Koreans of the fifteenth century recorded for posterity a large
body of music which has been preserved to the present day. This
book presents that music in transcription, with an introductory
section providing detailed background on the music itself and on
the sources, the song texts, court dances, musical instruments and
possibilities for performance on western instruments. The fact that
the song texts are translated makes this the largest published
anthology of early Korean verse in translation. The book concludes
with a detailed bibliography and glossaries including the original
Chinese for the titles of the pieces, names of the instruments,
etc. Though its origins are distant from us in both time and place,
the fifteenth-century Korean repertoire is immediately appealing to
the occidental ear: hence this collection will be of interest not
only to the student of Asian music but also to any musician with a
taste for the unusual.
