About this track

❄️ Still, Gyeongbok Palace (Carols in Snowy Silence) The 'Still, Gyeongbok Palace' album began with a single question: "What would a Christmas carol sound like echoing through Gyeongbok Palace during the first snow?" This album is a unique collection of 'Gugak Jazz Carols,' blending warm Western Christmas melodies with the quiet, elegant winter sentiment of Korea. It offers a mystical experience, as if familiar carols are resonating from beneath the snow-covered eaves of an ancient palace. This album boldly omits drums and bass. Instead, it weaves the clear resonance of the Gayageum (zither), the breathy notes of the Daegeum (flute), and the soulful melody of the Haegeum (two-string fiddle) over a foundation of warm jazz piano chords. The minimal and lyrical arrangements maximize the sacred and peaceful atmosphere of original carols like 'Silent Night' and 'In the Bleak Midwinter.' You will experience a quiet, clear soundscape where you can almost hear the soft piling of the snow. This album is a gift for those seeking calm, deep relaxation instead of loud party music this holiday season. It is the perfect BGM for the emotional moment of the first snow, quiet contemplation on a winter night, or a time of peaceful meditation. Discover the most Korean, yet uniquely exotic, healing music that the 'Still,' series has to offer. #GugakJazz #Carol #JazzCarol #GyeongbokPalace #FirstSnow #Zither #HealingMusic #Instrumental #FusionJazz #Still
