Gagaku
3,739 listeners
Gagaku (雅楽, literally "elegant music") is a type of Japanese classical music that has been performed at the Imperial court for several centuries. It consists of three primary bodies: 1. Native Shinto religious music and folk songs and dance, called kuniburi no utamai 2. A Goguryeo and Manchurian form, called komagaku (named for Koma, one of the Three Kingdoms) 3. A Chinese and South Asia form (specifically Tang Dynasty), called togaku. Gagaku, like shomyo, employs the Yo scale, a pentatonic scale with ascending intervals of two, three, two, and two semitones between the five scale tones.
