Do-re-mi 的由來

Do-re-mi 的由來


十一世紀一位意大利修士以一首給施洗約翰的詩歌為音階命名...

In the eleventh century Guido of Arezzo, a monk of Pomposa, introduced an important one. He gave names to the notes of the musical scale— by taking the first syllables of each half-line of a hymn to John the Baptist—and created a musical staff on which to notate them.


(The lines “Ut queant laxis resonare floris” yielded ut [today we use do] and re; “Mira gestorum famuli tuorum” gave us mi and fa; “Solve polluti labii reatum” resulted in sol and la.)
