The series of volumes of Music from the Tang Court considers a
repertory of music at least 1400 years old. During the two
centuries before 841 the Japanese Court borrowed a large amount of
secular entertainment music from China. This 'Tang Music' (Togaku)
survives in Japan in a substantial body of manuscripts, but is
transformed in character in contemporary performance. This edition
transcribes and comments on the music as it survives in its
earliest sources. This process has revealed surprising evidence for
ancient interconnections in Asian musics, and the essays in this
seventh volume present aspects of this research to date. They
provide evidence, for example, of music in a scale of four notes
only from Bali and from Ancient China, as well as, most
significantly, for the transportation from the Tang capital to
Japan of 'several tens of scrolls of music in tablature'.
