It refers to music that is more popular and mainstream than so-called classical music (art music). Originally a translation of the English term "light music," it has been used since the 1930s as a convenient general term for jazz, chanson, tango, etc., but since World War II, the terms "popular music" and "pops" have come to be used more frequently. The English term "light music" has a narrower definition than the Japanese term "light music," and refers to classical music that is popular, or popular arrangements of such music.

いわゆるクラシック音楽(芸術音楽)に対して、より通俗的、大衆的な音楽をさす。元来は英語のライト・ミュージックlight musicの訳語で、ジャズ、シャンソン、タンゴなどの便宜的な総称として、昭和10年代から用いられているが、第二次世界大戦後はポピュラー・ミュージック、ポピュラー音楽、ポップスということばのほうが多用されている。英語のライト・ミュージックは日本の軽音楽よりも狭義で、クラシック曲のなかの通俗性のある曲、またはその通俗的編曲のものなどをさす。 [永田文夫] [参照項目] |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 |
