Classification of Chuseigaku
Chuseigaku is composed along with events at Konkokyo
Services.
It is roughly divided into two groups. One is the numbered
Chuseigaku and others are Netori and
Sugagaki (which are short tunes).
The numbered Chuseigaku are played by Taiko, Shoko,
Kakko, Shou, Ryuteki, Koto.
Those instruments make up the orchestra. They are played at
the beginning and end of Services and events which take a
relatively long time.
There are a wide variety of Netori and
Sugagaki which are played during events and
proceedings at Services. They are solemn and calm.
Netori is now called Tamagushi-kyoku.
Tamagushi-kyoku is played when Officiant offers
Tamagushi in the front of the altar. Tamagushi-kyoku
is played by Shou, Hichiriki, Ryuteki, and sometimes Kagura
and Wagon.
