Gagaku Concert!

こんにちは！きょうががくのコンサートにいきました！I really enjoyed the traditional Japanese music! My favorite instrument was the Sho, which sounded like or organ and played chords throughout all of their pieces. The Sho player must have had a lot of breath support to hold out those notes so long wow! The sound of the Sho throughout all their pieces put me in a very ephemeral state of mind. While complementing the sound of the Japanese flutes, it also served as the backbone of the flute section while still sounding unique and important. The handout says that the Sho represents the transcendence into heaven and the sound of the Sho (at least for me) truly put me in a heavenly or spiritual comma. Here is a picture of me with the Gagaku performers!
