(Boosey & Hawkes Chamber Music). Piri came into being two and a half years after Isang Yun was imprisoned in Seoul. 'Piri' is the name of the traditional Korean oboe, of which at least three kinds exist in different sizes. They were (and are) mainly used in the traditional courtly and aristocratic music of Korea: the shorter 'se-p'iri' in the aristocratic song genres 'kagok' and 'kasa', the larger 'hyang-p'iri' in the court orchestra, and also in shamanistic ceremonies in which the 'p'iri' has a spiritual signi cance. With Piri, Yun once again transferred the expressive character and tonal possibilities of a traditional instrument to a Western instrument, in this case to the oboe. Yun initially replaced the Korean and East Asian-influenced interval structures with those of the Western twelve-tone technique that he had acquired from Schoenberg s pupil Josef Rufer in Berlin. Nevertheless, in terms of gestures, phrasing, ornamentation, dynamics, and vibrato, he oriented himself on Asian music, which di?ers substantially from European music.
