Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the recitation of naniwabushi, performers do not reproduce the melodies that have been notated in advance. In this study, I examine the generative principle of ‘fushi’ (melody) in naniwabushi through an analysis based on the ‘skeletal formula’. The ‘skeletal formula’ is the tonal path of a melodic fragment that is assigned to the conceptual sentence ‘nani ga nani shite nantoyara’, which constitutes the starting, sustaining, and finishing tones. The results of the analysis are as follows: (1) Every performer semi-improvises a series of melodic fragment based on his/her characteristic ‘skeletal formula’. (2) The performers belonging to the same ‘ie’ (school) tend to use the same or similar melodic fragments in the context of ‘skeletal formula’.
