During the two centuries before 841, the Japanese Court borrowed a
large amount of secular entertainment music from China, chiefly
music of the Sui and Tang Courts. This music, known as 'Tang Music'
is preserved in manuscripts written between the eighth and
thirteenth centuries and to be seen today in the library of the
Imperial Palace in Tokyo and in other Japanese libraries. This
second fascicle includes two further suites from the Ichikotsu-cho
mode-key group, namely Toraden, which probably originated in the
early eighth century, and Shunno-den, a ballet-suite believed to
have its source in a late seventh-century piece in imitation of
Cettia diphone cantans - a bush warbler with a nightingale-like
song. In addition, and continuing the study of the first fascicle,
a justified, conflated text of O-dai hajin-raku on a single stave
will be included. In the light of this, a version for performance
can be established.
