  • Exploring Aspects of Korean Traditional Music in Young Jo Lee's
    EXPLORING ASPECTS OF KOREAN TRADITIONAL MUSIC IN YOUNG JO LEE’S PIANO HONZA NORI Jin Kim, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2013 APPROVED: Adam Wodnicki, Major Professor Elvia Puccinelli, Committee Member Joseph Banowetz, Committee Member Steven Harlos, Chair of the Division of Keyboard Studies John Murphy, Interim Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Kim, Jin. Exploring Aspects of Korean Traditional Music in Young Jo Lee’s Piano Honza Nori. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2013, 29 pp., 4 tables, 9 figures, 13 musical examples, bibliography, 32 titles. Since the 1960s, several gifted Korean composers, including perhaps most notably Young Jo Lee (b. 1943), have been internationally acclaimed for their work. In Western countries, however, there has been a scarcity of academic studies examining the artistry of the music of these Korean composers. Nonetheless, as one of today’s most recognized composers in Korea, Young Jo Lee has been invited to numerous international concerts, conferences, and festivals where his works have been played and discussed. A salient feature of his compositions is the fusion of Korean traditional music and the elements of Western compositions, such as in, for one distinctive example, his piano composition, Piano Honza Nori. This musical study describes and analyzes how Lee integrates Korean traditional elements with Western musical ideas in Piano Honza Nori. Results of this study will contribute to the limited literature on the analysis of contemporary piano composition that integrates Korean traditional elements.

  • Korean Dance and Pansori in D.C.: Interactions with Others, the Body, and Collective Memory at a Korean Performing Arts Studio
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: KOREAN DANCE AND PANSORI IN D.C.: INTERACTIONS WITH OTHERS, THE BODY, AND COLLECTIVE MEMORY AT A KOREAN PERFORMING ARTS STUDIO Lauren Rebecca Ash-Morgan, M.A., 2009 Directed By: Professor Robert C. Provine School of Music This thesis is the result of seventeen months’ field work as a dance and pansori student at the Washington Korean Dance Company studio. It examines the studio experience, focusing on three levels of interaction. First, I describe participants’ interactions with each other, which create a strong studio community and a women’s “Korean space” at the intersection of culturally hybrid lives. Second, I examine interactions with the physical challenges presented by these arts and explain the satisfaction that these challenges can generate using Csikszentmihalyi’s theory of “optimal experience” or “flow.” Third, I examine interactions with discourse on the meanings and histories of these arts. I suggest that participants can find deeper significance in performing these arts as a result of this discourse, forming intellectual and emotional bonds to imagined people of the past and present. Finally, I explain how all these levels of interaction can foster in the participant an increasingly rich and complex identity.

  • In Tune with the Ear of the Public Kayagŭm and the Status of Traditional Korean Music in the Twenty-First Century in Korea
    Situations Vol. 5 (Winter 2011) © 2011 by Yonsei University Sunghee Pak (Yonsei University) In Tune with the Ear of the Public Kayagŭm and the Status of Traditional Korean Music in the Twenty-First Century in Korea Every Thursday, I visit Gahwae-dong (Kahoe-dong) in central Seoul, a locale with many traditional Korean houses, to take my weekly kayagŭm lesson. Kayagŭm is a traditional Korean musical instrument with twelve silk strings, which dates back to A.D. 551 (Hwang, Chimhyang-moo 9). It has been several years since I first started learning it, but before I took my first lesson, I had never seen a kayaŭm, apart from a few pictures in the music text book in middle school. Many people in Korea nowadays are not familiar with their traditional musical instruments. Though kayagŭm and kŏmun’go play the most important role in any Korean ensemble, as equivalents of the violin in Western classical orchestra, not many people have seen them up close. During the 1980s and 1990s, Korean classical music experienced a revival, and there have been several attempts to inform the public about this. These attempts achieved some fruit but there are still more to be done in promoting the essence of traditional Korean music. Until the 1990s, traditional Korean music—kugak, in Korean—conveyed an image of something old, decayed, and outdated. People vaguely knew that the tradition was worth keeping, but whereas Western piano or violin were thought to be elegant, and Western pop music such as the Beatles was treated as a symbol of youth and freedom, kugak, was very far from being considered chic.

