Samhyeon Yukgak in Seoul is an intangible cultural heritage designated as Seoul Metropolitan Government Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 44 on May 15, 2014. Samhyeon Yukgak is composed of two Piri, one Haegeum, one Daegeum, one Janggu, and one Buk, and the Piri is recognized and designated as holders of Choi Kyung-man, Haegeum Kim Moo-kyung, and Daegeum Lee Cheol-ju, and three pieces of music are handed down: Gwanak Yeongsan Hoisang, Yeombulpungryu, and Chwita Pungryu.
I recorded seven pieces of music from Daeyeongsan to Byeolgok Taryeong in <Gwanak Yeongsan Hoisang> played by Kim Moo-kyung, and used them as analysis targets to closely examine the composition of phrases and rhythms, and found the following conclusions.
First, there is a characteristic that changes from dividing the first beat into two to three. Daeyeongsan, Jungyeongsan, Jusuyeongsan, Samhyeon Dodri, and Yeombul Dodri are divided into two beats, while Samhyeon Taryeong and Byeolgok Taryeong are divided into three beats. It can be said that it suddenly changed from Samhyeon Taryeong to some people, but it is the result of a gradual or amplified beat in Samhyeon Dodri and Yeombuldodri.
Second, there are many repetitions, but there is no boredom due to repetitions. In Daeyeongsan, the same pitch always comes out and the melody at the end of each chapter comes out, except in special cases at the beginning and end of each chapter, and the melody at the end of each chapter comes out the same. Jungyeongsan does not seem to have been largely repeated, but if you look at the melody, it is inherent in repetition. Jusuyeongsan is progressing from the beginning to the reduction of
Jungyeongsan Mountain, and there is the same melody at the end of each chapter. Samhyeon Dodri has the same two and seven chapters, and the same melody comes out at the end of the other chapters except for the two chapters. Yeombuldori has the same motive in each chapter, and it is largely the same from chapter 4 to the end of Samhyeon Dodri and from chapter 4 to the end of Yeombuldori. In addition, there is a big repetition, and one verse of Samhyeon Dodri is used twice in Yeombuldodori in the same form.
Samhyeon Taryeong has repetitions in each chapter. In Byeolgok Taryeong, the same part appears symmetrically in Chapter 3, and Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 have a slight difference in length, but Chapter 1 is repeated almost the same at the end of Chapter 4. It is not boring even though it is composed of so many repetitions. In particular, in Chapter 3 of Yeombuldori, it can be seen that repetition brings diversity as it has various compositions in which major, minor, and score change while repeating one motive.
Third, the score changes. Many Korean traditional music thinks that the score does not change, but the score changes at the Gwanak Yeongsan Hoisang. This feature may be essential for our traditional music, which is melodic music. The songs that change the score in the music are Jungyeongsan, Jusuyeongsan, Yeombuldodri, and Samhyeon Taryeong, and Byeolgok Taryeong is played with completely different scores from the songs in front of Byeolgok Taryeong.
Fourth, use the 'fa' pitch. It is said that our traditional music does not use the "fa" pitch, but all but Samhyeon Dodri comes out of the "fa" pitch in the "Gwanak Yeongsan Hoisang" I wrote. However, this 'fa' pitch plays a very important role. Once the "fa" pitch comes out in each piece, it becomes unstable, and there are many cases where the melody is composed to make this unstable state a stable state. In particular, the last pitch of Byeolgok Taryeong, the last song of "Gwanak Yeongsan Hoisang," is the "fa" note. Of course, it would be reasonable to finish stably if such a long song was played, but the "fa" pitch was used. There will be various free thoughts of people about this. In my opinion, the unstable 'fa' pitch makes me infer that there may be Sun-hyun's desire to say more of the following things, to continue playing, or to continue the next generation.
As mentioned above, it can be seen that "Gwanak Yeongsan Hoisang" is a melody music with a systematic and solid composition by recording the Haegeum melody of "Gwanak Yeongsan Hoisang" and analyzing its melody.
