Showing of japanese gagaku music by the group KITANODAI GAGAKUKAI at our university. Part 1/2

Unfortunately the lower tones particulary of the shô got lost because of the bad microphone in my camera.

@123ShadowFox A couple of years ago you asked about the notation of gagaku. Part of it is memorization and long practice, but there is also a Chinese notation system that has been used in Japan since at least the 9th century. Look up gong che pu or gong che notation in Wikipedia for information.

Thanks.

I'm not sure...but i think they have letter notation, or they r just keeping it like improvisation, ear to ear ..

[123ShadowFox]

wow you are so lucky to have been able to see this!

I have been recently studying this style of music and have been wondering, how do they notate it?

if you could help me that would be fantastic!
