SUZURU or SOKAKU（Godan Sugomori）［巣鶴（五段巣籠）］ ／ 谷口嘉信

SUZURU or SOKAKU (Godan Sugomori) / TANIGUCHI, Yoshinobu

A piece of the highest level difficulty among the Koden Honkyoku
works, depicting the life cycle of a crane; its arrival by flight,
courtship, nesting, laying eggs, brooding, growth, fluttering of the
wings, and fledging, by using sound patterns unique to the shakuhachi.
There are about ten different types of piece called “Tsuru no
Sugomori,” of which Godan Sugomori divides the crane’s cry into 5
types which are played differently depending on the scene.
As an aside, parent cranes in order to encourage fledging will
decrease the amount of feed and frequently peck the young birds into
independence. Some parent cranes abandon the young birds into
independence.

Performed at Warner Concert Hall, Oberlin Concervatory in 1984
Shakuhachi: TANIGUCHI, Yoshinobu (Kinko-ryu Senshinkutsu Grand Master)

尺八独特の音型を使いながら鶴の飛来、求愛、巣作り、出産、子育て、成長、羽ばたき、巣立ちと一生を表現する古伝本曲で、最至難曲です。
「鶴の巣籠」と称される曲には約十種類があります。その中でも五段巣鶴は鶴の鳴き声を5種類に分け、それぞれの情景を吹き分けています。
余談ですが、鶴は若鳥の独立を促すため、給餌を減らし、頻繁に突っつきを繰り返して、子別れをします。子を置き去りにして子別れをする親鳥もいます。

1984年、オバーリン音楽院／ワーナー・コンサートホールで演奏
尺八演奏：谷口嘉信（琴古流洗心窟大師範）
