경제 범패 ‘쓰는 소리’의 연행 방식 = Performance Method of ‘Quick Reading Sound’ of Buddhist Music in Seoul Region

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper aims to examine and classify the melody form and performance method of the ‘Quick reading sound’ of Buddhist music that can be observed in professional religious ceremonies performed by Beompae monks (music monks) in the Seoul region of Korean Buddhism. As research data, the author analyzed the sounds of the team led by monk Donghee and monk Inmuk, representatives of Beompae monks, a national intangible heritage, and looked into the form of the ‘Quick reading sound’ and the similarities with Buddhist music sung by ordinary monks. The results of the discussion can be summarized as follows.
‘Quick reading sound’ have about 8 melodic forms. These are not one form that can be named ‘Buddist chant’ or ‘Ordinary prayer’ but are different melodies that show changes in tempo, lyric attachment, sigma, and tonal structure.
These ‘Quick reading sound’ melodic patterns are almost identical to the sounds of Buddist chant sung by ordinary monks. The sound that a professional Beompae monk quickly reads <Geobul> and <Dage> is similar to the ‘Geobulseong’ of ‘Buddist prayer (Yeombul)’ sung by ordinary monks, and the sound that a professional Beompae monk quickly reads the prose lyrics are identical to the ‘Buddist prayer (Yeombul)’ sung by ordinary monks. It shares musical characteristics with ‘Cheokwonseong’ out of Buddist prayer (Yeombul).
The sound that a professional Beompae monk, who reads the lyrics, one letter at a time, is the same as the ‘Songjuseong’ of ‘Yeombuls’ sung by ordinary monks.
However, the sound that a professional Beompaeseung quickly reads musical pieces such as <Haengboge> and <Gayeong> was proved to be a unique melody that can only be seen when performing professional religious ceremonies.
It is possible to hypothesize that regional characteristics may have been reflected because these ‘Quick reading sounds’ show an affinity with the Buddhist chants sung in general, commercial ceremonies rather than specialized ceremonies. This is why, in addition to the study on long sounds, the study on Quick-reading sounds by region should be conducted more actively.
