Shima no Senzai
Composed in 1904 by V Kineya Kangoro
Congratulatory dance "Shima no Senzai" is one of the most refined auspicious Naga-uta shamisen piece. Often performed on New Year's Day or happy occasions. Nyoden Otsuki wrote this poem, inspired from pictorial art on a fan of one sacred crane dancing around on a rock in the ocean. This dance depicts a delicate figure of sacred crane, dancing against the golden sun-rising above the horizon of the ocean, this means, wishing good luck and many happiness to you.
島の千歳
作曲年代:明治37年、作曲:五代目杵屋勘五郎、作詞:大槻如電
小鼓一丁との打ち合わせが面白く、荘重典雅な長唄の祝儀曲。如電翁所蔵の扇面に描かれた、大海に小さな岩、そして丹頂鶴が舞い遊び、月が出ている図からヒントを得、この歌詞を作られたものと伝えられ、祝賀の曲としての縁起も充分に考慮された長唄名曲のひとつ、また舞踊としても立烏帽子に水干・直垂で舞う品格のある舞。
