윤치호 번역의 찬미가(1908) 연구

Abstract

By making reference to the study of Ch'anmiga 『讚美歌』(1908), i. e. Christian Hymn, translated by Yun Ch’i-ho 尹致昊, this research looks at a complicated social phenomenon at the time. In his point of view, this was a good way to overcome internal and external difficulty of the late 19th century Chosŏn. In a national effort to become free from the Japanese colonial rule of the time, he intended to deliver useful information through analyzing themes of 15 hymnal songs from Ch'anmiga (1908) by bringing it from church to the public. Yun Ch’i-ho believed that the only way to save Chosŏn citizens from several corrupted politicians was to abolish its dynasty and government and to strengthen patriotism and the will of enlightenment by making use of Western civilization and Christian gospel in Ch'anmiga (1908). Next year marks the 100th anniversary of March First Independence Movement. As it enters 2019, with lots of attention in the study of music of the time and a paradigm shift, study of modern music would open a new horizon and meaningful challenges from different levels would be newly arranged.
