The title of a Nagauta song. It was first performed in June 1873 (Meiji 6). The lyrics were by Kineya Umehiko, and the music was by Kineya Shojiro III. It is a song about the scenery of the Okawa riverbank (Sumida riverbank) in summer, and is said to have been composed to commemorate the happy union of a daughter of a boathouse in Yanagibashi and the son of a nearby second-hand clothing store, who was rescued from a double suicide. It is a short piece, but the title is well known. There is nothing particularly unique about the music, and the melody imitating "Tsukuda no Aikata" is used in the introduction and conclusion, creating a simple overall piece. The shamisen is tuned in honcho → san-gadari → honcho. [Kiyoko Moteki] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
長唄(ながうた)の曲名。1873年(明治6)6月初演。杵屋(きねや)梅彦作詞、3世杵屋正治郎作曲。夏の大川端(隅田(すみだ)河畔)の風景を歌ったものであるが、柳橋の船宿の娘と近所の古着屋の息子が心中するところを助けられ、めでたく結ばれた記念に作曲されたという。短い曲であるが、曲名はよく知られている。音楽的にはとくに独特な点もなく、「佃(つくだ)の合方(あいかた)」を模した旋律を前弾きと終結部に用いて、全体をあっさりとつくっている。三味線の調弦は、本調子→三下り→本調子。 [茂手木潔子] 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 |
