Exploring Fascinating Sounds of Gagaku Mr. Hideki Togi is an artist who inherited the tradition of Gagaku, the ancient court music of Japan, and who has ushered in a new phase in the world of music with his fusion of Gagaku and synthesizer. He introduces the tone colors of Gagaku 's characteristic musical instruments, and explains that Gagaku is originated from ancient people's views of nature and the cosmos. The children try to express through improvisation the sounds they have felt. At the end of the class, they attempt to perform the Gagaku classic "Etenraku" on recorders and keyboard harmonicas. |
