From the first syllables of the verses of this hymn called "Ut queant Laxis", comes the names of the musical notes of the modern Latin notation. This names were invented by Guido D'Arezzo in the eleventh century. He used the first syllable of each verse, except the last (Si): Ut, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La. Centuries later, Anselm of Flanders introduced the name of the missing note combining the initials of Sancte Ioannes. This is my way to say welcome to the beginning of my blog!
Best!
