ABSTRACT

During the late 18th to mid-19th centuries, the concept of ‘fluid musical compositions’ within Song-book was not an anomaly but rather a common phenomenon. Th ese ‘fl uid musical compositions’ were not fi rmly established as specifi c pieces of music at the time of compilation, resulting in significant variations or encompassing multiple compositions. The term was later mainly associated with derivatives of the ‘Isakdaeyeop’ such as ‘Junggeo’, ‘Dugeo’, and ‘Pyunggeo’. These ‘fluid musical compositions’ were prevalent in Significance of the ‘Fluid Musical Composition’(‘Bujo’) in the Nasonbon Gasa and the Hangul Museum Edition Yulbo from the late 18th century to the mid-19th century, refl ecting the dynamic nature of performance scenes. Th is article explores the transmission process of the ‘fl uid musical composition’ called ‘Bujo’ in both the Nasonbon and Hangul Museum editions of the same genre, using it as evidence that such compositions were not anomalies but rather universal occurrences. Th e late 18th to mid-19th centuries experienced more dynamic musical changes compared to preceding periods, leading to the appearance of ‘fluid musical compositions’ that wouldn't be found in other eras. Understanding these compositions properly allows for a more accurate understanding of the court music collections from this period. The presence of ‘fluid musical compositions’ signifi es that the compilers of these Song-book were already attuned to ongoing musical changes and captured the most sensitive aspects of those changes. By supplementing the existing examples of ‘fl uid musical compositions’ found in works like the Byeongwagakokjip, Heungbibu, DonggukGasa, Yeongeon with the inclusion of these two Song-books, the Nasonbon Gasa and the Hangul Museum edition Yulbo this paper seeks to contribute to establishing that ‘fl uid musical compositions’ were a prevalent phenomenon of the 19th century. The significance of this paper lies in proving the likelihood that the ‘fluid musical compositions’ found in court music collections from the late 18th to mid-19th centuries were not anomalies but rather indicative of a common trait.