  • No. 22 How Did North Korean Dance Notation Make Its Way to South
    School of Oriental and African Studies University of London SOAS-AKS Working Papers in Korean Studies No. 22 How did North Korean dance notation make its way to South Korea’s bastion of traditional arts, the National Gugak Center? Keith Howard http://www.soas.ac.uk/japankorea/research/soas-aks-papers/ How did North Korean dance notation make its way to South Korea’s bastion of traditional arts, the National Gugak Center? Keith Howard (SOAS, University of London) © 2012 In December 2009, the National Gugak Center published a notation for the dance for court sacrificial rites (aak ilmu). As the thirteenth volume in a series of dance notations begun back in 1988 this seems, at first glance, innocuous. The dance had been discussed in relation to the music and dance at the Rite to Confucius (Munmyo cheryeak) in the 1493 treatise, Akhak kwebŏm (Guide to the Study of Music), and had also, as part of Chongmyo cheryeak, been used in the Rite to Royal Ancestors. Revived in 1923 during the Japanese colonial period by members of the court music institute, then known as the Yiwangjik Aakpu (Yi Kings’ Court Music Institute), the memories and practice of former members of that institute ensured that the music and dance to both rites would be recognised as intangible cultural heritage within the post-liberation Republic of Korea (South Korea), with Chongymo cheryeak appointed Important Intangible Cultural Property (Chungyo muhyŏng munhwajae)1 1 in December 1964 and a UNESCO Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage in 2001, and the entire Confucian rite (Sŏkchŏn taeje) as Intangible Cultural Property 85 in November 1986.2 In fact, the director general of the National Gugak Center, Pak Ilhun, in a preface to volume thirteen, notes how Sŏng Kyŏngnin (1911–2008), Kim Kisu (1917–1986) and others who had been members of the former institute, and who in the 1960s were appointed ‘holders’ (poyuja) for Intangible Cultural Property 1, taught the dance for sacrificial rites to students at the National Traditional Music High School in 1980.

Do you know what Koreans think of and what makes them laugh and advance? And do you know how high their cultural as well as ideological level is? You would not know, but pretend to know with an aim to set afloat false rumors. Distortion, however, can not cover truth. I have visited Korea many times. So, I believe that I know the noble traits of Koreans better than anybody else.

  • From World War to Cold War: Music in US-Korea Relations, 1941-1960
    From World War to Cold War: Music in US-Korea Relations, 1941-1960 Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Hye-jung Park Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 Committee: Danielle Fosler-Lussier, Ph.D., Advisor Ryan T. Skinner, Ph.D. Mitchell B. Lerner, Ph.D. Copyright by Hye-jung Park 2019 Abstract This dissertation examines music in US-Korea relations from 1941 to 1960. Beginning during World War II, the US government disseminated Western classical and American music in Korea. After the war, the United States also gained the confidence of Koreans by supporting Korean traditional music that had been suppressed under Japanese colonial rule. Yet South Koreans were not merely passive recipients of US propaganda. As the Korean War divided Korea into North and South, South Korean officials used music to affirm the anti-Communist alliance between South Korea and the United States. American music spread rapidly in South Korea, contributing to the formation of South Korean identities different from those of the Communist North. By tracing a history of musical relations in the transitional period from the colonial era to the early Cold War, this project emphasizes that US Cold War music propaganda programs were not an entirely new initiative but built on the foundations laid in the 1940s. By demonstrating that a peripheral country used music as a tool for political negotiations with a superpower, this project also expands the horizons of scholarship on music propaganda, which has focused overwhelmingly on US and Soviet interventions in Europe.
