This music begins with the small disturbances and movements that drift through a village. Each instrument imitates or collides with others, forming relationships at its own pace and direction within a loose field of tension. Rather than presenting a unified community grounded in harmony, the music depicts the fractures of a small village and a state of coexistence that persists while differences are maintained. Seemingly scattered and trivial fragments accumulate into a single sound, within which the community appears not as a completed form, but as a process that is continually forming and expanding.
작은 마을에서 들려오는 사소한 소란과 움직임에서 출발한 음악이다. 각 악기는 서로를 흉내내거나 부딪히며, 느슨한 긴장 속에서 저마다의 속도와 방향으로 관계를 만들어나간다. 이 음악은 조화를 전제로 한 하나의 공동체라기보다, 차이를 유지한 채 이어지는 작은 마을의 균열과 그 사이에서 형성되는 공존의 상태를 그린다. 산만하고 사소해 보이는 조각들이 축적되어 하나의 소리를 이루고, 그 안에서 공동체는 완결된 형태가 아니라 끊임없이 형성되고 팽창하는 과정으로 드러난다.
Performed by Jeju Provincial Seogwipo Wind Orchestra Composed by Yoonjung Lee
This work is a fantasy for wind orchestra based on “Bongjiga,” a folk song in Jeju. The title of the piece originated from the lyrics “Bongji (flower bud Jeju dialect).” The text of this old tune expresses the meaning of losing, which is the wonderful nature of circulation, blooming, and losing. The music captures the traditional melody newly in pandiatonic scale.
