The music of Byungki Hwang Synonymous in Korea with music pleasing to both the ear and the mid is the kayagum music of byungki Hwang. Abstract ideas such as scents, colors, moods, images, and feelinfgs are portrayed with clarity, simplicity, and elegance, and drraw upon his early training in both Korean folk and court music, the first post-colonial musician to formaly transcend the division. He has almost single-handedly put the Kum back in kayagum reclaiming it form the red glow of kisaeng9geisha) quarters, one of its main associations in the mid-20th century. Born in 1936 in Seoul, Byungki Hwang started studying kayagum in Pusan in 1952, during the Korean War, a year after the National Center for Korean Traditional Performing Arts responed in Pusan, and well before the estabishment of the Traditional Music Department at Seoul National University in 1959. Hwang composed his first piece, Forest, in 1962 and in effect touched off the move toward a new gener of music called changjak kukak or newly-composed Korean traditional music." At this time, the concept of "composition" or of the individual "composer" did not really exist for traditional music in the sense that it did in Europe, America, and elsewhere, even in Japan. Music was handed down from teacher to disciple without a score. It changed slowly and organically, or through improvisation on the core melodic materials. In this way, Hwang`s work was revolutionary. 1. Forest The forest(1962) was the first kayagum piece to be composed in a modern idiom in the history of Korean music. It consist of four sections: I)"Green Shade", a meditative song formed of melodies in court music style; II) "The cuckoo", after short introduction, the cuckoo cries twice, and the music evolved gaily into a folk rhythm, accompainied by the Changgu, an hour-glass shaped Korean drum III)"The rain", where the drip of raindrops, and then a dialogue between leaves and raindrops, can be discerned. The variation in tone quality of kayagum and the Changgu expresses effectively the sound of rain. IV)"Moonlight", a quiet section in slow tempo and quadruple rhythm to present a melody reminiscent of court music. 2. Spring Spring, composed in 1967, is similar in form to But here the sentiment is one of delight and joy in the newness of spring. Tracks - 1-4 .Forest 5-7.
