Abstract

This study comparatively analyzed the instrumentation and the voicing structure, which were shown in the film music titled "Star Wars-Main Title" by John Williams(1932~), with analytical technique that the writer mapped out, and aimed to discover the progression principle in orchestration based on the results. Also, it applied a functional part-division method that was classified and distributed into 3 functional parts according to auditory cognitive level as for each of functional elements such as the musical element. And, it made it pattern for the vertical structure and the voicing structure in musical instruments, which were distributed to each functional part based on this, and comparatively analyzed the standard point in a change which were shown according to progression of music, namely, the operating technique. As for the results of this study, first, each theme has specific instrumentation pattern. Unity was emphasized by consistently organizing those things in exposition, reprise, and recapitulation of each theme. To reinforce diversity, an attempt was made such as adding and reducing auxiliary instruments in the middle part and the rear part. Second, even in a change of instrumentation pattern by passage in accordance with a change in theme amid each part, the same instrumental group was organized in the middle part, thereby having maintained unity. Third, to strengthen diversity by clause, which is forming each theme, a continuous change in voicing pattern was created by adding or omitting a part. Fourth, the voicing concentration was maintained the structure of "thinness-thickness" in the whole musical piece. However, in part 2 that is repeated theme 3, diversity was pursued with a unique change of "thickness-thickness." Fifth, in part 4 that is indicated theme 4, the other diversity was intensified with the inverted range in the front part and the middle part. Accordingly, based on the conclusions that were indicated in this work, it is desired to be conducive to understanding the horizontal consideration and the progression principle of orchestration.

본 논문은 존 윌리엄스(John Williams, 1932~)의 영화음악 "Star Wars-Main Title"에 나타난 악기편성과 보이싱 구조를 필자가 구상한 분석기법으로 비교 분석하고, 그 결과를 토대로 관현악 편곡의 진행 원리를 발견하는데 목적을 두었다. 또한 음악적 기본 요소들을 청각 인식도에 따라 3개의 기능 성부에 구분 배치한 기능적 성부 분할법을 적용하였다. 그리고 이를 바탕으로 관현악의 수직적 구조와 보이싱 구조를 패턴화하여 음악의 진행에 따라 나타난 변화와 운용 기법을 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구결과는 첫째, 각 주제는 특정한 악기편성 패턴을 갖고 있으며 각 주제의 제시부, 반복부, 재현부에서 그것들을 일관되게 편성하여 통일성을 강조하고, 다양성 제고를 위해 중경부와 후경부에 보조적인 악기의 추가와 가감 또는 교체가 시도되었다. 둘째, 각 단락 속에서 주제의 변화에 따른 악절별 악기 편성 패턴의 변화에도 중경부에 동일한 악기군을 편성하여 통일성을 유지하였다. 셋째, 각 주제를 이루고 있는 악구별로 다양성을 제고하기 위해 성부의 추가나 생략에 의해 끊임없는 보이싱 패턴의 변화가 일어났다. 넷째, 악곡 전체적으로 보이싱 농도가 "엷음-두터움"의 구조가 유지되었지만, 제3주제가 반복되는 제2단락에서는 "두터움-두터움"의 독특한 변화로 다양성을 추구하였다. 다섯째, 제4주제가 나타나는 제4단락에서는 전경부와 중경부 음역의 역배치로 또 다른 다양성이 제고되었다. 따라서 이 작품속에서 나타난 결론들을 토대로 관현악 편곡의 진행 원리 이해에 도움이 되었으면 한다.
