전라북도 시집살이요 연구 = A Study on ‘Sijipsariyo(song of married life in the home of the husband’s parents)’ in North Jeolla Province

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Sijipsariyo is a song that depicts married life in the home of the husband’s parents. Previous studies have largely focused on literary analysis, while the musical characteristics of Sijipsariyo, particularly in the Jeollabuk-do region, have not been sufficiently explored. To address this research gap, the present study examines the musical features of Sijipsariyo in Jeollabuk-do through an analysis of nine documentary sources, including The Compendium of Korean Oral Literature (Korea Gubi Munhak Daegye).An examination of transmission patterns shows that the Namwon area contains the largest number of recorded examples. However, these figures are more likely influenced by collectors’ interests and differences in documentation and compilation processes than by actual frequency of transmission. In terms of narrative structure, Sijipsariyo generally consists of four sequential stages—Suffering, Protest, Frustration, and Resolution. In the Jeollabuk-do materials, the Suffering stage appears consistently in all examples, whereas the other stages occur selectively depending on the piece. Notably, no example includes all four stages, and the repetitive narrative content found in the Suffering stage is a feature shared not only by Jeollabuk-do Sijipsariyo but also by those from other regions.Musically, Sijipsariyo in Jeollabuk-do is performed exclusively as a female solo and employs a variety of rhythmic structures, including triple-subdivision meters and free rhythm. Analysis by folk song zones reveals clear regional tendencies: in the northeastern mountainous zone, Gyeongtori predominates alongside elements of Yukjabaegitori and Menaritori; in the southeastern mountain-basin zone, Yukjabaegitori is dominant; in the northwestern plains zone, modal mixture of Gyeongtori and Yukjabaegitori is observed, along with frequent borrowing of melodies from popular folk songs such as “Arirang” and “Baennorae” (“Boat Song”); and in the southwestern plains zone, Gyeongtori is central, accompanied by features of Yukjabaegitori.A comparison with the folk song geography of agricultural work songs reveals both similarities and differences. While both genres share tendencies toward modal mixture and the borrowing of melodies from other folk songs, they differ markedly in performance practice. Sijipsariyo is primarily performed as a solo song, whereas agricultural work songs typically employ leader–chorus or antiphonal structures. This difference reflects the distinct generic functions of the two song types: Sijipsariyo serves as a medium for expressing individual narrative experience, while agricultural work songs function within collective labor contexts. The study concludes that Sijipsariyo in Jeollabuk-do shares regional musical characteristics with the broader folk song tradition of the province, while simultaneously exhibiting distinctive features shaped by its genre-specific nature.
