Do Re Mi

"When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything"

"The beginning base value of music understanding.

Using the syllables ut, re, mi, fa, sol, and la as names for the six tones, C to A, an Italian monk named Guido d'Arezzo (990-1050) created the system of Solmization, a system of using syllables, especially sol-fa like syllables, to represent the tones of the scale (known as the Guido System).

Each hexachord could start on G, C or F. Modern musicians think in terms of octaves. The concept of hexachords was fundamental to music theory throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance.

Hexachord(from Gk. hex, ‘six’, chordē, ‘string’).

A scale segment consisting of six adjacent notes with the interval pattern tone–tone–semitone–tone–tone:

the ‘natural’ hexachord (hexachordum naturale)
C–D–E–F–G–A,

the ‘soft’ hexachord (hexachordum molle)
F–G–A–B♭–C–D,

and the ‘hard’ hexachord (hexachordum durum)
G–A–B–C–D–E.


Later in history 'Ut' was replaced by the more easily singable 'Do,' and another syllable, si or ti, was added at the end, giving the scale of seven syllables called do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti, which forms the present basic system of singing names for the tones of the scale.

The syllable sol was later shortened to 'So,' making all of the syllables uniform in spelling and all ending with a vowel.

Initially written by Paolo Diacono as a hymn to Saint John the Baptist (ca 720 - 799), the Latin words "Ut queant laxis, Resonare fibris, Mira gestorum, Famuli tuorum, Solve polluti, Labii reatum,"

1. UT - Queant Laxis (later changed to "DO")
2. RE - Sonare Fibris
3. MI - Ra Gestorum
4. FA - Muli Tuorum
5. SOL - Ve Polluti
6. LA - 0 Bii reatum

gamut: A complete range or the entire series of recognized notes.
\Gam"ut\, n. [F. gamme + ut the name of a musical note.

Gamma, the Greek letter Γ, used to represent the first lowest tone of (G) in the Medieval Scale
gamma gam·ma (gām'ə) n.

Symbol γ The third letter of the Greek alphabet.

The third item in a series or system of classification.

In the modern scale, "C" is the third letter of the alphabet, but the first note of the middle scale.

ut:
noun:
1: the local time at the 0 meridian passing through Greenwich, England; it is the same everywhere
2: the syllable naming the first (tonic) note of any major scale in solmization [syn: do, doh]

The Ancient Solfeggio Frequencies – “The Perfect Circle of Sound”

"The Solfeggio frequencies contain the six pure tonal notes that were once used to make up the ancient musical scale. Each of the six Solfeggio frequencies correspond to, not only a note on the tonal scale, but to a cycle per second hz frequency number, and to a specific color, and, ultimately, to a particular chakra in the body.

For instance, middle C is related to the 528 hz frequency tone, which is associated to the color green, which, in turn, is related to the heart chakra. It is the third note on the scale and relates to the note "MI" on the scale and derives from the phrase "MI-ra gestorum" in Latin meaning "miracle."

"528 cycles per second is literally the core creative frequency of nature. It is love. The 528 hz frequency is known as, the "528 Miracle," because it has the remarkable capacity to heal and repair DNA within the body and is the exact frequency that has been used by genetic biochemists. Green, of course, is the primary color of our Mother Earth, because our planet vibrates to the frequency of love or of the heart.

These original Solfeggio frequencies, still have the capacity to transform your life in miraculous ways. Their origins date back to ancient times when they were sung in the Gregorian chants during religious ceremonies in churches of that time. But mysteriously, around 1050 AD, they mysteriously disappeared, presumably lost forever.

These chants contained special tones or frequencies which, when sung in harmony, and in Latin, were believed to impart tremendous spiritual blessings during religious masses. Apparently, the combination of these sacred tones and the Latin intonation, had the power to penetrate deep into the recesses of the subconscious mind and promote great healing and transformation."

UT – 396 Hz – Liberating Guilt and Fear

RE – 417 Hz – Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change

MI – 528 Hz – Transformation and Miracles (DNA Repair)

FA – 639 Hz – Connecting/Relationships

SOL – 741 Hz – Expression/Solutions

LA – 852 Hz – Awakening Intuition
