  "lineage": "Japanese Noh utai sung-and-chanted vocal tradition of the canonical Noh theatre form, codified in the fourteenth-fifteenth centuries by Zeami Motokiyo (1363-1443). Performance integrates the male shite-actor's utai chant (the central narrative-and-character voice) with the jiutai chorus (typically eight male singers seated stage-right), supported by the hayashi instrumental ensemble (nohkan flute, ko-tsuzumi shoulder-drum, o-tsuzumi hip-drum, taiko stick-drum). Vocal architecture features extremely slow tempi, characteristic narrow-range melodic vocabulary in the yowagin \"weak-style\" and tsuyogin \"strong-style\" registers, with strictly codified breath-pause and vibrato conventions.",
