Solfège

Solfedge was created by benidictian monk Guido of Arezoo to help simplify the concepts of pitch for his students.[1] Guido got musical syllables from the the latin hymn "Ut queant laxis", a hymn made for the Catholic saint, St. John the Baptist, by another benidictian monk named Paulus Diaconus.[2] At the time of its creation, the system originally only had four musical syllables; Ut, Re, Mi, Fa, La.[3]
