Japanese: 宮廷音楽 - きゅうていおんがく(英語表記)Hofmusik; court music
Hofmusik; court music
Music performed at the imperial court under the protection of the court. Since the Middle Ages, the courts of Europe have played an important role in the development of music, influencing each other along with the church as important players in music. Records date back to ancient Rome, but its earliest flowering in music history can be seen in secular songs by troubadours and troubadours. Since then, many works have been created, including French chansons and Italian madrigals during the Renaissance, and the splendid operas and ballets of the Baroque era, as well as music for banquets. In contrast to the mystical sublimity of church music, court music was characterized by secular familiarity and a display of power. With the rise of the middle class in the 18th and 19th centuries, court music gradually lost its influence. Court music in China, Korea, and Japan is called gagaku.

宮廷の保護のもとに宮廷で行われていた音楽。ヨーロッパ各地の宮廷は中世以来教会とともに音楽の重要なにない手として相互に影響し合いながら音楽の発展に貢献した。記録のうえでは古代ローマから記述がみられるが,音楽史においてその最も古い開花はトルバドゥールやトルベールなどの世俗歌曲にみられる。以来,ルネサンス時代のフランスのシャンソンやイタリアのマドリガル,バロック時代の華麗なオペラやバレエ,祝宴の音楽など数多く生れた。教会音楽の神秘的な崇高さに対して,宮廷音楽は世俗的な親しみやすさと権勢の誇示を特色とした。 18~19世紀にかけて市民階級の進出とともに,宮廷音楽は次第に力を失っていった。中国,朝鮮,日本の宮廷音楽は雅楽と呼ばれている。
