	Korean Music
		Korean traditional music can be roughly divided into two major categories, chong-ak and sog-ak: music for the ruling class and for the common people, respectively.
		Hyang-ak simply means native Korean music, a noted example of which is Sujech'on, a piece of instrumental music often claimed to be at least 1,300 years old, which would predate the first compilation of Gregorian chants.
		Music for the upper class consists of a type of ensemble music, p'ungnyu, the most sophisticated Korean lyric song genre; kagok, and the indigenous Korean popular song, sijo.

		Korean court music consists of two kinds, Dang-ak (Chinese court music invented during the Dang dynasty) and Hyang-ak (indigenous court music).

	Korean Music - Foreign Music
		While Korean music differs so greatly from our own, the natives soon master our system of music, as was seen recently when a German musical instructor succeeded after three months' training in having a band of Korean musicians perform creditably the national airs of the countries rep-resented in Korea.
		After the gates were shut to the accompaniment of this weird music, the men-folks were obliged to stay at home, only officials and their servants being allowed on the streets, which were given up to the women until the opening of the gates with the recurring dawn.
		Probably the Korean music most agreeable to the west-ern ear, is that produced by the flute, which is not unpleasant, especially when heard at a distance.

	SAPAAN: Vol. 3 Spring 2004 - The Design of a Korean Ritual Musical Offering by Mee Eun Jeon
		Court music is performed by members of the NCMI for ceremonies at the Confucian Shrine and Royal Ancestor's Shrine, for national events, for tourists and the public.
		It is this music alone of all the music received from China which has not been transformed totally beyond recognition at the hands of Korean musicians, and has been preserved in essentially unaltered form.
		The Royal Ancestor's Shrine music, a type of court ritual music established in the 15th century, is excluded from the narrow sense of aak, for it evolved long after in hyangak style.

		Diverse instruments and music forms, folk songs, religious works, court music, and shaman rituals all express the soul of a nation whose history is filled with colourful and fascinating tales.
