Karyobin

Japanese: 迦陵頻 - かりょうびん
Karyobin

The name of a Gagaku piece. It is also called "Karyobinga" or "Fugonraku." It is a Gagaku piece from the Tang Dynasty, and includes both Bugaku and Kangen. It is one of the eight pieces of music from the Linyu School. The original is Ichikotsucho. There are two transposition pieces (a kind of transposition piece) in Sojo with Ha and Kyu, and in Oushikicho with Kyu, which are called Toriha and Kyu. The dance is Dobu, a dance for four children. Karyobinka has been seen in books since the Heian period as a sacred bird of paradise that sings a heavenly song, but in this piece, the bird flew from paradise on the day of the memorial service at Gion Shoja and danced, and Myoonten created a musical dance to convey to Ananda. The young dancers wear crowns decorated with red plum blossoms on their heads and colorful feathers on their backs that imitate birds, and dance while holding and beating copper clappers in both hands. This dance, along with the pair dance "Kocho," is loved for its lovely dancing form.

Japanese:

雅楽の曲名。「迦陵頻伽(かりょうびんが)」「不言楽(ふごんらく)」ともいう。雅楽の唐楽曲で、舞楽・管絃(かんげん)両方がある。林邑(りんゆう)八楽の一つ。壱越調(いちこつちょう)が原曲。双調(そうじょう)に破と急、黄鐘調(おうしきちょう)に急の渡物(わたしもの)(一種の移調曲)があり、これらは鳥破(とりのは)・急などとよぶ。舞は童舞(どうぶ)四人舞。迦陵頻伽は天来の妙音をさえずる極楽の霊鳥として平安時代より書物にみられるが、この楽曲では、祇園精舎(ぎおんしょうじゃ)の供養の日に極楽からその鳥が飛んできて舞い遊んだので、そのようすを妙音天が楽舞に仕立て阿難尊者(あなんそんじゃ)に伝えたという伝説がある。舞人の稚児(ちご)たちは、頭上には紅梅で飾った天冠(てんがん)、背には鳥をまねた極彩色の羽をつけ、両手に銅拍子(どびょうし)を持って打ち鳴らしつつ舞う。同じ童舞である番舞(つがいまい)の『胡蝶(こちょう)』とともにその可憐(かれん)な舞い姿が愛されている。
