4Month20On Sunday, at "Hamayashiki" in Suita City
"The World of Noh Music" was held.
Hamayashiki is a refurbished village headman's residence in Suita Village during the Edo period.
The official name is "Suita Historical Culture Town Development Center".
"Hamayashiki" is a nickname. 
(Exterior view of Hamayashiki)
Noh is usually a theater with a story,
Musical accompaniment and jiutai are regarded as accompaniment.
The concept of this party is to focus on the music and chants,
Extract the essence of each performance
We want you to feel it with your five senses.
Atsushi Ueda, an Okura-ryu kotsuzumi-kata, teaches kotsuzumi classes in Hamayashiki.Years after becoming the subject1Held once, this year8It will be the second time.
Mr. Ueda has been attending a regular cooking school since last year,
4I was promoted to the advanced course from May.
Because of that, I was able to appreciate the stage performance.
The programs are "Okina", "Takasago", "Tamura", "Hagoromo", "Tenko" and "Ishibashi".
"Okina is said to be 'Noh but not Noh,'
The form of performing arts that was held as a festival before Noh was established
It can be said that it is the roots of Noh.” (from the program)
As the theme of the meeting is "Noh / Prayer for the Human Life",
The meeting began with "Okina", which expresses "prayer".
After "Okina", Mr. Ueda talked about Noh.
The program this time is in line with the "gobandachi" of "god, man, woman, madness, and demon".
“If you do all the songs seriously, it will take you from morning till night (laughs).”
Also, as an informal form of performance,
There are dance music, band music, live music, dance, solo music,
using them this time
1Performance1Only the mountains where it takes nearly an hour
10~15I was able to show it to you in minutes.
(Maibayashi "Hagoromo". This is the scene where the celestial maiden has her robe returned to her and performs a dance. It is an elegant dance that contrasts with the masculine, warrior-like dance of "Tamura" that preceded it. = " Image provided by the Suita Historical and Cultural Town Development Center)
"It's hard to hear the content of the chanting because of the music, so make it quieter? ”
(laughs)
But if you make it smaller, you lose overall power.
I hope that you can think of the musical accompaniment as something that gives power to human chants and movements.”
and Mr. Ueda.
(Ibayashi "Ishibashi". The scene where the lion appears is very impressive. ＝Image provided by "Suita History and Culture Town Development Center")
Because the performers and the audience are close,
The air was filled with a strong sense of tension.
Musical flutes, small drums, big drums, the sound of taiko drums, and shouts
Summarize the whole feeling and it will remain in your ears.
It was just like a live performance.
I received a message from Mr. Ueda.
“Thank you very much for coming today.
I sincerely thank you.
Noh in modern times,That said
Things that are considered irrelevant to the general public
I cannot deny it.However, rather than Noh being a form of entertainment for people,
It may be because it is a performing art that occurred as a dedication to the gods.
For example, the hayashi that we sing is not simply music,
Based on ancient thoughts such as the five elements of Yin and Yang, on the mechanism of the Noh stage
It is also a technique for constructing a different world.
In addition, the training method is not only a technique, but also cultivates the spirit, mind, and spirit inside.
I feel like I'm emphasizing that.
The depth that cannot be understood simply like this
Isn't it the splendor of traditional performing arts?
This time, from my standpoint as a musician,
The charm of Noh, which resonates more deeply than the eyes and ears, is as easy to understand as possible.
I'm going to have a good time talking to you.
For those who have never seen Noh in the future, and for enthusiasts
I will do my best to make sure everyone enjoys it.
Please feel free to visit us again! "
