前高跡地・生涯学習センターでコントラバス音楽会

　今日は「立冬」です。「二十四節気」は太陽の背景にある「黄道十二星座」の星座名で決まります。

　「春分の日」が基準となり、この日の太陽の位置は「魚座」のすぐ下で、ここを赤経0度、赤緯±０度としてます。そこから東へ測って、太陽が２２５°移動した瞬間が今日の「立冬」で、ここはh１５でもあります。

　ここには「天秤座」があり、今日「立冬」の太陽の背景は「天秤座」です。紀元前の頃「天秤座」は赤道上空にあって、北半球と南半球が等しくなる位置にあったことから、この名がついたようです。現代の２１世紀は歳差運動に因り南へずれてます。

　別件です。昨日は昔の県立前橋高校の跡地の生涯学習センターで「コントラバス音楽会」があり、低音と倍音の響きという別世界の境地が楽しめました。高音域の「音程」が難しそうですが、ビブラートが入ると響きが生き生きしてきます。同時に、音色は感性によるものと感じました。大きい楽器ゆえ、運搬にご苦労でしょうが、誠に楽しい時間が過ごせました。

Dear my overseas friends who are crazy about the contrabass music

　Today is "Rittoh" that means "First day of Winter" in Japan. The "24 points in the solar calendar" are determined by the constellation names of the "12 constellations of the zodiac" in the background of the sun.

　"Vernal equinox day" is the standard, and the position of the sun on this day is just below "Pisces", where right ascension is 0 degrees and declination is ±0 degrees. Measuring east from there, the moment when the sun moves 225 degrees is today's "Rittoh", which is also h15 here.

　The constellation of "Libra" is here, therefore, today's background of the sun is "Libra". The modern 21st century is shifted due to the precession movement, but in BC, "Libra" was above the equator, and it seems that this name was given because it was situated in the center between the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere.

　"This is another matter." Yesterday, there was a "contrabass concert" at the lifelong learning center in Maebashi-city where was on the site of the former Maebashi High School, and I enjoyed the sound of bass and overtones in a different music world. The "pitch" of the high tone range seems to be difficult, but the vibrato makes the sound lively. At the same time, I felt that the timbre was made of the individual sensibility. Because it is a large instrument, it must be difficult to transport, but I had a really good time.

　The photo was taken by me before the musical performance. I found a monument on the previous site of Prefectural Maebashi High School on the premises of the Lifelong Learning Center. A monument that marks the location of former Maebashi High School. Actually, the person named Mr. Takano next to me used to be a teacher at Maebashi High School, and he was teaching here.
