Has anyone ever wondered why Do is called Do, Re is called Re, and Mi is called Mi? The story behind the origin of the musical scale is interesting and unexpected.
It all begins with a Benedictine monk who lived in the 11th century (995–1050), named Guido d’Arezzo. He noticed a peculiarity in a very popular hymn to Saint John the Baptist at the time.
This hymn was composed of 7 verses, each with a different musical note. For this reason, the monk named each note using the first two letters of each verse. Here is the hymn:
Ut queant laxis (Ut) Resonare fibris (Re) Mira gestorum (Mi) Famuli tuorum (Fa) Solve polluti (Sol) Labii reatum (La) Sancte Ioannes (Si)
(So that your servants, with free voices, may resound the wonders of your deeds, cleanse the guilt from our stained lips, O Saint John the Baptist)
Since the syllable “Ut” was not easy to sing, it was replaced by “Do” in 1640 by Giovanni Battista Doni.
Not many people in the world of music, today so far removed from God, know that the names of the musical notes come from a hymn to the greatest of His prophets. Happy Saint John’s Day!
