Jeongak (lit. "proper music") is a classical genre of Korean traditional music, in contrast with minsogak or Korean traditional folk music.[1] The genre has traditionally been associated with the nobility and upper classes.
The best known pieces of jeongak are Sujecheon and the suite entitled Yeongsan Hoesang (영산회상; 靈山會相). Another commonly performed jeongak suite is called Cheonnyeonmanse (천년만세; 千年萬歲).
Jeongak includes court music (국중음악; gungjung eumak) and chamber music (풍류음악; pungryu eumak).[2]
