This paper is aimed to examine the transmission patterns of Arirang musical pieces sung in overseas Korean residents’ societies in China and Russia. To this end, the musical pieces contained in the CD record 「Overseas Korean Residents’ Arirang Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of National Liberation Day」 published by Shinnara Record comprising sound source data recorded on-site were analyzed and studied.
According to the results, except for several created works, most Arirang musical pieces sung in overseas Korean residents’ societies in China and Russia are the same variations of Arirang musical pieces being handed down in South Korean society. Although the titles are different, some changes were made in the scales or rhythms, and diverse individual or impromptu variations are played depending on singing persons, it can be seen that major rhythm patterns or melody types are based on important existing musical pieces in Arirang groups.
The results are organized as follows.
Region Original music China Russia Remark Bonjo Arirang Haeju Arirang (Cha Byeong-Geol) Arirang(Kim Dong-Sik) Arirang(Lee Byeong-Ok) Sakhalin Bonjo Arirang (Jeong Seong-Ae) Sakhalin Bonjo Arirang (Lee Jeong-Nam) Arirang compilation 1 (Jeon Du-Han)

Based on the table, it could be seen that Arirang musical pieces being handed down in overseas Korean residents' societies have originated in <Bonjo Arirang>․<Gujo Arirang>․<Jajin Arari(Gangwon-do Arirang)>․<Jeongseon Arirang>․<Jeongseon compiled Arirang>․<Jin-do Arirang>․<Milyang Arirang>․<Haeju Arirang> and that most musical pieces in overseas Korean residents’ societies are variations of these musical pieces. This phenomenon was not exceptional to those Arirang musical pieces that had been handed down in South Korea and North Korea. Therefore, among the diverse Arirang musical pieces handed down in the Korean peninsula and overseas Korean residents’ societies today, these musical pieces may be regarded to have musical identity. <Long Arirang> sung as a performance event of Gyeong gi master singers may be added to them.
Through this paper, it could be seen that the patterns of Arirang musical pieces sung in overseas Korean residents’ societies are not much different from those sung in the Korean peninsula. However, since the data utilized in this study were limited, this author hopes that studies on Arirang musical pieces sung in overseas Korean residents’ societies can be deepened hereafter through follow-up studies with supplemented data.
