История (Tsuge Gen'ichi):
| This piece, Saga no aki ('Fall in Saga') is considered a masterpiece among the compositions for the koto written in the early Meiji Era. The substantial part of this piece is a brilliant koto duet, consisting of three sections (dan). Although it is composed in the tegoto-mono form, Saga no aki is quite different from the so-called jiuta-sokyoku, and it represents 'modern' koto music of the late nineteenth century Japan. The text it based on a well-known story from 'The Tale of the Heike.' See Kogo no kyoku. |
Поэма (translated by Tsuge Gen'ichi)
| Fall on the plain Of Saga - Renowned for nothing But the loneliness Of all things. The moon illumines The brushwood gate. The whisper Of a hidden koto - Wind from the summit? Wind through the pines? Is the woman I seek Whiling away the time? I quicken the horse, listen The koto plucks The 'Song of Longing' I know so well, The 'Song of Longing' I know so well. | Sarade dani mono no sabishiki na ni tateru saga no atari no aki no koro tsuki wa kumanaki shiba no to ni shinobite morasu koto no ne wa (ai) mine no arashi ka matsukaze ka tazunuru hito no susabi ka ya (tegoto) Koma wo hayamete kiku toki wa tsumaoto shiruki soofuren (ai) tsumaoto shiruki soofuren |
