Akebono no Shirabe (Taizan Ha)

曙の調

[Genre]Honkyoku
[School]Taizan Ha - 対山派

History (Tokuyama Takashi):

This piece may also have originated from Kyoto's temple of Meianji, yet, since many temples claim Akebono-no-shirabe as their own, it is impossible to say for certain. This piece is designated as "gekyoku" which means "leisure piece" or "music played for fun." It was most typically played by Zen monks during their leisure time, and is best performed on a shorter flute.
