Younghi Pagh-Paan (born November 30, 1945 in Cheongju , South Korea ) is a South Korean composer . She lives in Bremen and Panicale , Italy.
Life
From 1965 to 1972 she studied composition and musicology at Seoul State University . In 1974 she came to Germany and studied composition with Klaus Huber (her partner), analysis with Brian Ferneyhough , music theory with Peter Förtig and piano with Edith Picht-Axenfeld at the Hochschule für Musik Freiburg until 1979 .
Pagh-Paan got her stage name in the 1970s by adding the addition Paan ( kor. 파안 , Hanja 琶 案 ) to her family name Pagh, which is very common in Korea . Pa ( 琶 ) symbolizes the musical and relates to the musical instrument pipa ( 琵琶 ) and an ( 案 ) to the end of the plan, which together reflects the composer. There is also the same Sino-Korean reading paan in the Hanja 破 顔 in 破 顔 大笑 ( 파안대소 ), which means something like " burst into loud laughter".
In her compositions she tries to combine Korean folklore and avant-garde .
“... without a doubt I am only at the beginning of a development, the banks of which I cannot yet foresee. But I would like to be able to rely on one thing: That I will not write music that removes me from what is still inherent in me as the root of our culture. "
She made international fame for the performance of her orchestral work Sori at the Donaueschinger Musiktage in 1980. From 1994 she taught as a professor of composition at the Hochschule für Künste Bremen , where she founded the New Music studio, which she headed until her retirement in 2011. On her retirement, she was awarded the Bremen Medal for Art and Science .
