正調 五木の子守唄 - Lullaby Of Itsuki

[1040bumblebee1]

音楽についても舞台芸術についても門外漢の私だからこそ見えるの­かもしれません。演出のための演出というのは何度か繰り返すとだ­いたいは自然とザラついて浮き上がってきます。歌手のかたの手の­表情に唸ったのもおおかたは見落としでした。豊かな感性からもだ­しがたく表れてくるものが、最初から最後までワンパターンの単純­動作というのは、私の頭では考えにくい矛盾です。演出をすべて拒­否はできません。努力的な試みではあるのでしょう。ただ努力は感­性の目をいっぱいに見開くほうにこそまずは向かうべきで、演出は­そこからのことでしょう。頭デッカチの末のさか立ちの感が強いで­す。伴奏というのか編曲というのか、それも何やらオドロおどろし­さばかりが耳についてきました。私の無知と未熟のゆえということ­は十分ありえます。何しろ歌舞伎や日舞を狭すぎる約束内芸術とし­てしか評価できない私ですから。ガーナで見たダンスは門外漢にも­無条件に訴えかけてくるものを持っていました。それをこそ本当に­優れたものと考えています。感性はどうあれ歌は歌で悪くないのに­、惜しいね。

なるほどこういう歌だったの。正調を名うつからには事実なのでし­ょう。記録として貴重です。それに歌手の方の手の使い方にはうな­ります。ピアニストの全身表情まで動員して無駄にしていない演出­は斬新です。でも知に走りすぎ。一方でコケオドシの演出過剰がせ­っかくのそれらにも疑いの目を向けさせます。この歌のよさを訴え­かけるべき演出家本人が一番解っていないようです。例えて言えば­、何千年かけて自然が磨き上げた中にブリキ・コンクリートのガラ­クタを無遠慮に持ち込んで自然破壊芸術“業”を楽しむ、それです­。そこに嘘くささを感じ取って本当じゃないと訴えかけているのが­いくつかの否定的コメントです。そちらの人々に遥かに鋭い豊かな­感性が感じられます。その方々が本当に言いたいのはこれが正しい­かどうかではありません。わかりませんか。必ずしも正調ではなく­とも、素顔のままでじゅうぶん素朴で美しい美人の子守唄にゴテゴ­テ厚化粧をさせているのが、源流においてはすばらしい１つの和芸­術を冒涜するものという見方ができます。美とか芸術はもっと謙虚­によりそうべきものと言いたいです。

I realllyyyy like this singer. :D She's wonderful.

[Archlz]

おお正調初めて聞きました。

自分の知ってる旋律と大分違うな

[PATACHENREN]

...world soup....

[kovona]

Who sleeps to this? Is it for inducing nightmares?

[Bumblebee10401]

@kovona Good point. People of intellect would well know that lullabies are not what should be just sung like this, to please the gallery, with ostentatious, theatrical interpretation.

We have a simple, popular and refined version of this song, which when sung with sincerity would touch your emotions for sure.

[yoimati]

@kovona

This is not a song mother soothe her baby. A girl from a poor family is put a rich family out to service and take care their baby. She really want to get back her home as soon as possible, and if the baby cries she would be scolded by the mistress or elder employee.This is a song of sorrowful situation of a nursemaid.

[kovona]

@yoimati Then it shouldn't be called a lullaby....unless there are Japanese parents who purposely want their babies to grow up depressed and suicidal?

[yoimati]

@kovona

As the explanatory note says this song is Japanese old traditional folk song of Itsuki village, Kumamoto prefecture. Its name in Japanese is ''Itsuki no Komori-uta''.

''Komori-uta'' is automatically translated into ''lullaby''.It actually is A Song of Nursemaid.

Usually parents don't sing this song their babies because all the Japanes people know what the song is about.

@yoimati lol

初めて、正調五木の子守唄を聞かせていただきました。

しびれます。すばらしい。

世界に誇りたい芸術です。

[jny60100111]

何か、魂を揺さぶられたような・・・

そんな感じがしました

[michi53100]

声の音域の膨らみや、深さを、感じとても豊かで穏やかな気持ちに­成りました。

[sethias94310]

Je pense rester sous le charme de cette musique toute une éternité!!!!

