Kut ritual reveals various lifestyles of Korean people, such as varied artistic types, clothing, decorations, ritual and customs ranging from religious ceremony to music, dance, oral tradition, drama, play and so on. Especially, Ssitgim Kut contains even death ceremony consoling the deceased's soul as well as art and life. The procedure of Kut differs according to local area and Kut situations. This study was to explore the procedures and the music of the Kut ritual in Honam region, - focused on Suncheon Ssitgim Kut. The ritual procedures of this Kut are performed in a series of 〈1. Jowang Kut〉 〈2. Anddang〉 〈 3. Josang Kut〉 〈4. Jeseok Kut〉 〈5. Honmaji〉 〈6. Ogu Kut〉 〈7. Gapuri〉 〈8. Ssitgim〉 〈9. Gildakeum〉 〈10. Geori Kut〉. The above 10 procedures are divided to two parts; the first half, from Jowang Kut to Jeseok Kut with a character of celebrating living people, and the second half, from Honmaji to Geori Kut, washing the deceased's soul and leading it to the heaven. Among 10 procedures, 〈1. Jowang Kut〉 and 〈10. Geori Kut〉 were performed by Gain -the instrument player-, and 8 procedures from 〈2. Andang〉 to 〈9. Gildakeum〉 were performed by Danggol. There were 35 songs totally in 8 procedures. This study analyzed the musical characteristics of 35 Kut songs in three aspects of the rhythmic pattern -Jangdan-, the mode, and the musical style. The first, the eight Jangdan were used, representative Jangdan of Ssitgim Kut in Jeonnam region, such Dongsalpuri, Jinyangjo, Jungmori, Jungjungmori, Gutgeori, Dungdeoggungi, Eotmori and, Oijangu without any fixed rhythm. The second, the Kut songs of Suncheon Ssitgim Kut were sung in 3 modes ; Yukjabaegi-Mok, Gutgeori-Mok, and Nangsongjo, and the songs in Yukjabaegi-Mok took its most part. The third, the style of singing Kut songs seemed to have to do with the poetic form of songs; a poem in stanza form was strophic, and a poem of continuous verse structure was set to through- composed music. And the style was related to Jangdan also. The strophic songs were concentrated on Jungmori, Jungjungmori, Gutgeori Jangdans.
