Kyoto Myoan-ji: TSURU-NO-SUGOMORI

1. About the title:

Please consult the section on Tsuru-no-Sugomori in "Commonly Used Titles." This piece is in the particular tradition of the Myoan Shinpo-ryu and is one type of the Tsuru-no-Sugomori pieces of the Kansai lineage.

2. Structure of the piece

It is in the dan style with three sections: [Shodan - Nidan - Sandan]. At the end of each dan the tempo relaxes and the following dan begins with various new melodic material. It is an extremely long and expansive piece; even in the middle of each dan the tempo slows down several times to create smaller dan-like forms within the main dan unit.

3. Special features of the piece:

Although it is a large scale work, the individual melodies that form its units are not at all long or complex. Rather, it is formed through the repetition and interweaving of short, simple melodies. The repetition of the same melodic patterns and the never-sluggish rhythm give birth! to a particularly pleasant lightness.
