Pick-up - Wide

Japanese: 拾イ - ひろい
Pick-up - Wide
One of the names of the musical components of Heikyoku. It tells the heroic story of a battle scene, and does not use a particularly high range like sanjuu (three-note), but uses a syllabic melody with melisma (vocal style in which one note is assigned to one syllable) decoration sung with strong breath to build up the atmosphere and form the climax of the piece. The biwa hand in the prelude to this part is also called 'tsukei', and prepares the narration with a crisp double-string technique and strong use of the plectrum.

平曲の楽曲構成部分の名称の一つ。合戦の場面を勇壮に語るもので,三重(さんじゆう)のような特別な高音域は用いないが,メリスマ(1音節に多数の音符をあてる声楽様式)的装飾を織り込んだシラビック(1音節に1音符をあてる声楽様式)な旋律を,強い息で語って雰囲気を盛り上げ,一曲のクライマックスを形成する。この部分の前奏の琵琶の手も拾イといい,歯切れのよい複弦奏法と,強い撥(ばち)扱いとによって,語りの用意をする。
