Gagaku
Gagaku (雅楽, literally "elegant music") is a type of Japanese classical music that has been performed at the Imperial court for several centuries.
It consists of three primary bodies:
1. Native Shinto religious music and folk songs and dance, called kuniburi no utamai
2. A Goguryeo and Manchurian form, called komagaku (named for Koma, one of the Three Kingdoms)
3. A Chinese and South Asia form (specifically Tang Dynasty), called togaku.
Gagaku, like shomyo, employs the Yo scale, a pentatonic scale with ascending intervals of two, three, two, and two semitones between the five scale tones. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
