Heard

Yayue tradition · prehistoric–

Nhã nhạc takes yayue’s Confucian court-and-sacrifice job — hymn, court suite, the name 雅樂 — and recodes it as a Vietnamese palace school.

Influence

Nhã nhạc

tradition · 15th century–

Also called Vietnamese court music, nha nhac

Vietnamese court ritual and banquet music, especially the Huế Nguyễn school: named suites, winds and fiddles, a Confucian court job. It hears Yayue for the sacrificial-court kit and the name 雅樂 recoded in Vietnam. Ca trù leftover as a chamber-song neighbor, not a parent. Gagaku leftover as a Japanese analogue, not a parent. Tuồng leftover as a theatre neighbor. UNESCO reconstruction leftover as later life of this school, not a child. Empty extra Received/Given is historically checked.

Mechanism

Nhã nhạc takes yayue’s Confucian court-and-sacrifice job — hymn, court suite, the name 雅樂 — and recodes it as a Vietnamese palace school. Strength medium. yayue aak is the dated 1116 Korean gift hop; this edge is the Vietnamese court recoding. Gagaku leftover as a Japanese analogue whose sounding parent is yanyue, not yayue.

Evidence

Huế court suites under the 雅樂 / nhã nhạc name; Grove on Vietnamese court music as a yayue reception.

Debate

Whether Huế music simply is Chinese yayue. The bronze-and-hymn sacrificial school remains yayue’s; the named Vietnamese court repertory is the recoding.
