*''Korean'': 雅楽 ''(aak)''
''Aak'' (lit. "elegant music") was the primary form of formal ritual music of the royal court in the Korean kingdoms of [[Koryo]] ([[918]]-[[1392]]) and [[Joseon]] (1392-[[1897]]).
Though earlier Korean kingdoms such as [[Goguryeo]] had their own [[Tang Dynasty|Tang]]-influenced court music which had a significant impact on the formation of Japanese ''[[gagaku]]'', Koryo requested on numerous occasions that the [[Song dynasty]] aid Koryo in adopting "high" Song court culture, including court music, and ultimately received that assistance. Some sources identify [[1116]] as the year that Song-influenced ''aak'' was introduced into Korea, with the help of Song [[emperor Huizong]].<ref>Chia-Ying Yeh, "The Revival and Restoration of Ryukyuan Court Music, Uzagaku: Classification and Performance Techniques, Language Usage, and Transmission," PhD thesis, University of Sheffield (2018), 16.</ref>
[[King Sejong]] of Joseon reformed or formalized ''aak'' further in the early 15th century, combining the formal ''aak'' tradition with ''dangak'' (唐楽, Tang music) and ''hyangak'' (郷楽, native Korean "village music") traditions into a new form of formal ritual ''aak'' court music.<ref>Gallery labels, "Story of King Sejong," King Sejong Square, Seoul.</ref>
