불교 장례의례 시다림의 절차와 의식음악적 기능

Abstract

Sidarim is a Buddhistritual that has been most universally accommodated in Korean funeral. Thus, taking as its research data Sidarim rituals held in abridged forms of eulogy by monks, the purpose of this study is to examine the correlation between the goals of the performance of individual Sidarim tunes and their musical characteristics. The results drawn from this study are as follows. The 11 tunes performed at Sidarim rituals can be classified into invocation,worship, prayer, Buddhist sermon, charm etc. based on the purposes of performances. Wooden gongs and Buddhist rings are used as sound producing instruments, and there are 4 performance methods: the beginning incantation,incantation, asceticism, and cadence. As for musical aspects, we can tell that such musical elements as beat structure, tempo, range etc. are closely related. This paper names them Geobul-seong, Chugwon-seong, Songju-seong etc. following Kim, Young Woon’s typology of singing methods. As a res매 t of the examination of the sound producing instruments, musical aspects, and purposes of individual procedures, we can see that the Buddhist bell is used to invoke subjects in invocation and prayer, and the wooden gong for asceticism in worship and Buddhist sermon, especially conventionally in charm. We can conject니re that Geobul• seong and Chugwon • seong employ low and melasmatic musical grammar to plead with the subject in invocation,worship, and prayer, while Songj’'u-seong minimizes musical decoration and accordin혀 y selects appropriate musical characteristics for delivery of contents and functions of tunes in Buddhist sermon or charm. With those results, this study confìrms that the purposes of individual procedures and the musical aspects correspond to each other.
