제조와 전악의 음악 활동 고찰

Abstract

This study explores the chejo 提調 and chŏnak 典樂 who had been active participants of the Royal Music Institute known as Changagwŏn 掌樂院 during the Chosŏn 朝鮮 Dynasty. Although the Royal Music Institute had different names and roles for each era, this study particularly focuses on the Changagwŏn where occupation is unified. Previous studies had been primarily focused on the aspect of transition in each era. Therefore the examination of the roles of chejo and chŏnak in the Changagwŏn had not been studied on a sophisticated level. In order to harmoniously conduct the court rituals in the Chosŏn Dynasty, it is historically important to examine their roles and values. The study had therefore been presented based on the aspects of musical activities listed on various different sources such as Chosŏn wangjo sillok 『朝鮮王朝實錄』(Annals of the Chosŏn Dynasty) etc. The chejo had the role of the administrative management which reviewed the tasks set for Changagwŏn. They had to be proficient in musicology as musical administration and musical education had been governed by them, they also had to have fitting reverence and dignity for such role to regulate a number of musicians at once. They were mostly responsible for tasks including strictly regulated management of the number of court musicians and their rehearsals and reviewing the movement for liturgy and inspecting every instrument in palace etc. The chŏnak had been selected from a number of musicians who had been active in the Changagwŏn for a long time. The task for chŏnak includes participating in national liturgy to mentor musicians, and taking the role of chipbak chŏnak 執拍典樂 at performances and master music of China and modify the incorrect music practice and inspecting the condition of the instruments. Therefore it can be concluded that Changagwŏn had completed all the given tasks in relation to music in national liturgy, and it is believed that as the role of the chejo and chŏnak had been systematically structured and performed, that it would have had a great influence on restoring national liturgy after warfares.
