1.Neotraditional
Korean Music
(changjak gugak) is also called New Korean music (singugak), thus,
it refers to Korean music composed recently and not the music transmitted
from the past. Generally, the composers of traditional Korean music
are unknown, but the composers and the compositional purposes of the
neotraditional Korean music pieces are clearly revealed. Since neotraditional
Korean music has emerged in the mid-twentieth century, it has developed
both in quality and quantity. Most of the neotraditional Korean music
pieces introduced here are performed at the National Center for Traditional
Performing Arts. However, it should be noted that these pieces form
only the tip of the iceberg among the various neotraditional Korean
music pieces that exist today.

2. Neotraditional Korean Dance
Similar to neotraditional Korean music, neotraditional Korean dance
refers to dance pieces created in contemporary times. While the choreographers
and the choreographic purposes of traditional dances are unknown,
those of neotraditional Korean dances are usually revealed. Hitherto,
many dance pieces have been created, but only a few will be introduced
here.
