NHK ラジオ番組『幼児の時間』「リズム遊び」（あそびましょう） における中田喜直・小林純一の共作（2） ─ オノマトペを軸とした楽曲分析を中心に ─

Abstract

Of the 50 songs that Nakada (composer) and Kobayashi (poet) wrote together for the NHK radio program “ASOBIMASHŌ,” 22 were performed again on the program. These can be regarded as works that were highly valued by them, or works that were well received by listeners after their first broadcast. 　　In this paper, I focused on these re-performed songs and analyzed them, focusing mainly on onomatopoeia. As a result, it became clear that the three musical features ( 1) Dynamics marks emphasize onomatopoeia. 2) The most high-pitched tone of the melody is set on onomatopoeia. 3) Articulation (staccato and accent in particular) is added to onomatopoeia.) of Nakada and Kobayashi’s works that I found in my previous research were consistent with the results of this analysis. 　　One of the new features I found in the re-performed songs is the extensive use of a writing style that imitates “WARABEUTA (Japanese children’s (folk) song),” a traditional Japanese musical scale. Although their collaborative works with the WARABEUTA style of writing were relatively popular and accepted by listeners at the time of the broadcast, they are rarely sung today (although the original WARABEUTA is still widely used in contemporary Japanese childcare settings). This is instructive in considering the transition in the acceptance of children’s songs in Japan from the postwar period to the present.departmental bulletin pape
