Viva Holland - Holland is full

Japanese: 阿蘭陀万歳 - オランダまんざい

Koto music. Composed by Ichiura Kengyo. This is a jiuta tanuta (traditional Japanese folk song) piece "Banzai" composed by Joshiga at the end of the 18th century, with Dutch-style koto parts added, inspired by music boxes introduced from the Netherlands. This is an important piece that is said to be the forerunner of the so-called "kaete" style koto music (kaete). There is another version of "Banzai" itself with the koto parts attached directly, and there is also a sangen kaete composed by Kikuoka Kengyo, and an ensemble that combines all of these is also performed. [Kubota Toshiko]

箏曲。市浦検校作曲。18世紀末，城志賀作曲の地歌端歌《万歳》に，オランダ渡来のオルゴールにヒントを得たオランダ調子による箏の手を付けたものをいう。いわゆる替手（かえて）式箏曲(替手)の嚆矢ともいわれる重要な曲。《万歳》そのものの箏の手はベタ付けのものが別にあり，また，菊岡検校作曲の三弦の替手もあって，それらをすべて総合した合奏も行われている。【久保田敏子】
