A term used in Japanese music. It refers to the hand (melody) that connects one song to the next, and is also called simply "ai." It is equivalent to an interlude in Western music. It is used to allow the singer to take a breath, to guide the rhythm and tempo of the song, and can also be used to emphasize the meaning of the lyrics. In Nagauta, a particularly long interlude is called "aikata." In Jiuta and Sokyo music, it is called "tegoto," and in Biwa music, it is called "danpo."

邦楽用語。唄(うた)と唄との間をつなぐ手(て)(旋律)のことで、単に「あい」ともいう。洋楽の間奏にあたる。唄い手の息継ぎのためのほか、唄のリズムやテンポを指導し、さらに、歌詞の意味をくみ取って強調するための場合もある。長唄では、合の手のうちとくに長いものを「合方(あいかた)」という。地唄や箏曲(そうきょく)では「手事(てごと)」とよび、また琵琶(びわ)楽では「弾法(だんぽう)」とよんでいる。 [松井俊諭] 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 |
