Abstract
Nō and kyōgen (collectively called nōgaku by scholars) possess unique musical characteristics that have been studied and theorized intensively. 2 Contemporary Japanese music writers, including musicologists, sometimes use compound terms nō no ongaku (music of nō), and kyōgen no ongaku (music of kyōgen) to refer to the musical aspects of this theatre.
