Gayageum Sanjo

[bb1271986]

This has an almost Bluegrass feel to it.

I like it.

[kapellmeister1951]

Like many things Korean, this music is earthy, true to its own nature, and naturally beautiful. There is no sensationalism or display of technique for the sake of impressing the audience, only whole-hearted engagement in making music with very deep roots. Here, music, meditation, and art come together.

breathtaking

[jatwell55]

What year, moth and day was this recorded? Where?

[merumeru00]

역시 대단하십니다.

가슴을 잔잔하게 울리는것 같네요

좋은 영상 잘보고 갑니다.



[Tenchijk]

man.... this song shows so much emotions~ I love it... 

[sungk9]

The master captured the unpoluted natural sound in his Kayakeum, I mean not poluted by technology. Utterly beautiful!!!

[viewthedr]

역시 고수는 다르다. 이에 비하면 여기 유튜브 다른 영상들은 아마추어 수준이다.

[viewthedr]

He shows what's the real sound of gayaguem.

[TexasSizzle]

Master Hwang

[CharlieHuang]

The master shows how it's done!

[ChilSeongGeom]

Isnt Sanjo mostly improvisation?

[1268512]

@ChilSeongGeom no... it has a score for people to follow. But it is the player's liberty to change a few parts.

[ChilSeongGeom]

yeah, but it has some fixed lines.

[simon18i]

@ChilSeongGeom

ancient korean music score is very hard to be recorded. Therefore, the player have to throughly read thru the scores, understands and imagine what the music is trying to convey in order to properly play the music. therefore each player plays the music a bit differently. most ancient score records the playing, not the melodies and it differs from master to master, instrument to instrument. Although nowadays most players are using translated version in western musical notation.

[digambara]

Wow ... The ending especially i found very captivating.

Thank you!

[cuchaia]

Absolutely beautiful ... many thanks...

[simoyake123]

他の民族が思いつかないような音階！

[ayanuhito]

そうそう！本当！でも楽器の音階自体は

琉球や明宋代以降の中国のと、ほぼ同じなん

です！だっから琉球音楽を韓国楽器で弾くの容易。

リズムも本当に面白い！！音のはじき方とか

抜き具合が‥　独特ですよね〜！

[uruziam]

I especially enjoy the cool 'thwack' sound when the player hits the string in a brisk forward flicking motion with his index finger. The drum is so beautiful too and the combination of the sudden sound of the drum and the 'thwack' sound on the strings - mmm!

[xke7mx7]

素晴らしい！心に染み入る音色です。

[ayanuhito]

私も同感！　似た楽器なのに

中国と朝鮮と韓国と日本の箏で

音色も奏法もすごく違うから

いつも面白いんですね!!!! *^*

[pjubagoni]

love it

[extranoisy]

chota!

Nice video, great playing

[sleepyjl]

Great player. The only gayageum player I know by name. His sanjo here is pretty traditional, but I've heard him play some more progressive pieces that are captivating.

[siwon333]

아 졸려~~~ 숙면에 최고 음악인듯

[alucens]

Great performance. I am looking for a good recording of kayagum (sanjo) like this. Who is the performer in this clip. Thanks

[cfox287]

Hwang byung ki is listed on the info in the profile-- it also has the wiki link :-)

[Lifethinking]

먼옛날의 조상님들을 remind 시킨다.. 소리나 가락이 진짜 동양스럽다 아름다워요..우우ㅠ

[spots11129]

Favorited also! This type of older music has such intuitive appeal and matches the images beautifully.  What makes the percussive sound, a drummer in the background?

[TheAltoClef]

if i'm not mistaken it's called a chango, or hourglass drum

[anita9524]

@TheAltoClef janggu

[sent5blues]

or a buk, a barrel drum

[extranoisy]

No that's changgu, buk is used for vocals, but not usually for sanjo. Also the high pitch rolls are done by bouncing the thin changgu stick, not like the heavy taps you can do on the buk.

[BlueJazzyClassic]

Thank you very much
