SOLMIZATION
Sol `mi *za "tion, n. Etym: [F. solmisation, fr. solmiser to sol-fa; --called from the musical notes sol, mi. See Sol-fa. ] (Mus. )
Defn: The act of sol-faing. [Written also solmisation. ]
Note: This art was practiced by the Greeks; but six of the seven syllables now in use are generally attributed to Guido d' Arezzo, an Italian monk of the eleventh century, who is said to have taken them from the first syllables of the first six lines of the following stanza of a monkish hymn to St. John the Baptist. -- Ut queant laxis Resonare fibris Mira gestorum Famuli tuorum Solve polluti Labii reatum, Sancte Joannes. Professor Skeat says the name of the seventh note, si, was also formed by him [Guido ] from the initials of the two words of the last line; but this is disputed, Littré attributing the first use of it to Anselm of Flanders long afterwards. The syllable do is often substituted for ut.
New American Oxford Dictionary
solmization
sol mi za tion |ˌsälmiˈzāSHən, sōl -ˌsɑlməˈzeɪʃən | ▶noun Music a system of associating each note of a scale with a particular syllable, esp. to teach singing. The most common European system, still in use, originally named the notes ut, re, mi, fa, sol, la in groups of six (hexachords ) beginning on G, C, or F, using syllables from a Latin hymn for St. John the Baptist's Day in which each phrase begins on the next note in the scale: “ Ut queant laxis re sonare fibris Mi ra gestorum fa muli tuorum, Sol ve polluti la bili reatum, Sancte Iohannes.” A seventh note si was added later (from the initials of Sancte Iohannes ). Modern systems typically use the sequence as arbitrarily adapted in the 19th century: do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, with do being C in the fixed-do system and the keynote in the movable-do or tonic sol-fa system. ORIGIN mid 18th cent.: from French solmisation, based on sol ‘sol ’ + mi .
