In recent years there has been an on-going detective-like investigation to identify the mysterious musical sources, Korean or foreign, of King Sejong’s great dynastic suites. This paper demonstrates firstly the affinity between the Chinese tune-title (qûpái) Blue Sky Song and King Sejong’s dance tune Hyŏkchŏng, no. 5 in Chŏngdae’ŏp, his martial suite Settling the Great Enterprise, which celebrates the heroic founding of the Chosŏn dynasty. Secondly, it shows the relationship of the dramatic Blue Sky Song, a choral song with a unique formation dance, to the Jurchen Jin dynasty and Daoist ritual. Finally, it reveals underlying sextuple or triple rhythms in this piece and other related songs in King Sejong’s suite. After an introduction on time values, I begin by tracing the background of the assorted elements involved in the construction of King Sejong’s great suite, and finally proceed to its musical analysis and comparison. I would like to thank Dr. Lee Hye-ku of Seoul National and Prof. Kwon Ohsong of Hanyang University for their invaluable support and guidance in the years following 1988, when I began research on King Sejong’s scores.

한국연구원은 1970년 5월 한국 민속의 각 분야에 걸친 자료의 수집과 학술적 연구를 목적으로 '한국민속연구소'로 출발하였다. 그 후 1973년 5월 연구 분야를 확대하며 민속뿐만 아니라 한국학 전반에 걸친 연구를 위해 '한국학연구소'로 개편하였고, 다시 1989년 3월 한국의 국제적 위상의 부상과 함께 한국학 연구의 중요성이 높아짐에 따라 '한국학연구원'으로 확대, 개편하였다. 한국학연구원은 한국학 전반에 걸친 연구를 통해 지역과 민족문화 발전에 기여하며 한국학의 세계화를 위해서 학술활동을 강화하고 나아가 내·외국인에 대한 한국문화 교육을 담당하고자 한다.
