DESCRIPTION
DE JAER, BAUDOUIN
Compositions for Geomungo and Gayageum

Label : Sub Rosa
Year : 2010
Format : 2xCD
Style : Contemporary Music
Availability : Out of stock


Description :The Geomungo, the zither of the kingdom of Goguryeo is one of the oldest korean instruments. It is sometime called the 'black zither.' It can be traced back to the 4th century, when it was used exclusively in the sacred setting of court music. Gayageum according to legend and to recent archeological digs, the Gayageum is a millennial zither-like instrument featured in all korean traditional repertoires. The Gayageum was probably inspired by its chinese close relatives (the Guzheng, Seul and Chuk). Its name derives from the ancient kingdom of Gaya. It is said that 1,300 years ago, King Gasil ordered musician wu ruk to build this beautiful instrument out of paulownia wood.

Baudouin de Jaer is exploring these ancestral vibrations. and, like a researcher who cannot stop digging ever deeper, he unveils, with sincere spontaneity, the fundamentals of korea's traditional cultures. His music includes the natural evocations Koreans hold so dear: rivers bouncing off of rocks, stones giving away under one's steps and dancing down the hill, skies slowly growing darker, in the silent moments preceding the crashes of a thunderstorm and its heavy summer showers... the relationship with nature, the earth, the sky, the shamanic dances that maintain this delicate balance - they are all in this music.

Composer, violonist, Baudouin de Jaer studied composition with Philippe Boesmans, Henri Pousseur, Frederic Rzewski and at McGill University (Montréal) with Bruce Mather. He composes for the Korean instruments Daegeum, Haegeum, Gayageum and Geomungo, and for orchestras of Korean traditional instruments. In 2010 he resolved the enigmatic music system of Swiss artist Adolf Wölfli and released a CD called 'The Heavenly Ladder' on the Sub Rosa label (SR312).

In 2010, Baudouin de Jaer was awarded a prize from the National Gugak Center for his Gayageum compositions.
