The Sound of Nature – SamulNori

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

I’m OOO and I’m in my O year at OO school.

Before I start my speech today, let me show you something.

(The Kwaengwari play)

Isn’t this so exciting? If you think so, you have come to the right place.

When I was ten years old, my mother took me to a SamulNori concert at Childrend’s Grand Park.

There, I was so impressed by SamulNori.

SamulNori is the Korean traditional musical play with four different percussion instruments; the Ging, the JangGo, the Buk, and the Kwaengwari. 

I’m sincerely sorry that I cannot show you this spectacular play right here. Instead, I’m going to briefly explain the characteristics of these instruments one by one.

The Kwaenggwari acts as the leader of the troupe. As the Kwaenggwari creates the main rhythms, the JangGo follows the rhythms and divides it into small groups. The Ging covers for the Kwaenggwari and the Buk helps the JangGo continue on while following the original rhythm.

The four instruments of the SamulNori represent features of Korea. The sound of the SamulNori is the sound of nature. The Kwaengwari represents the sound of a thunderstorm. The Ging represents the sound of the wind, The JangGo represents the sound of the rain.  The Buk represents the sound for the clouds.

These four different instruments are all incredible. However, when they get together in the name of “SamulNori”, they make unbelievable and dynamic rhythms. 

As a proud Korean, I suggest watching SamulNori.

Thank you for listening.
