근대 정악(正樂)의 전개와 인천의 음악인들

Abstract

The meaning of the term Jeongak(정악) has been changed from the traditional society to the modern society. In traditional society, the term Jeongak was the concept of the ideal music, but in modern society, the meaning of the term Jeongak has been changed to the name of genre of certain music piece. The modern concept of Jeongak is mainly related to the music group movement such as Joseonjeongakjeonseupso(조선정악전습소), Joseoneumakhyuphoi(조선음악협회) and the regional jJeongak music club activity. Among the groups, Joseonjeongakjeonseupso(조선정악전습소) took a small part in the stage of the change of Jeongak meaning. They preferred to use the term Eumyul(음률) instead of Jeongak(정악) as a name of their music repertory like Hyunak-Yeongsanhoisang(현악영산회상) and Gagok(가곡) until 1930's. In contrast, the movement of the regional Jeongak hobby club and Joseoneumakhyuphoi(조선음악협회) which is organized in late 1920’s took a major part in the change of Jeongak meaning. They used the term Jeongak as a integrated genre name of music like Julpoongnyu(줄풍류), Gagok(가곡) and Sijo(시조). The regional Jeongak music club movement which is organized under the purpose of preserving literati music culture from Joseon dynasty was mainly appeared from the late 1910's to the 1920’s. Yiwukurakbu(이우구락부) of Incheon was one of the leading organizations. The music repertory of Yiwukurakbu(이우구락부) was called as a “Jeongak” as a term of genre name of their music. The musicians who were familiar with the modern concept of “Jeongak” by the experience of concert playing in Yiwukurakbu(이우구락부) in 1920’s, became involved in the establishment of Joseoneumakhyuphoi(조선음악협회). Furthermore, Incheon musician’s activity area was expanded to the whole country by participating as a member of Joseoneumakhyuohoi(조선음악협회). Wind ensemble, string ensemble(Yeongsanhoisang영산회상) and Gagok(가곡) was played together under the title of Jeongak at the Joseoneumakhyuphoi(조선음악협회)’s music concert. The regional jJeongak hobby club which is organized under the purpose of preserving literati music culture from Joseon dynasty took a major part in the Jeongak meaning change. Among them, the musician from Incheon contributed to the change of Jeongak meaning by organizing the group activities like Yiwukurakbu(이우구락부) and Joseoneumakhyuohoi(조선음악협회).
