Abstract

In Japan, there is an abundance of materials related to the various genres of traditional music that were established in each of the historical periods, from ancient times to the present day, that have been handed down and preserved. After the Meiji Period (1868–1912), in which Western musical practice took root within Japan, materials related to Western music began to accumulate concurrently with those related to traditional music. The fact that up until the present day, both of these types of materials have been preserved and passed down together, is a significant and unique feature of Japan’s musical materials heritage. In this way, on account of their precious value alone, the emphasis on the preservation of these musical materials rather than their exhibition or utilization, has been strong. As a result, the complexities of the procedures for perusing and duplicating library materials up until the twentieth century have at times been a barrier to research. This situation changed dramatically at the beginning of the twenty-first century, as the National Diet Library embarked upon an ambitious programme of digitalization of and granting of access to materials in its possession. In this essay, I consider the digital materials related to the research of nineteenth century music found in the National Diet Library Digital Collections and other libraries and archives. The materials fall into four categories: (A) books (including printed scores), (B) audio materials (among which digitized 78rpm records are prevalent), (C) searchable databases and (D) other materials. I hope that the exhaustive use of these digital materials will open up new fields of research into Japanese music.
日本数字音乐素材的现状
在日本,从古代到今天,每个历史时期都有大量与各种传统音乐流派有关的材料流传下来并保存下来。明治时期(1868-1912),西方音乐实践在日本生根发芽后,与西方音乐相关的材料开始与传统音乐相关的物质同时积累。直到今天,这两种类型的材料都被保存下来并一起流传下来,这是日本音乐材料遗产的一个重要而独特的特征。这样一来,仅仅因为它们的珍贵价值,人们就强烈强调保护这些音乐材料,而不是展览或利用它们。因此,直到20世纪,阅读和复制图书馆材料的程序的复杂性有时成为研究的障碍。这种情况在21世纪初发生了巨大变化,因为国家议会图书馆开始了一项雄心勃勃的计划,对其拥有的材料进行数字化并允许访问。在这篇文章中,我考虑了在国家饮食图书馆数字藏品和其他图书馆和档案馆中发现的与19世纪音乐研究相关的数字材料。这些材料分为四类:(A)书籍(包括印刷乐谱)、(B)音频材料(其中数字化的78rpm记录很普遍)、(C)可搜索数据库和(D)其他材料。我希望这些数字材料的详尽使用将为日本音乐的研究开辟新的领域。
