resonance. Now, it is still used for the soundtrack of Noh and raving performances.
3rd This Zheng is basically the same as the Chinese Zheng, slightly short. Chinese Zheng 21 strings, the Japanese Zheng because of various genres and 21,19,15,13 and other strings, unlike the Chinese guzheng has now been unified. The Chinese zither scales 2 liters to 3, 3 liters to 4, 5 liters to 6, 6 liters to 7, which became the scale of the Japanese zither, without 2 and 5 Replaced by 4 and 7. The range is very wide, and the timbre is transformed very much. Japanese Zheng to use wooden nails, and Chinese guzheng horn or tortoise nails is different. So the tone is sonorous and sharp. The melody also looks bleak or mainshausen strange.
