Sugungga
''Sugungga'' is one of the five surviving stories of the Korean ''pansori'' storytelling tradition. The other stories are ''Simcheongga'', ''Heungbuga'', ''Jeokbyeokga'', and ''Chunhyangga''. ''Sugungga'' is considered to be more exciting and farcical than the other ''pansori''s because of its personification of animals. The satire is more frank and humorous. It has serious parts as well in the characters of the king and loyal retainers. Therefore ''Sugungga'' is regarded as the "small Jeokbyeokga;" so Pansori singers sing those parts earnestly. ''Sugungga'' is based on the story of the Dragon King of the Southern Sea, a terrapin, and a wily rabbit. This story is believed to have stemmed from a tale about a terrapin and a rabbit in the early period of the Silla Dynasty. The theme of this story is the relationship of subject to king. Recently, the play was popularized by the Korean band Leenalchi ( Korean: 이날치) who uploaded their live action performance of the story on YouTube ...

Pansori
'''' () is a Korean genre of musical storytelling performed by a singer and a drummer. The term ''pansori'' is derived from the Korean words ''pan'' (Hangul: 판) and ''sori'' (Hangul: 소리), the latter of which means "sound." However, ''pan'' has multiple meanings, and scholars disagree on which was the intended meaning when the term was coined. One meaning is "a situation where many people are gathered." Another meaning is "a song composed of varying tones." In music, Gugwangdae describes a long story that takes as little as three hours and as much as eight hours or more. It is one of the traditional forms of Korean music that mixes body movements and songs to the accompaniment of a buk drum played by a gosu. The dramatic content of the drama is changed according to various rhythms based on the melody of Korea's local music. Pansori was originally called the "sori", and it was called Taryeong, Japga (잡가), Clown Song, and Geukga (극가; 劇歌). It was also commonly use ...

Changgeuk
''Changgeuk'' or ''ch'angguk'' is a traditional Korean opera, performed as a play but in the Korean folk song style known as ''pansori''. It is therefore also called ''Korean pansori opera'' in English. Generally, a ''changgeuk'' play will include 20 to 30 actors, and 30 to 50 orchestra members. An example '' Suggungga'' (''Mr. Rabbit and the Dragon King'') tells a story about a shrewd rabbit who manages to return home safely using clever tricks after having visited the Dragon King's palace, which is located under the sea. The Dragon King had invited the rabbit to his palace to eat its liver after being told it that rabbit liver is the only cure for his illness. ''Sugungga'' is full of humor and also contains metaphors criticizing society.

Heungbuga
''Heungbuga'' is one of the five surviving stories of the Korean ''pansori'' storytelling tradition. It is also called ''Baktaryeong'' (hangul: 박타령). The other stories are ''Simcheongga'', ''Chunhyangga'', ''Jeokbyeokga'' and ''Sugungga''. It is about the story of Heungbu, a poor but good man with many children. ''Heungbuga'' depicts common people's lives with a folksy atmosphere. Many listeners prefer ''Heungbuga'' because of its focus on humor. This humor in ''pansori'' is called ''jaedam sori'', which means ''funny sound'' in Korean. The most famous part of ''Heungbuga'' is "Cranky Nolbu," depicting the nasty Nolbu in a light-hearted fashion with a fast ''Jajinmori'' rhythm. It is widely considered that the latter part of Heungbuga is inferior to the beginning. One explanation for this is that the latter part was not sufficiently revised by its singers over the years. This could be used as evidence for the importance of ''deoneum'' in ''pansori''.재미있는 우리국악 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jeokbyeokga
Jeokbyeokga is one of the five surviving stories of the Korean pansori storytelling tradition. The other stories are Simcheongga, Heungbuga, Chunhyangga and Sugungga. It is also known as ''Hwaryongdo''. This story is a retelling of the Chinese historical legend of the Battle of Red Cliffs. Jeokbyeokga is a heroic story. Therefore, the expressions are grand, sublime, and strong. Accordingly, female singers rarely sing it. Jeokbyeokga has many scenes depicting conflict between the king, feudal lords and a commander, so the singer must have the capability of making grand vocalizations. A singer with an intense voice is aptly suited for Jeokbyeokga. Jeokbyeokga is considered to be the most difficult ''pansori'', even though it is short. Plot The basic plot of Jeokbyeokga is from the 14th century novel ''Romance of the Three Kingdoms'' by Luo Guanzhong. It starts when characters Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei take an oath by blood to become brothers at Dowon. The last part is Liu Bei an ...

Theme (arts)
In contemporary literary studies, a theme is a central topic, subject, or message within a narrative. Themes can be divided into two categories: a work's ''thematic concept'' is what readers "think the work is about" and its ''thematic statement'' being "what the work says about the subject". Themes are often distinguished from premises. The most common contemporary understanding of theme is an idea or point that is central to a story, which can often be summed in a single word (for example, love, death, betrayal). Typical examples of themes of this type are conflict between the individual and society; coming of age; humans in conflict with technology; nostalgia; and the dangers of unchecked ambition. A theme may be exemplified by the actions, utterances, or thoughts of a character in a novel. An example of this would be the thematic idea of loneliness in John Steinbeck's ''Of Mice and Men'', wherein many of the characters seem to be lonely. It may differ from the thesis—the text ...
