The purpose of this study is to compare two pieces of music with the subject of 「Comparative study on 'Shipjangga' within Chunhyangga of Song Man-gab's pansori and Oh Tae-suk's gayageum byeongchang」 by analyzing narrations and melodies with two master singers' albums.
For the analysis method, first of all, life and the world of art of Song man-gab and Oh Tae-suk were investigated with the document materials centered. Secondly, in order to have simplicity for the analysis on the narration contents of Shipjangga by Song man-gab and Oh Tae-suk, it was analyzed by dividing maru focusing on the narration contents. And third, for the melody comparison, the real notes of the study subjects were transcribed on the staff, which is convenient to analyze, and one jangdan was noted as eight-eighteen time. Through this, two pieces of music have compared focused on the similar melodies, notes, scale analysis, jangdan and ending forms. The result is as follows :
First, the narration has analyzed in accordance with maru, by dividing from 1st to 15th maru. Only Song Gab-man himself appeared in narration of the 1st to 4th maru, and Oh Tae-suk played gayageum instead of narration in 15th maru. For the formal point of view which has identified by comparing the narration, it has found common that language play was used repeatedly and maximized the scene with the extensive style by enumeration and repetition. However, it showed difference where it finishes with showing the emotions of the characters through the instrument for Oh Tae-suk, as it is the genre that gayageum is played. In terms of the contents, basic narrative structure of Chunhyangga was identical and it is common for Chunhyang to reveal her fidelity, faithfulness and spirit of resistance towards the ruling class. However, there found a slight difference in regards to the contents of the narration as they were partially edited according to the tendency of the performers.
Second, similar patterns were observed in Song Man-gab and Oh Tae-suk's melody progression, but rhythm patterns are different. Similar melodies were found in 8 parts while the narration is same.
Third, for the notes, Song Man-gab used from C'(re) to D''(mi) the most, which means it is progressed focusing on middle registers rather than the upper registers, while it appears to have upper registers from G(la) to B♭''(do) for Oh Tae-suk which shows his rich volume.
Fourth, 'Shipjangga' by Song Man-gab has jinyangjo 81jangdan of ♩.=80tempo, while the one by Oh Tae-suk is composed by jinyangjo 51jangdan of ♩.=85tempo. During 30jangdan from the 1st to 4th maru of the music of Song Man-gab was not appeared in the music of Oh Tae-suk, and gayageum postlude is composed by 3jangdan in 15th maru of Oh Tae-suk. Song Man-gab filled the remaining beats with the drum, while gayageum is used for Oh Tae-suk.
By Through comparing <Shipjangga> by Song Man-gab's pansori and Oh Tae-suk's gayaguem byeongchang, change aspects has observed regarding narrations and melodies that reveals in Oh Tae-suk' gayaguem byeongchang, who inherited musicality by Song Man-gab's pansori. It can be said that musical talent was displayed as the result for Oh Tae-suk based on the genre characteristics of the gayaguem byeongchang. This study investigated one aspect of the influential relationship between two genre, pansori and gayaguem byeongchang. From this study, I expect that active discussions on other pieces of gayaguem byeongchang may continue which are composed under the influence of pansori.
