AB - Annie Baird, who worked as an NPCUSA (Northern Presbyterian Church of USA) missionaries in Korea from 1891 to 1916, contributed greatly to the music field in Korea of the modern era. She translated numerous hymns with excellent linguistic and musical talents and was an important committee member for hymn publication in Korea. In addition, she edited and published an occasional songbook Changgajip which was compiled various genre included Asian traditional tunes, nursery rhymes, and school songs. Changgajip was a widely used textbook and a meaningful collection as a selection and arrangement that took into consideration of Korean’s singing characteristics. This presentation focuses on how Annie Baird's perspectives and educational ideas were reflected in her music activities. Annie Baird began her ministry at a time when the mission movement was in full swing in the United States, and when the women’s mission of various denominations, including the Women's Missionary Association, reached its peak. Growing up under a conservative church, Annie Baird was faithful to the mainstream mission perspectives and strategy of the time. Emphasizing the importance of educational missions, she worked with Husband Baird, who founded Soongsil School in Pyeongyang, to translate and edit textbooks, to serve as teachers. She believed that education would be a crucial tool to “enlighten” Korean youth on gospel foundations and to build their talent up. In that sense, her educational activities generally were not far away from the beneficiary's position. However, if we look at the results of the activities in more detail, we can see that Annie Baird not only contributed greatly to the dissemination of ‘Hangul’ and the publication of Hangul textbooks but also considered the emotions and customs of Koreans in hymn translation and in songbook compilation. Thus, I suggest that Annie Baird was a beneficiary and a subject of education, at the same time was at a place where she was compelled to make new musical negotiations.
