Gagaku Etenraku

[kaisermuto]

This music has been preserved by imperial GAGAKU music division. This melody

was made in ancient Japan. But music structure and instruments came from ancient

China. Now even China has not this music form. We preserve every culture.

体がスッキリしたみたいな感じがしたよ

[Hikikomori013]

It really is magnificent music, once you understand it. But getting a feel for it starting from western music is like listening to paint drying off key.

For newcomers, Uzume's dance at the stone door of heaven is a better place to start. Look for 天の岩戸.

[MrPerfumen]

雅だわ

[moon3014]

さすが　うまいなぁ・・・

[2329yoko]

近所のお不動さんでずっとながれてるな～

雅楽は美しい

[mrcrocent]

君が代にあるように・・・日本が永遠に続くことを祈らざるを得な­い・・・。

[evange03]

Amazing, I'm a young black male from the southeast united states and this music is truly beautiful. Music truly is the universal language.

[ivanarsenijevic]

This music has enormous healing effect. Not just spiritual but to the fullest - it acts as the obvious physical remedy. It is a blessing - oh...

[ivanarsenijevic]

If this recording comes from a concert, does anyone know what concert it was? Better yet, anyone knows where to get the whole recording of it? :-)

明後日、学年末考査で「越天楽」のテストが出ますｗ

篳篥・竜笛・楽琵琶・楽太鼓・鞨鼓・笙・笙鼓・楽筝とか覚えなき­ゃ…

頑張りますｗｗ

[karassolo]

この音楽で感度しました。

[HISATOYOYA]

心休まる素敵な曲をありがとうございます！

[triadpairs]

gorgeous!

[asabyeeoniku]

楽器の名称の字幕が出るときに、その楽器の音を少し大きくして視­聴者側が聞こえやすいようにしてくれるので、楽器の音色やリズム­や役割が分かりやすかったです。

[pranhu]

Well, most people must realize that they are listening to the same tune as music around 700 AD....

[rugbytlse]

@pranhu you're right, fantastic.

[Smorfty]

Sure it's culture but it also hurts my ears >_<

[huli2005]

@Smorfty maybe because your brain is formated?

[huli2005]

@Smorfty

maybe because your brain is formated?

[Luigifan18]

@Smorfty If THAT'S how you're gonna think... you'd be a shitty ethnomusicologist.

[kenitai007]

本当だ黒田節ですね気づきませんでした。

ということは、演奏し続けられてきたということですね。

伝統が連綿と継承されてきたという事実が

日本の凄みなんでしょうが、口にすると浅ましいから止めますｗ

自分の中で評価していれば良いのが日本人でなければね。

でもしっかり書いちゃった

[etchan1]

只今龍笛練習中の為非常に為になりました！

[liluyi19850402]

這是不是日本國的國歌君之代？？

[82GENA]

@liluyi19850402

不是

[The19love]

日本！

[ie9rws]

琵琶のおじさん太！！ｗ

[mood103201]

学校の授業でやってます!!!

[mood103201]

いいなー日本

[bzdaisuki1]

音楽のビデをにこの映像出た！

[sazji]

I love how the playing of the string instruments is practically choreographed

[wadatsumitou]

日本！

[mahoroba77598]

口伝伝承が明らかに、正当に受け継がれてきたように感じました。­正調越天楽として学んでいきます。

[occeo]

Japan is very good at preserving culture.

[GraigRussell]

You should read Christopher Yohmei Blasdle's 'The Single Tone'. It's not quiet that simple.

[Newnewmodel]

@occeo

It is in some ways, but some would argue that much of the culture that is "preserved" is not in its true form, and is a hollywood-style imitation. It's a shame.

[LiNga000]

間合いというか、

息が合うとは当にこのことですね。

美しい音色にウットリしてしまいました。

Wnderfulment 雅!!

[torachiyo1015]

的確是很好聽的音樂～

光從樂器上的種類～

就知道真的是非常有歷史了～

[HANANAHUU]

雅楽は最も美しい音楽だと思います。

[geworfenheit]

Togakau(唐樂) is so well preserved in Japan today. That's marvelous !

[geworfenheit]

It's Togaku. I misspelled that. Please excuse.

[ayanuhito]

春日や四天王寺の演奏は宗教的な迫力があり、東京や京都の演奏は­儀式的で綺麗ですね。
