Oroshi

Japanese: オロシ

One of the sections of Gidayu-bushi. Usually written as "Fushi". It is used for solemn sentences that emphasize emotion, and has a heavy melody second only to O-otoshi. It is mainly used in historical pieces. The oroshi in the daijo (the beginning of the entire act) is specifically called o-oroshi, which is long and relaxed, and is written as "oroshi" only in this case. There is a melody called oroshikakari that is very similar to oroshi, but it is not as heavy as oroshi.

Japanese:

義太夫節の節章の一つ。通常，記譜は「フシ」とする。情を強調する荘重な文章につけられ，大オトシに次ぐ重厚な旋律。主として時代物に用いられる。大序 (全段の発端) のオロシは特に大オロシといい，長くゆったりとしたもので，これに限り「オロシ」と記譜する。オロシによく似た曲節にオロシカカリがあるが，オロシほど重くない。
