Composed as a ziuta pieces, i.e. witht the sangen and vocal parts by Arihara kot (d. 1867). Later several composers added their own koto parts creating several different versions. In this recording the koto part was composed by Yonekawa Kin'o (1883-1969), Yonekawa Tosiko's father. Although the title rocuses on pine trees, the song text depicts two sets of festivity symbols: the set of pine, bamboo and plum, and the set of crane and turtle. Both syamisen and koto players can demonstrate their virtuosity in the long instrumental interlude (tegoto) placed in the middle. | ||
