Gagaku was introduced from its continental birthplace to Japan between the 5th to the 9th century, becoming fused with ancient Japanese music and adopted in the Nara and Heianperiods as the traditional music of the Japanese Imperial Court, a tradition which continues to the present. Gagaku is the oldest orchestral music in the world. Narrated in English by Michael Reys and in Japanese by Shuko Hirose. \n Gagaku Performances\n \u2022Ise Shrine Jingu Autumn Kagura-sai Festival \u2022Tenri University Gagaku Music Society performing \u2022National Theatre: Imperial Household Orchestra performing \u2022Shitennoji Temple Shoryo-e Ceremony \u2022The Tennoji Gakuso Garyokai performing \u2022Kasuga Shrine Kasuga Wakamiya Festival \u2022The Nanto Gakuso \n Music\n Title: Bankaso (Gagaku Togaku style ensemble) Title: Bankaso (for reconstructed Shosoin instruments) Arranged by Sukeyasu Shiba and performed by Reirakusha \n Performers\n Chiaki Yagi (Biwa) Kahoru Nakamura (genkan) Takashi Ishikawa (u) Kahoru Nakamura (biwa) Tamami Higashino (sho) Kei YaoTani (hichiriki) Sukeyasu Shiba (ryuteki) Reimi Miura (sho) Tamami Higashino (u) Katsuhiko Tabuchi (hichiriki) Takeshi Sasamoto (haisho) Sukeyasu Shiba (yokobue) Chiaki Yagi (genkan) Yuko Hirai (so) Naoko Miyamaru (jiko) Fuyuhiko Sasaki (kugo) Kyoko Kato (hokyo) Language - English","videoId":6311368417112,"browse_view":"contentTypeBrowsePageIndexView","subscription":"bvl_musicsch","title":"Gagaku: Music For Eternity: Traditional Orchestral Music of the Japanese Imperial Court","xml_source":"bvl_musicsch_video-vra.xml","browse_search":"MG-Gagaku","videoPoster":"https://cf-images.eu-west-1.prod.boltdns.net/v1/static/4171818645001/10ba2582-5a49-4125-ad4a-e25a254d0253/cac9c479-03a7-490f-9c87-681d4dada274/1280x720/match/image.jpg","facets":"traditionalMusic , Traditional music , music , Music , beliefRitualsAndWorship , Belief, rituals and worship , heritageAndTradition , Heritage and tradition , anthropology , Anthropology , made_20102019 , 2010\u20132019 , made_2000Present , 2000\u2013present , english , English , japan , Japan , asia , Asia , origin_japan , Japan , origin_asia , Asia , video , Video ,","contenttypeorder":3,"date_of_publication":2011,"publisher":"Marty Gross Film Productions Inc.","productname":"bvl_all","id_search":"MG-Gagaku","facet":["anthropology","asia","beliefRitualsAndWorship","english","heritageAndTradition","japan","made_2000Present","made_20102019","music","origin_asia","origin_japan","traditionalMusic","video"],"contentType":"video","authors":"Takashi Yoshimura~Takashi Yoshimura~Marty Gross Film Productions Inc."}
