概要

論文の詳細を見る
The students were presented with the style names of 8 kinds of Japanese music (name only) and they also listened to the 8 styles of music (music only-no name). Their emotional impressions were then rated by using the semantic differential method based on 50 adjectives. The main findings were as follows: (a) After analysis by the R-technique three factors emerged viz. pleasure, gracefulness, forcefulness. (b) Analyzed by the Q-typing, Japanese music presented fell into three kinds, i.e. folk entertainment (e.g. festival music, popular music, children's playing songs, folk songs), art music (e.g. Koto music, Noh music, Japanese lieder) and Enka (a kind of popular ballad). (c) It was confirmed that students recognize Japanese music as possessing a sympathetic function (i.e. the power to evoke and invite participation in the hearer) and aesthetic one. They distinguish one kind of music from another according as these two functions differ in degree. They used mainly two classifications, namely, easy enjoyable music and art music and occasionally other kinds. And students' cognition of the forcefulness derived from tone volume seems to follow both functions. These findings suggest that Japanese should participate much more in folk entertainment, which is important. Furthermore some plan is needed to promote a greater appreciation of art music which has been so negatively received to date.
