● Gayageum Sanjo by Byungho Kim
Sanjo is perhaps the most representative Korean instrumental genre which originated in the southwest region of the Korean peninsula, from the sinewy tradition. The word sanjo means "scattered (san) melody (jo)."It is an improvised multi-movement solo genre (similar to the Baroque instrumental dance suite) performed to the rhythmic accompaniment of the hourglass drum (changgo).
Most Korean instruments have their own version of the sanjo repertory. Eunsun Jung presents the gayageum sanjo of the lineage of the late Master Kim Byung-ho (1910-1968).
● Sinawi
It is performed improvisationally by a musical ensemble. The style first emerged in the Chungcheong and Jeolla provinces, but is now widespread. The traditional sinewy ensemble followed the principle of sam-hyeon-yuk-gag (三絃六角), with two flutes, a haegeum, a daegeum, a janggu hourglass-drum, and a large buk drum. However, today other traditional Korean instruments such as the gayageum and geomungto are also often included.
