Everything about Taepyeongso totally explained
The
taepyeongso (lit. "big peace wind instrument"; also called
hojok,
hojeok,
nallari, or
saenap) is a Korean
double reed wind instrument in the
shawm or
oboe family. It generally has a conical wooden body made from
yuja (citron),
daechu (
jujube), or yellow
mulberry wood, with a metal mouthpiece and cup-shaped metal bell, although some are made entirely of metal.
The loud and piercing sound it produces has kept it confined mostly to
Korean folk music (especially "
farmer's band music") and to
marching bands, the latter performed for royalty in the genre known as
daechwita. It is, however, also used in the court genre known as
Jongmyo Jeryeak (Royal Ancestral Shrine music).
It was probably derived from a
Chinese instrument like the
suona. It came to Korea from China during the
Goryeo period.
The instrument has been used in contemporary popular music;
Seo Tai-ji & Boys combined it with
heavy metal music in the 1994 song "Hayeoga."
