From Toshiba Records' \"Contemporary Japanese Music Series.\" This work, commissioned by the National Theatre in 1970 and premiered by the Music Department of the Imperial Household Agency, challenges the musical style of Gagaku, Japan's classical music. It is based on and expands upon an orchestral arrangement using traditional Gagaku instruments such as sho, hichiriki, biwa, koto, and kakko, but finds common ground between the harmonic structure of the sho's aitake and the tone cluster, a mainstream of contemporary music in the latter half of the 20th century, thus reinterpreting Gagaku under an entirely new concept. Like Toru Takemitsu's \"Autumn Garden,\" this is a masterpiece that wonderfully sublimates the heterogeneity of ethnic\/traditional music into a world of sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20260330\/OMH26010293_a1.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eJo Tōgaku\u003c\/a\u003e\u2028\u003cbr\u003eB1: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20260330\/OMH26010293_b1.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHa Rinyūgaku\u003c\/a\u003e\u2028\u003cbr\u003eB2: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20260330\/OMH26010293_b2.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eKyu Jo-buki\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"organic music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51246923415776,"sku":"OMH26010293","price":7920.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/8073\/2616\/files\/IMG_9896.jpg?v=1774779498","url":"https:\/\/organicmusic.jp\/en\/products\/toshiro-mayuzumi-showa-tempyo-raku-1","provider":"PHYSICAL STORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
