Keiko Naga

Japanese: 長慶子 - ちょうげいし

The title of a Japanese gagaku piece. It can also be read as "Chōgeshi." It belongs to the Tang music, Taishiki style. There is no dance. It is an orchestral piece. It is played at the end of a Bugaku performance. It is famous as a so-called postlude. In this case, it is played with a light ensemble of wind and percussion instruments, and does not include string instruments. It is said to have been composed by Minamoto no Hiromasa, a gagaku musician from the mid-Heian period, but it is unclear as it may be a small-scale version of the Chinese Changqing music (which appears in the Kyobo-ki).

日本の雅楽の曲名。「ちょうげし」とも読む。唐楽，太食 (たいしき) 調に属する。舞はない。管弦の合奏曲。舞楽公演のときに，公演のしめくくりに奏される。いわゆる後奏曲として著名。このときは，管楽器と打楽器で軽快に合奏され，弦楽器は入らない。作曲は，平安時代中期の雅楽家の源博雅と伝えられるが，中国の長慶楽 (『教坊記』にみえる) を小規模にした曲とも考えられるので，明らかでない。
