Hyangak (native Korean music) and dangak (Koreanized music of Chinese origin) ate given much weight in Korean Court Music. Both genres of music had been performed in Korean Court without interruption from Goryeo Dynasty (高麗, 918~1392) through Joseon Dynasty (朝鮮, 1392~1910). Though they were occasionally performed at several court rites and other ceremonies during this long period, they were mainly performed at court banquets. Quiet a few pieces of those music had been performed at various court banquets and other ceremonies in the Korean Court before 1910, but only a few of them ate left and performed in these days. Why ate only a few of them left and performed today? The reason of it might be said that the chances of performing them have gradually been reduced since the Joseon Dynasty until now. At which court occasions, then, were those pieces of music performed from the Sejong period (1418~1450) through the Yeonsan-gun period (1494~1506). This study has been carried out focused mainly on this matter and shows us many performed examples of them during this short period. Roughly the results of it can be summarized as follows. Though all the pieces of hyangak and dangak in the akji (樂志, musical section) of Goryeosa (高麗 史, History of the Goryeo Dynasty) weren't performed at the Court of Joseon Dynasty during this period, the fact that many pieces of them had been performed at the Court of Joseon Dynasty without interruption should be evaluated highly from the viewpoint of musicology. Especially newly composed pieces of hyangak and dangak as sinak (新樂, new music) by Sejong enriched the Court Music of Joseon Dynasty all the more. Among all the pieces of sinak several pieces of hyangak, which were composed on the basis of old hyangak from Goryeo and gachwiak (鼓吹樂, a kind of Royal processional music), opened a new and unique Court Music of Joseon Dynasty. According to Akhakgwebeom (樂學軌範, Guide to the Study of Court Music and Dance) and Gyeonggukdaejeon (經國大典, National Code), a large number of hyangak and dangak pieces of the Goryeo Dynasty, and those of Sejong's sinak were still performing at various court banquets and ceremonies during the Seongjong period (成宗, 1469~1494). In other words it means that both genres of music were much flourished rather than went into a decline in those days. I have noticed that the uses of hyangak in Sejong's sinak were restricted within narrow limits except for some pieces of them in those days and any performed record on Balsang (發祥, a birth of good omen), which was a hyangak piece of sinak, was not found in any annals and book since a record of it in the Annals of Sejo (世祖, 1455~1468) in 1460. Among the uses of Sejong's sinak the extensive use of Yeominak (與民樂, enjoy with people), Jeongdae-eop (定大業, founding a great dynasty), and Botaepyeong (保太平, maintaining great peace) was a motive to transmit some pieces of Sejong's sinak to the present. Especially Yeominak-man (慢) and Yeominak-ryeong (令) were the most extensively used pieces among all the hyangak of Sejong's sinak. I could not find out any record of using all the dangak pieces which were created before Sejong in the early Joseon Dynasty and that of most Sejong's new dangak pieces after the Sejong period. It means that all these pieces disappeared after the Sejong period. But some of these were still remaining in the Akhakgwebeom not as music but as dangak-jeonjae (呈才, court dance). Between the hyangak and the dangak, especially the uses of former had been regarded more important than those of the latter since the Sejong period. Among 3 hyangak-jeonjae in the akji of Goryeosa only Mue (無?, without difficulty), which was performed at the court of Sejong period, was not recorded in the Akhakgwebeom, but newly choreographed hyangak-jeonjae Botaepyeong, Jeongdae-eop, Bongnaeeui (鳳來儀, ceremony of Chinese phoenix), Hyangbal (響?, sound of small cymbals), and Hakmu (鶴舞, crane dance) in the early Joseon Dynasty enriched the world of hyangak-jeonjae in the Akhakgwebeom. Revived dangak-jeonjae Gokpa (曲破, broken melody) and Yukwbadae (六花隊, a group of six flowers) were added to 5 transmitted dangak-jeonjae from the Garyo Dynasty in this period. Especially 8 pieces of dance music for the Gokpa enlarged the number of dangak pieces in the Akhakgwebeom. But the real number of performed dangak pieces at the court banquets and ceremonies during this period were only a few. Yeonsan-gun regarded music and dance as two tools for his sensual pleasures. He loved Cheoyongmu (處容舞, a kind of mask dance) and the Hakmu of hangak-jeonjae very much. His abnormal affection for both these dances were very serious. But it curiously enough helped a lot to transmit those two dances to the present and we can see an interesting historical paradox in this aspect.

한국국악학회는 국악을 연구하여 음악학 및 민족음악의 향상에 기여할 목적으로 1948년 4월 봄에 이혜구, 장사훈, 성경린, 이주환 외 15명의 발기로 발족하여 1963년 12월 14일 사단법인체로 인가취득한 이래 1) 국악의 연구발표 2) 국악 관계자료서 수집 3) 국악에 관한 전시회 및 강연회 개최 4) 국악에 관한 출판사업 5) 국내의 학계간 교류 등의 사업을 진행해 오고 있다. 본 학회는 국악의 연구발표를 4000여회에 가까운 월례발표회를 가졌으며, 20회에 걸친 국악기 및 국악서적 전시회를 열고 3회의 신국악작곡 발표회를 가진 바 있다. 특히 학회에서는 1971년 한국음악연구 제1집을 발간한 이래 현재 제45집 출판에 이르렀으며, 30여종의 고악보 간행, 이혜구 박사 송수기념 음악학 논총, 장사훈 회갑기념 동양음악논총 등 30여권의 단행본을 출판하였다. 또한 1989년 제1회 국악학 전국대회를 열어 한국음악의 쟁점이 되는 주제를 선정하여 전국규모의 학술대회를 개최하고 있으며, 1975년 한·일간의 고려악 연구회를 발족시켜 일본의 음악학자들과의 공동연구로 심포지움을 개최하였으며, 1981년에는 국제전통음악학회(ICTM) 서울대회를 치뤄내고, 1994년에는 제1회 아시아 태평양 민족음악학회(APSE)를 서울에서, 1999년에는 제6회 아시아 태평양 민족음악학회(APSE)를 수원에서 성황리에 치뤄내는 등 외국학회와 교류에 힘써왔다.
