Abstract
I would like to inquire into the aspects and function of NoraeGarak Songs in Seoul Saenam Gut.(Gut; Shamanisitc ceremony)Gamang NoraeGarak and Sangsan NoraeGarak are the bases of the AndangSakyongMaji, the first half of Seoul Saenam Gut, a way of appealing one’s wishes to the Spirits. Those songs make us realize how we are linked to the universe, and lead us to the transcendence and university.
In the course of JinOgwi Gut, which is held to wish for the dead to reach Heaven in their next life, the audiences feel the life’s futility and seek the oneness with the gods beyond nihility of the life.
NoraeGarak Songs are mostly didactic as is the shaman songs usual.
However, NoraeGarak Songs show the gradual process by which they got the lyricism.
The similes of the JosangChukwon(pray for ancestors for luck and fortune)are adapted to the BonHyang NoraeGarak Songs(songs for original form of native place).
But they are lack of the lyricism, for they are related to the Gut texture,and we can not understand the poem in itself. By comparison, the first song of Jungdi NoraeGarak is real lyric, free from didactic characteristics.
NoraeGarak Songs in Seoul Saenam Gut shows the progress; the similes of the didactic songs, metonymic step, and the metaphorical lyric.
