짓소리의 개념과 음악적 실체 - 경제·완제·영제를 비교하여 -

Abstract

Chissori 짓소리 is take long hours performing almost chanted in form of chorus, the way of vocalization is very strongly and grand in low pitch and have humming parts. But some time hossori 홋소리 also possess like that characteristics except the strong and grand vocalization in very low pitch. Then the vocalization is the peculiarity of kyŏngje 京制 style, it resemble to Tibetan Buddhist chant especially very low pitch and tough vocalization. This is because that Kyŏnggi province is near Kaesŏng where the capital of Koryŏ dynasty, that period Tibetan Buddhism came to Korea through the Western Xia Dynasty. While in Yŏngnam province Kyŏngju the capital of Silla dynasty located. So the chissori among of Yŏngnam pŏmp'ae 梵唄 is different from kyŏongje 京制. hey prolong the melody from hossori to chissori and kyŏpsori, the characteristics are almost same with kyŏngje but don’t have the vocalization like Tibetan vocalization style. I think it is caused by the regional, the people’s character in Yŏngnam conservative disposition. In the early days, Korean buddhist chants were Silla and Tang of china style. until now they would like to keep the original style.
