Court Music Orchestra of National Gugak Centre

Background: The Jongmyo Jeryeak refers to a combination of vocal and instrumental music, and dances, performed once a year at the Jongmyo royal shrine: for about 600 years, even during the Japanese occupation of 1910 - 1945, this solemn and majestic ritual music - played on drums, gongs, bells, chimes, zithers, fiddles, oboes and flutes - has been performed in honour of the royal ancestrors of the Joseon dynasty.

The music of Jongmyo Jeryeak consists of 27 pieces: Botaepyeong, which praises the scholarly virtues of the kings, has 11; Jeongdae-eop, praising the military accomplishments of the kings, also has 11. Huimum, the first piece of Botaepyeong, is performed for Yeongsin-rye, the ritual to welcome the spirits, and also for Jeonpyerye, the ceremony for offering presents to the spirits, but it has a different text for each of the rituals. In the actual rites, Yeongsin Huimum is performed nine times, while Jeonpye Huimum is varied into a very slow tempo. There is a piece that is part of neither Botaepyeong nor Jeongdae-eop: Punganjiak, which is performed for the rituals of Jinchan, Cheolbyeondu and Songsin, also with a different text each time.

As the national memorial ceremony, the music for Jongmyo Jeryeak was performed by musicians from the national music institute, the Jangagwon.
