Tang-era piece: He Wang En
《賀王恩》
compiled by David Badagnani (rev. 23 July 2023)
In an effort to make this information more accessible, this document contains resources related to the Tang-era piece entitled He Wang En《賀王恩》, which exists in the form of instrumental parts for a single-movement piece in the Mixolydian mode on E, called Dashi diao (大食調) in Chinese or Taishiki-chō (太食調) in Japanese.
As preserved in Sino-Japanese sources, this piece is called Ka-ō-on『賀王恩（かおうおん）』, and it appears in the following score collections:
1) and 2) Sango Yōroku and Jinchi Yōroku, both of which were compiled in the late 12th century
3) Rosei Yōroku『蘆聲要録』(perhaps 1661)
The list of "Tang music" pieces prepared by the Japanese flute player Heguri no Hideshige (平群秀茂) that appears in his Sango Hishō『三五秘抄』(928) lists He Wang En as a po (破, "broaching") movement in Dashi diao (大食調), called Taishiki-chō (太食調) in Japanese.
