Alternative - Change

Japanese: 替手 - かえて
Alternative - Change
A term in Japanese music. Also called "kaede." In shamisen music such as koto, jiuta, and nagauta, this refers to a separate melody that is created to be played together with the original melody called "honte." It can be attached to the entire piece or to a part of the piece, and can be played on the same instrument or on different instruments, such as a sangen honte and a koto kaede. In koto music, if the honte is tuned to a low range and the kaede is tuned to a high range, they can be called "bass" and "high" respectively. In Yamada school koto music, some "ji" are a type of kaede. In nagauta, a kaede on a shamisen tuned to a high range using a "kase" is called "uwajoshi," and in shinnai it is called "takane."

日本音楽の用語。「かえで」ともいう。箏曲,地歌や長唄などの三味線音楽で,「本手」と称する原曲の旋律に対して,それと合奏できるように作られた別の旋律をいう。全曲につけられているものと,曲中の部分につけられているものとあり,同種の楽器によるものと,三弦の本手に対して箏の替手というように,異種の楽器による場合とがある。箏曲では,本手が低音域,替手が高音域に調弦されている場合,「低音」「高音」と称することもある。山田流箏曲でいう「地 (じ) 」には,替手の一種であるものもある。長唄における「かせ」を使用して高音域に調律した三味線による替手は「上調子 (うわぢょうし) 」と称し,新内では「高音 (たかね) 」と称する。
