ABSTRACT

This paper studies the musical contents of Daeakhubo Ssangwhajeom and Siyong-Hyangakbo Ssangwhagok through their scores. It first finds the two song's rhythm with the interpretation of ‘finding the standard beat’, and then it examines the musical contents and their musical relationship. The rhythm of Daeakhubo Ssangwhajeom was interpreted as 3/󰁜♩󰁜, three standard beats, two of which were divided by three and one of which was divided by two. Jangdan of Ssangwhajeom was the jangdan which added more touch points to that of Geumhapjabo Hyangak, and in which one touch point was played per divided beat. As in Geumhapjabo Hyangak, the time-value of one jeonggan was interpreted as one divided beat. Repeated tones and higher or lower tones between the same tones were used in the melody, and syncopation was used in the song. The music consisted of three sections, each of which was repeated, but was reduced gradually. The rhythm of Siyong-Hyangakbo Ssangwhagok was interpreted as 4/♩, four standard beats, each of which was divided by two. Its jangdan was a typical jangdan of Goryeo Hyangak, one touch point of which was played per standard beat. The music form was the same as that of Ssangwhajeom, but repeated tones and higher or lower tones between the same tones were not found at all. Like other Chinese lyric song, one Chinese character was sung per standard beat. It seems that the Ssangwhajeom from which Siyong-Hyangakbo Ssangwhagok was arranged is not Daeakhubo Ssangwhajeom, but the original Ssangwhajeom prior to it. The rhythm of the original Ssangwhajeom would be 4/󰁜, four standard beats, each of which was divided by three. It could be said that there was the original Ssangwhajeom with 4/󰁜 rhythm which was transmitted from Goryeo dynasty, and in the early Joson period Ssangwhagok with Chinese lyric and 4/♩ rhythm was arranged from the original Ssangwhajeom. And the rhythm of the original Ssangwhajeom was expanded in the period of Geumhapjabo, and this Ssangwhajeom with the expanded 3/󰁜♩󰁜 rhythm was written in Daeakhubo.
