The Music Of Japan

Japanese music is very different from the music common in Western lands. This difference can be  heard in the scales, rhythms and the sounds. In Western orchestral music, sounds from the various instruments blend to produce harmony. But in Japanese music, the instruments play separate melodies. Nevertheless, together they create an aesthetic balance.

Music Sheets:

1.  National Anthem of Japan – Kimigayo (君が代)
