조선정악단에 관한 일고찰 -일본 연주회 기록을 중심으로

Abstract

Chosŏn chŏngaktan 朝鮮正樂團(Performing Group of Korean Classical Music)was the major ensemble who is recorded Yŏngsan hoesang 靈山會相on modern sp records label. Despite the significance of their music in sp records, the specific activity and the information about the ensemble member was not as well known. This is mainly caused by the lack of information about this ensemble group in Korea. But, the trace of this ensemble group was able to be found in japanese articles in magazine and newspaper of 1930's. As a result of the study, some characteristics of the Chosŏn chŏngaktan was revealed. The name of the ensemble Chosŏn chŏngaktan was firstly used for their concerts and recording activity in Japan. They used the term chŏngak 正樂on purpose to emphasize their musical identity. Because Japan in 1930's, the term aak 雅樂and koak 古樂had different meaning from their main program Yŏngsan hoesang. They wanted to introduce new Korean traditional ensemble program Yŏngsan hoesang by calling that chŏngak. Their concert in Japan was held from may 1930, until June 1930. From their preview concert at Chojyoji 増上寺and Gogyo kurabu kaikan 工業倶楽部, they kept on going concert tour in Tokyo asahi shinbunsha 東京朝日新聞社and Waseda 早稻田University. On their concert, they added kayagŭm sanjo 伽倻琴散調,pyŏngch'ang 倂唱and sijo 時調on the program besides Yŏngsan hoesang to help Japanese audience. Based on the result of the research, there were 8 members on ensemble. The members were Yun Ki-sŏn 尹琦善, Yi Sŭng-hwan 李承煥, Yi Myŏng-ho 李明鎬, Yun Chong-sŏn 尹從善, Kim Myŏng-su, 金明洙Chi Yong-gu 池龍九, Pang Sŏng-jo 方聖朝and Yi Wan 李浣. They were all member of the Chosŏn chŏngaktan and they were mainly performed in Inch'ŏn 仁川area. Chosŏn chŏngak taehoe 朝鮮正樂大會was firstly organized for the Kyŏngsŏng 京城womans art school's fund raising. On that concert, Yŏngsan hoesang was played as a main program for the first time at concert. The success of that concert made it possible for Yŏngsan hoesang to become a major program at concert as a new wave. In the wake of this event, the musicians of Chosŏn chŏngak taehoe visited Japan for their recording and concert. Since then, the title of musical piece Yŏngsan hoesang (which is called as ŭmyul 音律or Yŏngsan hoesang in Korea) converted to the title chŏngak of Chosŏn in Japan.
