Pansori is made up of a performer, a drummer and audience, which are three factors that make Pan (ground). A performer makes a performance through ¡®Sori (narrative song/music)¡¯, ¡®Aniri (words)¡¯ and ¡®Balim (actions)¡¯ to a drummer¡¯s drum rhythm so it can be said that ¡®Sori¡¯, ¡®Aniri¡¯ and ¡®Balim¡¯ are three factors of Pansori. ¡®Sori¡¯ is composed of ¡®Seongeum¡¯, ¡®Gil¡¯ and ¡®Jangdan¡¯, which are three factors of ¡®Sori (music)¡¯.
Once a performer, a drummer and audience get together and make a playground, a great singer should be able to make audience cry or smile, appropriately using ¡®Sori¡¯, ¡®Aniri¡¯ and ¡®Balim¡¯. At this time, ¡®Seongeum¡¯ should lead the ¡®Sori¡¯ with right ¡®Gil¡¯ and ¡®Jangdan¡¯. If a performer (singer) is short of Seongeum, he/she gets to rely on the techniques of Buchimsae (a combination of melody and rhythm or of story and rhythm). If he/she takes wrong ¡®Gil¡¯, the Sori gets to lose its own color so it is not interesting to listen. (Myeong-Hwan Kim, a noted drummer/ Dae-Woong Baik, mentioned it at pp. 14-1, Melody Structure of the Korean Traditional Music)
Highly developed music is made up of a mixture of several factors like pitch, rhythm, harmony, form, performance and style. Pansori makes the world of music through a mixture of Seongeum, Gil and Jangdan. That is, Pansori has different Gil (Jo), according to the circumstances and situation of a story, and Seongeum and Jangdan become combined with the Gil to have the true meaning of the music. That is, suitably for the true meaning, Gil, Seongeum and Jangdan get harmonized. |
