Fushi (joint) - Joint

Japanese: フシ(節) - ふし
Fushi (joint) - Joint
A theoretical term in Japanese music. It is a concept that is mainly used in relation to vocal melody, and is not often used in relation to musical instruments. It has various meanings depending on the field and the occasion. First, in the broadest sense, it refers to the melody in relation to the words, or the vocal parts in relation to the instrumental parts. This is what is meant by fushi when talking about stanzas. Next, in Noh chanting, the parts that are composed musically, that is, the yowagin and tsuyogin parts, are called fushi. In this case, it refers to the uncomposed kotoba. In vocal melodies, particularly beautifully composed melodies can also be called fushi, and in Heikyoku, a piece that aims to feature such melodies is called a setsubono.

Japanese:
日本音楽の理論用語。主として声の旋律に対する概念で,楽器に関してはあまり用いない。分野や場合によって,さまざまな意味がある。まず,もっとも広義には詞章に対する旋律,あるいは楽器の声部に対する声の声部をいう。節付けなどというときのフシがこれである。次に,能の謡(うたい)では,音楽的に作曲されている部分,すなわちヨワ吟とツヨ吟の部分をフシという。この場合は,作曲されていないコトバに対する。また声楽旋律としても,とくに美しく作曲されている旋律をフシということがあり,平曲ではそのような旋律を聴かせることを眼目にした演目を節物という。
