Outline (in English)

Outline: This is an undergraduate-level lecture giving an overview of Japanese music from the ancient to early medieval period, while interpreting the depiction of music in classical literary works. In the autumn semester, we center on the relationship between song and music by learning about waka, saibara, rōei, and so on. We analyze the function of the words sung to the melody and the spread of the image caused by change in the lyrics, and think about the diverse and multilayered nature of song.
Goals: By the end of the course, students should have deepened their understanding of the following:
- The basics of ancient and medieval Japanese music history.
- The depiction of music in classical literary works.
- The literary and musical characteristics of ancient Japanese uta songs.
- The multilayered relationship between melody and lyrics.
Learning activities outside of classroom: Before/after each class meeting, students will be expected to spend four hours to understand the course content.
Grading Criteria/Policies: In accordance with the above goals, the following two elements will be graded:
- Subtasks/Questions (60%).
- Final report (40%).
