Here again is a brilliant passage of a nagauta piece, The original is the accompanying music of the most famous Kabuki dance- drama. It is based on an old legend to the following effect: a maiden fell deeply in a forlorn love with a young itinerant priest who lodged a night at her house, and ran after him; he took refuge in a temple, Dojoji, and the temple priests hid him in the temple bell; but the maiden crazy in love transformed herself into a gigantic serpent and destroyed the bell and the young priest with a blaze of resentment. Though the legend sounds terrible, the Kabuki dance-drama, aiming at showing beautiful dances of a blooming maiden, is really brilliant and gay, and is one of those dances which young girls who take lessons of Japanese classical dance long to dance on the stage. In this recording it is arranged for koto, shamisen and orchestra with some Japanese percussions.
