History (Jin Nyodo):
| Itcho-ken: KUMOI-JISHI 1. About the title: It probably indicates a shishi ("lion piece") in kumoi-joshi 2. Structure of the piece It is formed in three sections. The first section opens in a sonorous, high tone but ends in a quieter, mid-range tone. The second section begins again in the mid-range, then the tempo becomes brighter and takes on a more defined rhythm. Around the middle of this section a rather short takane-style melody occurs. Sometimes the whole second section is repeated twice. The third section is a short, finale-style melody. 3. Special features of the piece: Like Azuma-no-kyoku this is a gikyoku ("playful piece") and hence it is bright and cheerful. It centers throughout on the KO-range and has an even more vibrant and sonorous tone of composition than Azuma-no-Kyoku. |
