Only one copy located by OCLC.Gagaku is a type of Japanese classical music that was created by the fusion of music brought to Japan from continental Asia and Japanese original music and dance. It was developed as court music of the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and was established in the Heian period around the 10th century. It remains much like its 10th century iteration. In many ways it is simply the music of the Imperial Court. The popularity of gagaku reached its peak in the 9th century to the 10th century when court aristocracy began to hold private concerts, but declined in the Kamakura period (1185-1333) when the power of the court aristocracy became diminished while that of the samurai rose. Gagaku was played by musicians who belonged to hereditary guilds. During the Kamakura period, military rule was imposed and gagaku was performed rarely at court. At this time, there were three guilds, based in Osaka, Nara and Kyoto.Because of the Onin War, a civil war from 1467 to 1477 during the Muromachi period, gagaku ensembles ceased to perform in Kyoto for about 100 years. In the Edo period, the Tokugawa Shogunate revived and reorganized the court-style ensembles, the direct ancestors of the present gagaku ensembles. After the Meiji Restoration of 1868, musicians from all three guilds came to the capital and their descendants make up most of the current Tokyo Imperial Palace Music Department. Ethnomusicologist Robert Garfias worked in Japan, Korea, The Philippines, Mexico, Burma, Romania, Portugal, Puerto Rico and Turkey. He was a past President of the Society for Ethnomusicology and was appointed by the White House to the Council of the National Endowment for the Arts. …
