In music, solfège is a mnemonic used in teaching aural skills, pitch and sight-reading of Western music.
Syllables are assigned to the notes of the scale and assist the musician in audiating, or mentally hearing, the pitches of a piece of music, often for the purpose of singing them aloud.
Originates from
Ut queant laxīs resonāre fibrīs
Mīra gestōrum famulī tuōrum,
Solve pollūtī labiī reātum,
Sancte Iohannēs.

So that your servants may with loosened voices
Resound the wonders of your deeds,
Clean the guilt from our stained lips,
O Saint John.
“Ut” was changed in the 1600s in Italy to the open syllable Do.
Sarah Anna Glover
