[국립국악원] 외국 작곡가를 위한 '창작을 위한 국악기 이해와 활용 2'의 영문판 파일
The
National Gugak Center (Lim Jae-won) has published an electronic book in English
for foreign composers, who are being introduced to
the Korean traditional music for the first time. This publication was preceded
by the Korean version of the "Traditional Korean Instruments: A Practical
Guide for Composers" published last year and covering 7 most used Korean traditional
instruments. This year's guidebook is aimed to give a better understanding of
the Korean traditional instruments to the foreing composers who hadn't
encountered Korean traditional music before.
7
instruments,
including Danso, Sogeum, Saenghwang, Taepyeongso,
Yanggeum, Cheolhyeonggeum and Janggu, were covered in this Practical Guide written by the
following Korean music scholars: Korean traditional music performer Yong-gu Lee
(Professor/ Danso, Department of Korean Traditional Music, Chugye University of
Arts), Young-Seop Lee (Professor/
Sogeum,
Department of Korean Traditional Music, Yeungnam University), Hyo-Young Kim
(Performer/ Saenghwang), Yoon-Kyung Jin (Professor/ Taepyeongso, Pusan National University), Myung-Seon Jeon (Member
of the Korean Classical Music Orchestra/ Yanggeum), Kyung-Hwa Yu (Professor of
Traditional Arts Department, Korea National University of Arts, Cheolhyeonggeum
and Janggu), and Hee-Seon Kim (Director of the Korean Traditional Music
Institute, National Gugak Center). The English version of the book was revised
by Anthony T. Rauche, famous American music scholar, an emeritus Professor of
the University of Hartford.
The Practical Guide covers in detail the structure,
various kinds, range and performance techniques of each of the music
instruments, using music sheets and videos. The publishers hope that this
Practical Guide would be of help to those foreign musicians, who are new to the
Korean musical instruments.
Director of the National Gugak Center Jea-won Lim
pointed out, "We hope this this electronic book becomes a useful manual for
foreign composers to better understand Korean traditional music and instruments,
and we also hope, that these composers, in turn, will help Korean music to take
its rightful place among the world’s music.”
