Come on! Lets enter the wonderful world of
Korean Music. Read me now!!

Guide Card:
South Korea has a rich oral tradition consisting of lyric folk songs,
chants, myths, legends and folk tales Korean folks songs are diverse and
numerous.
Pansori, is a lengthy narrative song that runs through several
episodes. It is both spoken and sung. Korean traditional music can be divided
into 2 major categories: chong-ak and sog-ak: music for the ruling class and
for the common people.In chong-ak there are 2 different, but somewhat
related meanings. In its broader sense, the terms refer to the elegant
musical style that was considered right for the Korean ruling class in terms
of Confucian philosophy, and within this broader meaning also refers to
ensemble music for men of high social status outside of the court. In chongak three important terms a-ak, tang-ak, hyang-ak. Chong-ak and a-ak can be
used interchangeably, in their broader sense, referring to music for the ruling
class, which includes, tang-ak, hyang-ak and Confucian ritual music. In its
narrower sense a-ak refers to ritual temple music, of which at present time
only one example remains, the Munmyoak. Music perform at Munmyo, the
shrine were Confucious and his disciples are honored. Tang-ak refers to
secular music of both the Chinese Tang and Sung dynasties which was
altered to become court music after its introduction to Korea. Hyang-ak

means native Korean music, an example of which Sujechon, a piece of

instrumental music often claimed to be at least 1300 years old.
Court music a subcategory of chong-ak, includes 3 types:
ritual, banquet and military music. Ritual music includes Confucian music
and royal shrine music, while banquet music is music for courtly banquet.
Sujechon is 1 of its best example.
Glissando and vibrato are some of the strong characteristics of
Korean music. It is referred to as its dynamic nature, not only as an
expressive touch but as an essential element of Korean tune.
Glissando
in Korean music not only determines the mode but also if the music is folk or
upper class. It is the effect produced by sliding the finger rapidly up or down
a string or keyboard.In glissando, the musicality and character of the
performer is felt and so it Is an important features which makes Korean
music different from other Western traditions.Therefore,an instrument like
the piano,cannot give the faintest impression of true Korean music even if
tuned to Korean interval.
Vibrato is a slight, rapid vibration of pitch that is used to add
warmth and color to a musical tone.
Like the Ya-yiieh of China, the court music of Korea called the
chong-ak has two kinds.The first is the aak which is performed inside the
palace and the second is mingan chong-ak which is performed outside.
An example of a chong-ak is the Sujechon, an instrumental
composition.It has a slow tempo and irregular meter and the main melody is
played by the piri, an oboe-type instrument made of bamboo.

Korean musical instruments;

1.Changgo-an hourglass-shaped drum; the left hand strikes the left side while
the right hand is striking the other side with a stick.
2.Haegum-a two-stringed instrument made o bamboo.
3.Komunggo-similar to the koto of Japan.This serves as the principal
instrument for a smaller group of players.
4.Kayagum-an instrument with 12 strings which is also similar to the koto of
Japan and chin of China.

5.Ching-a huge gong played by means of a padded stick.

6.Piri-similar to oboe,made of bamboo, cylindrical in shapeand played by

into;

Membranophones or skinned instruments

Choson, meaning Land of the Morning Calm,is the name given to

Korea.Sog-ak is the music of the common people.It is usually lively and
portrays the life of ordinary people.It is the folk music of Korea.Chong-ak has
also a vocal form.There are three:the kasa,a long narrative song;kagok,a
lyrical song;and the sijo, a short lyrical music.The sijo is the simplest among
the three and it consists of three lines per stanza.It has an irregular rhythm
and the melody is melismatic.It is usually accompanied by the changgo.
The sog-ak includes the music of the Buddhist and Shaman.It also
includes the music of farmers called nong-ak, songs for drama called
pansori, music for a solo instrument called sanjo and their folk song
minyo.The minyo is a song of the ordinary people which is usually in triple