[lovelylahaina]

何気なくこの曲を自分流にアレンジして、自分のバンドで演奏して­きました。

賛否、好き嫌いを論じるものではなく、正調を知る事はミュージシ­ャン、特にアレンジャーにとっては非常に大切な事です。曲の生い­立ちは概略知って云いましたが、これは又、特別なイメージを感じ­ます。

[A6M5AA]

正調の「五木の子守唄」を知らない人は、アレンジされた曲としか­思えないでしょうが、これこそ本物の「五木の子守唄」なんですよ­。

節が違うとか、イメージが違うとか思われた方も多いと思いますが­、五木の山の中で正調の子守唄をお年寄りから聞かせて貰うと、正­にこのようなイメージになります。

これをステージでここまで表現されているのは、素晴らしいと思い­ます。

地元の人間として、とても嬉しく思います。

[khatpandwa]

this is beautiful

[Cuezu]

So beautiful, can someone send me the english lyrics, or at least the japanese, this would help my little sister sleep

[xMaxnNudgex]

@Cuezu Odoma iya iya, Naku ko no mori nya. Naku to iwarete uramareru, Naku to iwarete uramareru. Nenne shita ko no Kawai sa, muzo sa. Okite naku ko no tsura niku sa. Okite naku ko no tsura niku sa. ----------- I certainly hate Taking care of the crying child. They hate me for keeping the child to cry, They hate me for keeping the child to cry. The sleeping child's Cuteness and Innocent look! The crying child's ugly look The crying child's ugly look

[Eic92]

you should sing tarirang! I think it would be beatiful

[ItsumoKokoroniTaiyou]

サウンドがちょいとちがわい

誰でも良いよ

こう歌うのは、まちがい

愛より、憎しみ

を産むんだよ

あかん！

[jboy212]

Both beautiful....are her hand motions for breathe control? If so, that's pretty cool!

[Bumblebee10401]

@jboy212 It’s just a designed motion for performance’s sake. How nice her singing could have been if she had avoided applying those motions, which, being no better than flat repetitions of a simple pattern from the beginning to the end, are unlikely to be effusion of a fine sensibility. On the contrary, her monotonous motions and even her look have started to look to me to be a demonstration of her dull sense though I don’t dislike her voice.

[pyrrusoverwinning]

やりすぎ

歌が台無し

[breekwhal]

you're voice is wonderful. i love how deep it is

[shamimaster]

子守唄は子守として歌ってこそ素晴らしい。ステージでやって素晴­らしい芸術になるわけがない。

[TheLastHylianTitan]

basically it's about a poor person waiting for Bon, the festival where dead ancestors come back. they are sad because they work for a rich family, who have their entire family with them. since most poor people of this era were nannies of a sort, they cry because if the baby cries, they are blamed for it. and they miss their family terribly, but when they die, no one will be left to mourn them.

[TheLastHylianTitan]

i agree with you, and yet i don't. i agree that it doesn't capture the soft, almost inaudible sadness of the lulluby, but at the same time, it carries its own brand of sadness. it reminds me of a woman weeping.

[shamsee100]

Very sad but beautifully sung by Ayumi Ueda san. She so successfully brings the song to life, with all the heartaches and sorrows of the poor class. In many parts of the world, not much has changed. Poor are still poor and face sorrows everyday. This song has a universal appeal.

Domo Arigatoo Guzaimasu Suniausa san for sharing.

[Tama300]

te parto al medio

[deepbluelotus]

It''s a Japanese traditional song, It''s of poor girls who had to do baby sitter for other rich families. it says, 'I don't like a baby crying bcz I am scolded with it" 'I am in a lowere class, and they are in a high class,so they wear good belts and good clothes" 'My work will end on the Bon day,if Bon comes earlier,I would go home earlier" "If I died,who would cry for me? In tne monuntains,cicadas would cry" "Not only cicadas but also my sisters, but I care about my sisteres"

[shathe0nele0m0la]

this is a lullaby, and yet she is singing it as if it is a ballad or something...

and i'm not sure the piano is the best instrument to transpose the lullaby to.

little toooo theatrical

[Hikikomori013]

I don't think it's a lullaby as much as it is a blues song about a caretaker's sorrows.

[dakoata121212]

@Hikikomori013 But old japanese lullaby were sung by caretakers and the words were often about what that caretaker was feeling. usualy sad because she is forced to work as a caretaker, or as we call the, babysitter.

[turr520]
