Noh

Traditional Noh Theatre is very unique and is characterized by a number of specific elements. The sets are sparse, a few elements meant to remind the audience of the outdoors, where Noh Theatre was originally performed, are all that decorate the stage. In contrast the Noh performers themselves are often dressed in elaborate and often flashy costumes with very vivid masks. Noh performers have traditionally been, and still are all male. Noh performance has been a job that has been handed down from father to son, however that is not always the case now.
The musical aspect of Noh theatre is another very unique element within Noh. “Each Noh performance is accompanied by three or four traditional musical instruments and the chorus of six or eight people.” TokyoJapanGuide The Instruments can vary between performances, in one youtube example that I found, there were no actual instruments, just the chorus.
Noh Performance
The chorus is arguably the most important musical aspect to Noh theatre, and one of its most distinct features. Drums also play a large role in Noh theatre, although I have had a hard time identifying the drums used in this video, there appears to be an o-tsuzumi and a ko-tsuzumi, which are a traditional part of the Noh theatre. The drum beats by various patterns at the same time giving the drums a very layered feel. Lastly, within this video, and traditionally, a nohkan aerophone is used as a main instrumental, playing the melody.
