	Solfege - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first syllable in each half line corresponds to the solfege syllable, with the exception of the first, "Ut," which was changed to the more singable "Do." The original hymn did not start a phrase upon the seventh scale degree.
		In colloquial language, singers sometimes incorrectly use "solfege" and "sight reading" as synonyms; sight reading means reading the piece without benefit of previous study, or numerical sight-singing, where the solfege syllables are replaced by the numbers one through seven.
		Solresol, a constructed language that had the solfege notes as syllables and could be sung or played as well as spoken.

		Solfege, Solfeggio, Sol-fa, Fasola, Shape Note Singing and sight singing are all terms used to describe a system that was developed to provide the singer with a visual clue for which note to sing.

	Central Washington University - Music: Music Theory
		Solfege (or Solmization) is a way of singing scale tones with syllables.
		The solfege system has been extended to include inflections for chromatic scale steps, so that one can sing different syllables for chromatically inflected notes, so that one differentiate between major and minor scales.
		As educated musicians you should be aware of the solfege system, and have a working knowledge of how to use it.

	Solfege
		Solfege was a pedagogical technique created by Guido of Arezzo.
		The syllable names come from a formerly well-known medieval hymn, entitled Ut queant laxis, in which each successive verse starts on the next higher scale degree in the major scale; The first word in each verse corresponds to the solfege syllable, with the exception of "Do," which was "Ut" in the hymn.
		In colloquial language, singers sometimes use "solfege" and "sight reading" as synonyms, though sight reading[?] can also mean reading the piece without benefit of previous study, or numerical sight-singing, where the hard-to-memorize solfege syllables are replaced by the numbers one through seven.

		The use of solfege is for pitch training.
		So, solfege allows students to learn naturally by singing and associating those sounds with a place on the keyboard, and later a symbol on the page.
		You can either write the solfege names in the book so that you can refer to it while singing, or just sing la la la to the pitches.

	Audiomat Solfege Reference Integrated Tube Amplifier by Bob Neill
		The Solfege is designated expressly "unforgiving." I am sitting here, my five times more expensive Canadian hybrid electronics and British monitors set aside, listening to a $4,390 French tube amp drive a pair of French Reynaud Offrandes.
		The Solfege does not do exquisite, liquid, or refined beauty with the Offrandes any more than it does with the Monitor 30's; but, as I said, this characteristic is far less noticeable with the Offrandes.
		The Solfege is plugged into a dedicated 20 amp line with an Electraglide Fat Boy Gold, which seems to increase overall dynamics over the stock cord.

		Notice that as we ascend, we sharp for the semitones, and the solfege name starts with the same letter as the preceding note.
		Thinking of solfege with a movable DO allows you to always think of the tonic note, no matter what mode you are playing, as DO.
		To play in modes other than Ionian Major you must learn the names for the chromatic notes, but it makes sense for people who think of their music as relative intervals and only think about the note at the beginning of the tune when the find the tonic for the key that they are playing.

	[smt-list] RE: [smt-list] Solfège syllables as note names (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In my humble opinion: -- Fixed-do solfege as a solmization system makes perfect sense in those countries where students learn those syllables as the names of the notes, and filter all notated and heard pitch information through those names from their earliest musical experiences (what Charles is running into with some of his students).
		-- Movable-do solfege, while it incorporates the advantage of reinforcing and developing relative pitch (the pitch perception and correlation system which most musicians possess), requires the student to learn what in effect are a set of nonsense syllables to stand for the degrees of the major scale.
		As a solmization system, movable do has ONLY historical precedent (and, some would argue, excellent singability) to recommend it (and, as Charles is discovering, having to switch from fixed-do to movable-do is causing some students headaches).
