Program Note:
Baetaraghi was commissioned by KBS (Korean Broadcasting System) in 1992 and is based on a folk song "Baetaraghi" which originated from the Pyongando region. The song is characterized by its unique scale structure and peculiar melodic pattern. The composer took apart and reorganized melodies of the folk song then adjusted them for western instruments. Although this music sounds different from the original song, the main melodic line which is grounded constantly on the interval of the filth and deep vibration ("nonghyon" in Korean) on the upper note placed on fifth, remain the same as the original. |
