It is therefore thought that the tuning of the Shamisen in relation to musical intervals had a strong influence on the musical and melody structure of their folk songs as well as their range of voice. This idea is generally believed despite the fact that the use of the Shamisen did not spread throughout the islands for some time. This paper investigates the relationship between the tuning and melody structures of the Shamisen and the Hachigatsu-odori songs which do not use the Shamisen.}, pages = {129--148}, title = {奄美諸島北部民謡における声域と音階構造 : 八月踊り歌にみる旋律構造}, volume = {8}, year = {} }
