この曲は、作詞:高野辰之、作曲:岡野貞一によって1914 年に作られた文部省唱歌です。
当時の教科書『尋常小学唱歌』 の6 年生用に掲載されてから一気に広まり、現在では多くのアーティストが歌う他、「海外に紹介したい日本音楽」アンケートでも上位に入るなど、唱歌の代表的な曲として認知されています。
曲は3拍子で進みますが、この3拍子は賛美歌の影響とも言われていて、『宣教師が讃美歌を普及させ、後にアジア各国では伝統的な歌かが駆逐されたが、日本では讃美歌の影響を受けながら「唱歌」という新しい形の歌を誕生させた。』という研究成果も報告されています。
このアレンジはシンフォニックテイストで進みます。
各ソロは印象的に、そして後半は金管楽器に寄って奏でられる教会での賛美歌風で奏でられます。難易度も高くないので「美しきふるさと」を表現してください。
Furusato was composed by Teiichi Okano with lyrics by Tatsunori Takano in 1914 as the Japanese Ministry of Education song and became popular after it was included in the sixth grade of music text book “Primary School Song”.
This simple melody has become very popular with musicians in Japan as it is recognized as representative music of Japanese song.
It consistently receives a high ranking as “Japanese song that people wish to introduce abroad”.
Furusato falls into a category known as “Shoka”, songs typically from 1881 to 1941 used to teach children about morality and other topics in school.
Sometimes, foreign melodies were used with Japanese lyrics and sometimes both music and lyricswere composed by Japanese.
Although Furusato is entirely Japanese in origin, it is in triple time which is a very common meter for hymns and traditional songs throughout Asia.
Such is the influence of music from other lands.
This arrangement is orchestral is design, featuring a brass chorale one might expect to hear in church in the latter half.
Throughout, soloists should be prominent and great care taken to express the emotions evoked when one thinks about my “beautiful hometown”.
