문묘제례악 소(簫)의 유입과 변화에 관한 역사적 고찰

Abstract

This paper deals with three issues related to influx and change of the Confucian Shrine Ritual Music. First, the musical instrument of the Akhakgwebeom-wooden frame-form used in the current Confucian Shrine Ritual Music is not a form that came in when the Daesung-Aak of the Song Dynasty was introduced in 1116, but it is a Yuan Dynasty form brought from the Ming Dynasty, in the 19th year of King Kongmin. In the Song Dynasty of the Goryeo Yejong era, when Daesung-Aak came in, there was not yet ‘Baeso’, a musical instrument of the Akhakgwebeom form, which first appeared in the Yuan Dynasty. A new musical instrument named ‘Baeso’ appears with the ‘So’ in the later period of King Gongmin, and it is very likely that this ‘Baeso’ is the musical instrument of the present Akhakgwebeom form. Second, although the form of the ‘So’ in the Joseon Dynasty recorded in the Akhakgwebeom was followed by the Chinese one, but the pitch and arrangement are the one of the pitch of ‘12 Yul and 4 Cheongseong’ and the arrangement of the pitch from left to right. Third, in the 1930s, the whole form was the same as that of the Akhakgwebeom, but there existed two types, which several pipes stick together or pipes fall apart. But since then, as seen in the musical instrument located at Kyungpook National University Museum and in instruments currently used in Confucian Shrine Ritual Music, only musical instruments exist which pipes fall apart. It is unclear for what reason and to what extent the ‘So’ were so transformed, but it would be appropriate to re-establish the form of the ‘So’ in the musical and historical point of view.
