This is Noh and it is from Japan. It is Noh and not other forms of Japanese because there is no scenery, and there are limited props used.
The instruments used are the fue (flute), the kotsuzumi (shoulder drum), and the the ōtsuzumi (hip drum). They form the hayashi.
For the fue, it is the only one with a melody. In performance, the fue is creates a sound that will ornament the singing and to help express the feelings of the shite. (The fue is also unique in a sense because in noh, rhythm is in some ways more important than melody. It is this emphasis on rhythm rather than melody that makes the fue unique.)
The kotsuzumi and the ōtsuzumi are drums which are hit by the players. It is the sound of hitting the drum is not the only way to keep rhythm in noh. The contrasting sound of the soft kotsuzumi with the sharp ōtsuzumi creates a harmony on stage though.
This video has a rather slow tempo and a rather monotonous melody (which is the chanting by the chorus) which mostly consists of Japanese words sung over many beats. It also has a steady rhythm which remains unchanged during the whole video.
This is noh theater as the instrumeents provide a rhythmic background, with dialogue and action. They also set the pitch for the chorus, and there is hardly any scenery with little props used. This is a flute and drum ensemble and it is called the hayashi ensemble.
The kotsuzumi and otsuzumi are used and rhythm is very important in noh music, and these 2 drums are used for keeping rhyrthm. They produce distinct and sharp sounds that stands out in the music.
The nohkan creates a piercing sound that accompanies the singing. It is in a way also used for rhythm, and plays along with the drums.
This piece of music has a slow tempo, which starts out by the drums playing,and the nohkan comes in the middle, and it ends with only the 2 drums again. The singing is derives from a buddhist chant and is sung by the chorus, being solemn and slow, with the articulation of every textual syllable.
This is a piece from Japan. The genre would be Noh threatre, as it uses limited props, and there is no scenery.
There are 3 main instruments that form the hayashi ensemble. They are the Nohkan, which is a flute that aoccompanies the singing and plays the melody. Ko-tsuzumi, which is the shoulder drum, and the O-tsuzumi, which is the hip drum. Both drums provide a rhythmic background.
The tempo is slow and the hayashi chants monotonously. in the start, the 2 drums only play along with the chanting, and in the middle, the flute started to play, and in the end, only the 2 drums.
This video shows a piece that is taken from Japan. Its genre is the Noh Theatre. The characteristics can be seen from the limited props and absence of scenery except for pine trees in this video, and also the restrained movements of the actor. The stage used is one that is used in the Noh Theatre.
The instruments here consists of the Hayashi, which is the flute and drum ensemble made up of the Ko-tsuzumi, O-tsuzumi, Taiko, and the taiko. Another instrument that is used is the Nohkan, which is a transverse flute. However, the Taiko was not played in this video, although the Taiko and the musician was present. The Ko-tsuzumi and O-tsuzumi were both providing a regular beat to this piece, whereas the Nohkan is only present in a short period in the middle of the entire piece, that accompanies the melody of that part of the piece.
This piece is extremely slow and solumn, and every syllable of the vocal music (Yokuoku) is articulated.The tempo of the piece was roughly the same throughout the entire video, with a monophonic texture.
