Japanese Folk Music
Lecture Recital from 3YA
ME. T. I. KAWASH, a young Japanese student at Linecoln College, Christchurch (where he _ is learning sheepfarming), brought with him from Tokyo a selection of the finest Japanese recordings of folk music and, using them for illustrative purposes, will give a lecture-recital at 8YA on Friday, November 20. Five recordings will be used: A tenor will sing a Qodo Tsland folk
song, "y ‘Want to Go to Sado Island, but the Sea is Very Rough."
Another number, "Street Music," is played by a trio-piano, Japanese harp and shamisen (three-s ttrin ged guitar). A "Sailor's Song" will be played by a Japanese orchestra of twenty members. The song "Green Willow" will be sung by a soprano, Mikihikari, a famous Geisha girl. This rendition has guitar and piano accompaniment with bird effects. The fifth record
will be a foxtrot arrangement of some Japanese music, played by Paul Godwin’s Orchestra.
