Abstract
-
The melodic concept in Korean traditional music known as jo has always been at the heart of discussions among performers and scholars. Having a very broad meaning from its simplest theoretical perspective as a "melodic mode," or as pitch collection in a specific order, to its more complex nature as "musical style," or seongum, which includes every aspect of performance practice, jo can be only fully understood within its cultural and performance context. This dissertation, "The Grand and Majestic: Ujo in Pansori and Sanjo Tradition," is a study of the modal theory and performance practice in two distinctive oral tradition genres, pansori and sanjo, vocal and instrumental genres, respectively. It is in the world of performance that ujo comes to life, and this aspect must be integrated with scholarly interpretations into a comprehensive understanding of ujo. This study examines ujo in pansori and sanjo, its organic structure, and its modal connections and inter-relationships to other genres, both court and folk music traditions. It considers both theoretical discourses using examples and extensive transcriptions of live and recorded performances that reflect how ujo is created as "lifting up the sound" and as "upper mode," reflecting its registral placement and performance practice traditions.
