1.Neotraditional Korean Music
Neotraditional Korean Music, which(changjak gugak) is also called New Korean music
(singugak), 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. Neotraditional Korean music has emerged in the mid-twentieth century and 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.
