Ataka no Matsu
安宅の松
| [Also Known As] | The Pines at Ataka |
History (Miyata Kōhachirō):
| This lovely popular tune was adapted by Fujita for the nagauta dance version heard here. Ordinarily, a vocalist is featured, but for this recording his part has been omitted in order to spotlight the delicate relationship between flute and shamisen-particularly appropriate, since the text of the song describes how the flute serves as an expressive outlet for a lonely lover. |
