<FONT FACE="Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:14.0px'>A good questions. I have witnessed Kim Keumhwa, the Naramansin, on several occasions teaching her apprentices and associates the gut liturgy by presenting the libretto from her vast repertoire from memory learned orally, and they were writing it down. It is a striking experience to realize how, still, so much oral culture is still accessible.<BR>

hi, Frank, great...<BR>
Question: are the texts of mask dances, pansori, muga, (add folk songs, maybe early sijo, the Cheoyong-ga...) literature?<BR>

This for sure is not literature -- but I thought I mention it anyway, given how important Chinoiserie and Japonism were for upper class arts and art collectors in Europe and North America, but that there was never anything like Koreanism -- this is as close as you get:<BR>

"Die Braut von Korea" (<B>The Bride from Korea</B>)<BR>

The ballet was performed 38 times between 1897 and 1901 at the Wiener Hofoper (Vienna Court Opera)--that was the time when Gustav Mahler was the director there.<BR>
