Hangul 수제천 Revised Romanization Sujecheon | Hanja 壽濟天 McCune–Reischauer Sujech'ŏn | |
Sujecheon is an ancient Korean court music composition in four movements. It is the most representative piece in the jeongak repertoire. It is performed by an ensemble composed primarily of wind instruments, including the piri and daegeum. It originally had a vocal part, but today is performed instrumentally. The title Sujecheon may be translated as "Long Life, Immeasurable as the Heavens."
It was composed during the Silla period and was originally used as a form of banquet music. It was derived from a piece called Jeongup or Jeongupsa (Jeongupsa refers to the music's lyrics).
