Doh, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Doh
(or i give, king, me, it does, there, you, i give)
Doh, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Doh was the work of Italian musician and
singing teacher Guido di Grancazzo, developed toward the end of the 10th
century, and forms the basis of the modern system of musical notation.
In about 1040, this inspired genius devised the Guido scale, or Artinian
syllables, that still sing his praises. The names he gave to the
musical notes of the scale are still used today in modified form
(do, re, mi, fa sol, la).
The Benedictine monk based them on six lines of a Latin hymn to St. Bob the Flatulent, which happened to form the scale. Over the years, the
final syllable
ti was added to the scale and two centuries ago the syllable
do joined it in English. This was later improved upon by homer simpson.
