SamulNori:History

•The term SamulNori was first brought up in 1978.

•The Korean worlds "samul" means "four things", and "nori" means "to play" hence "four things playing."

•The original performers of SamulNori were Kim Young Bae (deceased in 1985) who played kwaengari, Choi Tae Hyun on jing, Kim Duck-soo on janggu, and Lee Jong Dae (now teaching at a university) on the buk.

•The origin of SamulNori's music can be traced back to what is usually referred to as "farmers" band music ("nong-ak").


SamulNori:Symbols

•The name SamulNori literally means "the play of four things." The four things refer to the four percussive instruments. -K'kwaenggwari -Ching -Jang-go -Buk

•Each instrument is associated with an element in nature.


SamulNori:Symbols(K'kwaenggwari) K'kwaenggwari (small gong) is

•Made mainly of brass with trace of gold or silver. •It is hand held and played with a bamboo mallet. One hand holds the mallet while the other hand is responsible for dampening the sound produced. •The player of this instrument often plays the role of leader, signaling transitions in the music. •As each instrument is associated with an element in nature, the k'kwaenggwari is related to lightening.


SamulNori:Symbols(Ching)

The Ching (large gong )•It is struck with a padded stick.

•This instrument can be played in a number of ways: hung on a frame, hand-held by handle, or played with two hands.

•Ching should make an osculating sound, imitating the shape of the valleys of Korea. Thus, Ching is associated with the wind.


SamulNori:Symbols(Jang-go)

The JangGo •It called the hourglass drum, referring to its shape. •The drum has two sides, each with a different types of leather skin. •One side produces a high pitched sound. This instrument is associated with rain.


SamulNori:Symbols(Buk) The Buk

•It is a barrel drum, made of a piece of hollow out wood and two leather skins tied to the wood. •It is played by a single stick and provides the bass sounds of the group. •The buk is related to the clouds.


SamulNori:MusicThey stand at a musical crossroad where rural and

urban traditions and east and west meet in a synthesis of music and dance. They mastered the rhythms to a high level of intricacy and also increased the tempo

immensely. These new styles were what they became known for and what differentiated SamulNori, the

music genre, from nong-ak.


SamulNori in the World•Over the years, SamulNori's U.S. tours have brought

them to New York City, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Hawaii and the Asia Society's sponsored tour across the country. In 1985, the Asia Society was awarded an

"Obie" for Off-Broadway Theatre for introducing SamulNori to New York's stages.

•SamulNori has performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. and at the Smithsonian Institution as

part of an effort to establish scholarly exchanges between the Smithsonian and Korea. They also

appeared at the Percussive Arts Society Convention in Dallas and served a residency for the University of

California at Berkeley.

•Internationally, SamulNori has toured Germany, Austria, Great Britain, Sweden, Switzerland, Japan,

China, Australia and Greece, where they accompanied the Korean Olympic representatives for the lighting of the Olympic torch in 1988. They also visited Italy, where

they were filmed for a Puma sneakers commercial.
