AB - This paper examines the transformation and adaption of the song “Battle Hymn of the Republic” known as the second American national anthem, as a way to assess how the act of music-making, is closely linked to nation-building in Korea. The notion and symbolism of the home/homeland is imagined, constructed, and performed through music. A closer look at this specific song reveals the influential role of music, in shaping a hegemonic notion of the homeland and national identity, by drawing a clear boundary with the other. The purpose of this paper is to provide new dimensions for consideration in the analytic discourse of the homeland and music, by tracing the transformation and adaptation of the song through ethnomusicological research. The connection between music and society, and the meaning of music in a society, have been a central focus of ethnomusicological studies, as well as investigation relative to national identity. Drawing on this scholarship, this paper explores how “Battle Hymn of the Republic” has been positioned as an ideologically-ridden song in the process of Korean modernization, since the notion of the homeland and home emerged as significant symbols of Korea since the division of the two Koreas.
