Investigating a Musical Biography in Korea: The Theorist/Musicologist Pak Yŏn (1378-1458)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 March 2019
Extract
Pak Yŏn (1378-1458) was an important figure in Korean music history whose effects on court music, ceremonies, instruments, and theory are still being felt after five and a half centuries. Together with his sovereign, the famous King Sejong (reigned 1418-1450), he was enormously influential in the development of court music, especially the ritual music aak which derived ultimately from twelfth-century Chinese court ritual music and which was always considered to reflect Chinese musical style. Aak and its specialized musical instruments were used, largely at the instigation of Pak Yŏn, for a variety of court events, including the state sacrificial rites (chesa or killye) which were also based on Chinese models. Pak is the single most prominent and widely documented figure in pre-modern Korean music history.
