    In Silent Homage to Amaterasu: Kagura Secret Songs at Ise Jingū and the Imperial Palace Shrine in Modern and Pre-modern Japan Michiko Urita A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Patricia Shehan Campbell, Chair Jeffrey M. Perl Christina Sunardi Paul S. Atkins Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music ii ©Copyright 2017 Michiko Urita iii University of Washington Abstract In Silent Homage to Amaterasu: Kagura Secret Songs at Ise Jingū and the Imperial Palace Shrine in Modern and Pre-modern Japan Michiko Urita Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Patricia Shehan Campbell Music This dissertation explores the essence and resilience of the most sacred and secret ritual music of the Japanese imperial court—kagura taikyoku and kagura hikyoku—by examining ways in which these two songs have survived since their formation in the twelfth century. Kagura taikyoku and kagura hikyoku together are the jewel of Shinto ceremonial vocal music of gagaku, the imperial court music and dances. Kagura secret songs are the emperor’s foremost prayer offering to the imperial ancestral deity, Amaterasu, and other Shinto deities for the well-being of the people and Japan. I aim to provide an understanding of reasons for the continued and uninterrupted performance of kagura secret songs, despite two major crises within Japan’s history. While foreign origin style of gagaku was interrupted during the Warring States period (1467-1615), the performance and transmission of kagura secret songs were protected and sustained. In the face of the second crisis during the Meiji period (1868-1912), which was marked by a threat of foreign invasion and the re-organization of governance, most secret repertoire of gagaku lost their secrecy or were threatened by changes to their traditional system of transmissions, but kagura secret songs survived and were sustained without losing their iv secrecy, sacredness, and silent performance.

  • An Analysis of Twentieth-Century Flute Sonatas by Ikuma Dan, Hikaru
    Flute Repertoire from Japan: An Analysis of Twentieth-Century Flute Sonatas by Ikuma Dan, Hikaru Hayashi, and Akira Tamba D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Daniel Ryan Gallagher, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 D.M.A. Document Committee: Professor Katherine Borst Jones, Advisor Dr. Arved Ashby Dr. Caroline Hartig Professor Karen Pierson 1 Copyrighted by Daniel Ryan Gallagher 2019 2 Abstract Despite the significant number of compositions by influential Japanese composers, Japanese flute repertoire remains largely unknown outside of Japan. Apart from standard unaccompanied works by Tōru Takemitsu and Kazuo Fukushima, other Japanese flute compositions have yet to establish a permanent place in the standard flute repertoire. The purpose of this document is to broaden awareness of Japanese flute compositions through the discussion, analysis, and evaluation of substantial flute sonatas by three important Japanese composers: Ikuma Dan (1924-2001), Hikaru Hayashi (1931- 2012), and Akira Tamba (b. 1932). A brief history of traditional Japanese flute music, a summary of Western influences in Japan’s musical development, and an overview of major Japanese flute compositions are included to provide historical and musical context for the composers and works in this document. Discussions on each composer’s background, flute works, and compositional style inform the following flute sonata analyses, which reveal the unique musical language and characteristics that qualify each work for inclusion in the standard flute repertoire. These analyses intend to increase awareness and performance of other Japanese flute compositions specifically and lesser- known repertoire generally.

    The rhythm of the ryuteki rises up to the heaven 01/14 KAMINONE Sound of God The River Hii flows swiftly in the divine morning glow The rhythm of the ryuteki rises up to the heavens Flute master Hino Tatsuo The infinity of Japanese sound Hikawa, part of Izumo City in eastern Shimane, is a magnet for students and researchers from all over the world, who make their way to a house near the Hii River. It is the home of Hino Tatsuo, one of Japan’s remaining makers of yokobue, traverse flutes (held horizontally). Hino works alone, doing everything himself, including performing, where he channels his feelings into improvisations that speak to the gods. As a flute maker, he breathes his soul into his creations, and as a performer he entrusts his feelings not to word or text but to sound. He talked to us about his experience as a flute master, the value of traditional Japanese music, and just what is true music. The rhythm of the ryuteki rises up to the heaven 02/14 1. To talk to God M usic rooted in the land Gagaku, Japanese court music with a history of over 1,300 years, employs three flutes: the ryuteki or dragon flute, the kagurabue, and the komabue. All three are yokobue, and they are also used in local traditional performing arts. My job is to make them. I have been involved in kagura, a type of Shinto ritual ceremonial dance, and shishimai, the lion dance, for more than 60 years. It’s now more than 50 years since I first made a flute, but it has depths that are still unknown to me.

  • The Use of Traditional Japanese Music As An
    THE USE OF TRADITIONAL JAPANESE MUSIC AS AN INSPIRATION FOR MODERN SAXOPHONE COMPOSITIONS: AN INTERPRETIVE GUIDE TO JOJI YUASA’S NOT I BUT THE WIND… AND MASAKAZU NATSUDA’S WEST, OR EVENING SONG IN AUTUMN BY CHRISTOPHER BRYANT ANDERSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Performance and Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Debra Richtmeyer, Chair Associate Professor Erik Lund, Director of Research Professor Emeritus Bruno Nettl Associate Professor J. David Harris ABSTRACT The use of non-Western music, particularly the traditional music of Japan, as the impetus for Western compositions has become increasingly common in music for saxophone since 1970. Many of the composers who have undertaken this fusion of styles are of Japanese nationality, but studied composition in Western conservatories and schools of music. Two composers who have become known for the use of elements from Japanese music within their compositions intended for Western instruments and performers are Joji Yuasa and Masakazu Natsuda. The aim of this study is to examine the manners in which these two composers approached the incorporation of Japanese musical aesthetics into their music for the saxophone. The first part of the document examines Joji Yuasa’s Not I, but the wind…, which uses the shakuhachi flute as its stylistic inspiration. A history and description of the shakuhachi flute, as well as the techniques used to create its distinctive musical style are provided. This is followed by a detailed examination of the manner in which the composer utilizes these stylistic elements within the composition, and a performance guide that stipulates how these elements should be interpreted by saxophonists.
