It means "easy-to-listen-to music." In Japan, it began to be used in place of the traditional term "mood music" around 1969. It refers to music that is pleasant to listen to, intelligent and modern. Performances by Henry Mancini and the Burt Bacharach Orchestra are good examples of this. Since then, the term has been interpreted more broadly, and is now applied not only to orchestras, but also to solo instruments and vocals.

「聞きやすい音楽」の意。日本では1969年(昭和44)ごろから、従来のムード・ミュージックにかわることばとして用いられるようになった。耳当たりがよく、知性と現代性を含んだ音楽をさす。ヘンリー・マンシーニやバート・バカラック楽団の演奏などはその好例といえよう。その後、幅広く解釈されるようになり、オーケストラだけでなく、楽器のソロやボーカルにも適用されている。 [永田文夫] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
