Concentration and texture of emotions in the musical expression of Sim Bongsa's crying

In Simcheongga, Sim bongsa is depicted as losing precious things one after another and repeatedly screaming. His cries are expressed in slightly different music depending on the object of loss and the situation. This study examined how the difference in concentration and texture is made in various musical expressions of sadness in pansori. Simcheongga was divided into four paragraphs based on the loss of Sim bongsa: i) the loss of Mrs. Kwak, ii) the loss of her daughter, Simcheong, iii) the loss of Mrs. Bbang-pa and his clothes, and iv) the restoration (復棋) of all the losses of Simcheong, who became an empress. Sim bongsa initially denies the situation and feels angry; however, she eventually negotiates and learns to accept it, but still suffers from depression. The pain she felt during the denial and anger stage was expressed in furious tears. Unorganized emotions are expressed in a confusing and complex rhythm, with the crying sound of screaming and stretching at a high pitch repeated multiple times. The mode mainly uses a Gye-meyon (界面調) mode of sadness. The ending in which a sound similar to a deep sigh is expressed instead of one that gives a sense of stability also matches the sentiment. Meanwhile, the negotiation and acceptance stage was expressed using a slower beat, with a stable rhythm. The mid-range was widely used by occasionally mixing major tones.
