6. Traditional Asian Theatre Music: “Japanese Theatre”

7. The traditional form of popular theatre began at the end of the 16th century and soon became the most successful theatre entertainment in the red light districts of the great cities. Together with Nōh , it is considered the most important Japanese contribution to World Theatre. Both Nōh and kabuki are unique and genuine expressions of the Japanese spirit and culture. They mirror, however, taste and ideals of different social classes, in profoundly different environments and epochs. Kabuki combines music, drama, and dance. It uses wild costumes and intense choreography. Until the 1680s, real swords were used in sword fights. Kabuki grew out of opposition to the staid traditions of Noh theatre—dramatists wanted to shock the audience with more lively and timely stories. Tradition has it that kabuki was first performed by Okunis in 1603 . Like Noh, however, Kabuki also became a stylized, regimented art form and is still performed in the same fashion. Noh is a traditional Japanese theatrical performance that combines dance, music, and acting. The word " Noh" means "skill" or "talent". 

8. Vocal Pattern and Techniques: Ipponchōshi or the continuous pattern - used in speeches building up to an explosive climax in the aragoto (oversize, supernatural, rough hero) style, it requires an extraordinary breath control that only few experts succeed in achieving.  It's one of the vocal techniques used in Kabuki, a traditional Japanese theater that combines acting, singing, and dancing. 

9. The " Nori technique" derived from the chanting style of Jōruri , refers to a vocal technique where a performer closely follows the rhythms of the shamisen (a Japanese string instrument), delivering each vocal phrase in precise alignment with the musical accompaniment, showcasing a high degree of sensitivity to the music's flow. Origin: Adapted from the traditional Japanese narrative singing style called Jōruri , often used in Bunraku puppet theater.   Focus on rhythm: The key aspect is the ability to precisely match the vocalist's delivery to the intricate rhythms played on the shamisen . 

10. Yakuharai technique - the subtle delivery of poetical text written in the Japanese metrical form of alternating seven and five syllables.

11. Vocal and Instrumental Features: Dances and movements are accompanied by shamisen music which collected and popularized a number of aspects from all previous forms of Japanese music, from gagaku (classic court music imported from China during the 18 th century), kagura (performed in Shinto shrines), nō (chant derives from shōmyō , the sophisticated and rich tradition of Buddhist chanting), down to the folk songs and fashionable songs of the day. The most popular shamisen music was called nagauta (long song) which reached a golden age in the first half of the 19th century as dance music for the henge mono or quick change pieces.

12. Naugata Naugata music is very flexible, can be performed by one shamisen or by an entire orchestra of twenty musicians, of which ten are shamisen players, while others play flutes( fue taken from the nō ) and drums (small drum- kotsuzumi ; waist drum- ōtsuzumi ; stickdrumtaiko ).

13. SHAMISEN The shamisen or samisen, also sangen , both words mean ("three strings"), is a three-stringed traditional Japanese musical instrument derived from the Chinese instrument sanxian. It is played with a plectrum calleda bachi . FUE A parallel, bamboo flute ( fue ) is the only melodic instrument used in noh . It is played in both congruent and non-congruent rhythmic styles in entrance music and instrumental dances. ... It also plays in free rhythm( ashirai ) along with the chanted text to heighten or expand emotion.

14. TAIKO A Japanese drum that comes in various sizes and is used to play a variety of musical genres. KOTSUZUMI and OTSUZUMI They are used in both noh and kabuki performances. The kotsuzumi is held on the right shoulder and the player alters the tone by squeezing the laces. The otsuzumi is placed on the left thigh.
