The Story of Solfège i Mar 30, 2018 · by James Bennett II One of the more enduring moments from The Sound of Music comes when a free-spirited Maria von Trapp (Julie Andrews) takes a handful of giddy Austrian children out for a singing rampage through Salzburg, Austria. Do-Re-Mi from The Sound of Music (Official HD Video) Watch on By the middle of the 19th century, the "fa so la" system of four syllables had acquired a major rival, namely the seven-syllable "do re mi" system. Thus, music compilers began to add three more shapes to their books to match the extra syllables. Numerous seven-shape notations were devised. On a Fixed Do scale the A Note is assigned to La, the A was assigned because it has the precision of the frequency (440 Hz) which doesn't have decimals, so it's easier to remember. So you end up with a correspondence as follows. A = La B = Si C = Do D = Re E = Mi F = Fa G = Sol Lyrics By Oscar Hammerstein II Music By Richard Rodgers "Do-Re-Mi" is Maria's teaching song, sung to the reluctant children, who have just been introduced to yet another governess. Though the children tell Maria there is no music in the house, she forges ahead, unperturbed. One by one, the children warm to Maria and the notion of singing. He assigned the notes of the scale—C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C—a syllable: Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do. Yes, it actually is sol: it's traditionally written that way when the tonic Guido of Arezzo is thought likely to have originated the modern Western system of solmization by introducing the ut-re-mi-fa-so-la syllables, which derived from the initial syllables of each of the first six half-lines of the first stanza of the hymn Ut queant laxis.
