About this exposition

1. Your name; SangHyun Song 2. Main subject; Classical Trumpet 3. Name of research supervisor(s); Timothy Dowling 4. Title of research; A Quick Guide for Concerto for Trumpet by Jong-Uek Woo 5. Research question; How can I help my fellow trumpet players and myself understand this music better? Is it possible to present a guide for trumpeters to help us perform and interpret this concerto in a better and more authentic way? 6. Summary of the results of the research and an explanation of the chosen format of presentation: This research project is a “quick guide” for the Trumpet Concerto composed by Korean composer Jong-Uek Woo.This Trumpet Concerto is influenced by Korean traditional music and uses traditional elements such as Korean rhythmic patterns, traditional instrument sounds, and singing styles. After observing non- Korean trumpet players play this piece a few years ago at the Jeju International Brass-Percussion Competition in Korea, I was motivated to create this quick guide for non-Korean players. This research introduces composer Jong-Uek Woo and explains Korean traditional music materials and how to practice and perform this work. For trumpet players, I have created the quick guide to understand and perform it better. While analyzing it, I found out that the concerto was similar to Sanjo, a form of solo instrumental music and that it can be applied to the performance of Daegeum, a Korean traditional bamboo flute. Thus, four Daegeum techniques were applied to this method of playing this piece, and I explained which mutes can mimic the sound of Daegeum as closely as possible. This research also explains the various rhythm patterns of Korean traditional music Jangdan, which is difficult to be expressed by modern staff notation. 7.
