Mama River - Mama River

Japanese: ままの川 - ままのかわ

Title of a jiuta/koto song. Kyoto-style tegotomono. Collaborative work by Kikuoka Kengyo and Matsuno Kengyo. It is believed that Kikuoka Kengyo composed the shamisen and Matsuno Kengyo composed the koto. The lyrics were written by Miyakoshi Yumecho. The lyrics use a word related to the river to describe the painful love of a prostitute, which is neither a dream nor the worldly, and end with the song "Mama no kawa" (mama's river), meaning that she can be as she pleases. The name of the lyricist is included in the lyrics "Yume tefu kuraku". The composition is introductory - introductory song - tegoto (tegoto/chirashi) - post-uta (back song). The opening is not clear, and the chirashi is short. Although it is a tegotomono, the song has a mysterious charm. The shamisen is played in niagari. The koto is played in hiragana. The opening of this song is sung by Sawaichi at the beginning of "Sawaichi no dan" in the Gidayu-bushi "Tsubosaka Miracle Record."

地歌・箏曲の曲名。京風手事物。菊岡検校と松野検校の合作。三弦を菊岡検校，箏を松野検校が作曲したと思われる。作詞は宮腰夢蝶。詞章は，夢とも浮世ともつかない遊女のせつない恋心を川の縁語で綴りながら，ままになれという意味を込めて「ままの川」と歌いおさめる。詞章の「夢てふ廓」に作詞者の名前が詠み込まれている。構成は，前弾き－前歌－手事 (手事・チラシ) －後歌。マクラが明瞭ではなく，チラシも短い。手事物ではあるが幽艶な歌に味わいがある。三弦は二上り。箏は平調子。なお，義太夫節『壺坂霊験記』の「沢市内の段」の最初で沢市が歌うのは，この曲の冒頭である。
