'Chosun Aak Cheongsu' is composed of thirteen SP discs recorded in 1928. It contains court banquet and ritual music of Chosun Dynasty (1392-1910), including Huimun, Dokgyeong, and Takjeong among Royal Ancestral Shrine Music. It is a valuable source to understand the musical characteristics of the music of the last dynasty. I transcribe and analyze these pieces to compare them with the present music. 'Huimun' in this recording is the same piece as the present Jeonpye-Huimun. The former runs about three minutes while the latter runs about seven minutes. The capacity of the SP made this result. In Dokgyeong and Takjeong, the tone cheong-hwangjong(c") is lowered to the tone muyeok (b♭') and becomes the vibration tone when it appears in front of or in the back of the tone cheong-hyeopjong(e ♭'). This phenomena, resulted from 'the change of the gyemyeon-jo mode', has appeared from the 18th century and is also shown in present music.
