Awasebuki - Awasebuki

Japanese: 合ワセ吹キ - あわせぶき

...A certain melody pattern is played in succession, and the basic fingering is also fixed, but the performer uses various decorative fingering (index finger). There are two types of ensemble: Awasewase, which plays in a rhythm determined by the beat, and Ashirai, which plays in a rhythm not determined by the beat. Both are used in ensembles that are in four beats only, and Ashirai is the only accompaniment to chanting. When the final note of each phrase in the basic melody is played through two finger holes (three in the Morita style) closest to the mouthpiece, it is called Oushiki-cho, and this is the basic style, but there are also pieces in Banshiki-cho, which play through the single hole closest to the mouthpiece....

From 【Hayashi】

...Except for Shiki Sanban (Okina), each piece is composed of one person for each instrument, but depending on the piece, there are "daishomono" (large small items) that do not include drums, and "taikomono" (taiko drums) that do. There are two ways of playing hayashi: "Awasefuki" (awasefuki, awasefuki), which is played to a clear rhythm, and "Ashirai noho" (ashirai fuki, ashirai uchi), which is played freely within a certain range without a strong sense of rhythm. Awasefuki for the flute is a playing style used only for hayashigoto, and there are three rhythmic patterns: normal beats, cross beats, and mixed beats.

*Some of the terminology that refers to "Awase Fuki" is listed below.

…一定の旋律型を吹き連ね，基本的な指使いも定まっているが，奏者によって装飾的指使い(差し指)がさまざまに行われる。拍に規定されたリズムで吹く合ワセ吹キと，拍に規定されないリズムのアシライ吹キがあり，四拍子（よひようし）のみの合奏には両者が用いられ，謡（うたい）の伴奏はアシライ吹キだけである。旋律の基本の地における各句の終止音が，歌口に近い指孔二つ(森田流は三つ)をおさえた音であるものを黄鐘（おうしき）調といい，これが基本であるが，歌口に最も近い1孔をおさえる盤渉（ばんしき）調の曲もある。…

【囃子】より

…《式三番》(《翁》)を除いて1楽器1人で構成されるが，演目によって太鼓の加わらない〈大小物（だいしようもの）〉と，太鼓の加わる〈太鼓物〉がある。　囃子の奏法には，明確なリズムにのって奏する〈合ワセル奏法〉(合ワセ吹キ，合ワセ打チ)と，リズム感を際立たせずに一定の範囲で自由に奏する〈アシライノ奏法〉(アシライ吹キ，アシライ打チ)とがある。笛の合ワセ吹キは囃子事だけに用いられる奏法で，並拍子，渡り拍子，混合拍子の三つのリズム型がある。…
