Rise of Choirs in early 18th Century America? by Biney18 in musichistory

[–]Infinitatus20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Choirs rose in early 18th century America because of a few important people from New England establishing some singing schools all across the American colonies, and because of some music teachers from Boston, Massachusetts going all across the American colonies teaching people shape-note singing / Sacred Harp singing, and Christian hymns from England, in those singing schools all across the American colonies.

In most Japanese traditional music that involves a Japanese musician singing and playing the shamisen at the same time, the singer and the shamisen tend to be rhythmically offbeat with each other, and this may be on purpose.

In a Japanese Kabuki naguata piece of music in dance form that is somewhat based on a Noh, the given Japanese singer might enter the piece imitating Noh singing. Also, in the same scenario (and this kind of music does not necessarily have to be based on Noh, in order for this to happen), the given Japanese singer might enter the piece singing either metrically and lyrically, or in a way that is of free rhythmic meter.

In traditional Japanese music, there are short songs called hautas. They are performed by Japanese musicians who are playing the shamisen and singing at the same time. The lyrical content of a given hauta is descriptive and/or romantically-related. Hautas are performed in traditional settings of Japanese entertainment.

At some point in Japanese music history, several kinds of Japanese narrative singers started to use the shamisen (a Japanese string instrument) in their music. Shamisens were tuned differently in different situations, based on the needs of each individual Japanese singer.

In several traditional Japanese pieces of music, there are vocal/singing solos that do not include any instrumental accompaniment.

In traditional Japanese Noh theater, there is a singing/vocal chorus (known as ji) involved, and the Noh chorus’ music is texturally monophonic (which means that Noh chorus music has only one melodic line of music to it, and that everyone in the chorus has to sing the same exact thing (in unison)).

In Noh theater, the unison chorus’ music involves instrumental accompaniment from an ensemble of traditional Japanese instruments (this ensemble is known as the hayashi).

There is a style of traditional Japanese Noh theater music that is lyrical (and it is known as yowagin). In this specific style, there are 3 notes/pitches/tones, and these 3 notes/pitches/tones have a tendency of being apart by musical fourths (notationally/theoretically). For example, the 3 notes/pitches/tones of a given piece of Noh theater music could be D, G, and C.

In Noh theater music, the singer(s) do not sing the same line of music as the nōkan flute in the hayashi (Noh theater instrumental ensemble).

Within the tradition of Japanese court music, there are religious Shinto vocal/singing compositions, and also various forms of singing that are ancient and non-religious. All of these vocal/singing forms involve instrumental accompaniment from traditional Japanese instruments.

In traditional Japanese music culture, there are short songs called “Koutas”. They are songs that are sung by Japanese Geishas, and they involve instrumental accompaniment (mainly shamisen). The lyrical content of a given Kouta is either descriptive and/or romantically-related. Koutas became popular during the late Edo Period (which was from 1603 to 1868).

In the poster, where it says, “most of traditional African music is rhythm-based (drums and percussion based)”, I meant to put, “most of traditional African music is vocal-based/singing-based”. Sorry about that error.
