            Korean Folk Music

•        
•           Korean folk music is varied and
  complex, but all forms maintain a set of rhythms
  called Jangdan and a   loosely defined set of
  melodic modes. Some of them are called pansori,
  pungmul, and sanjo.

                     Pansori

•         Pansori is a long vocal and percussive
  music played by one singer and one drummer. The
  lyrics tell one of five different stories, but
  are individualized by each performer, often with
  updated jokes and audience participation.

              Pungmul   Sanjo

•   Pungmul is a Korean folk music tradition that
  is a form of percussion music includes drumming,
  dancing, and singing. Most performances are
  outside, with dozens of players, all in constant
  motion.

•         Sanjo is played without a pause in faster
  tempos. It shifts rhythms and melodic modes
  during the song. The tempos increases in each
  movement. The general style of the sanjo is
  marked by slow movements and rhythmic complexity
  in faster movements. Sanjo is entirely
  instrumental music that shifts rhythms and
  melodic modes during the song.

•    Aak was brought to Korea in 1116 and was very
  popular for a time before dying out. It was
  revived in 1430, based on a reconstruction of
  older melodies. The music is now highly
  specialized and uses just two different surviving
  melodies.

•     Modern dangak, like aak, is rarely practiced.
  Only two short pieces are known. They are
  Springtime in Louyang and Pacing the Void.
