what exactly did you learn in your music degree?

[Jaybot]

A better question is what didn't I learn in my music degree <br><br>Music history from ancient greece through the 20th century, 16-20th C. music theory and composition, acoustics, music literature throughout the ages, form and analysis, baroque and contemporary counterpoint, performing ensembles in chamber groups and large ensemles, and private instruction on several instruments; just to name a few things <br><br>Dan, you bet

In fact, I was just having this conversation with randall about the origin of solmization, or solfege, syllables.<br><br>Believe it or not, do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, and do, did not originat from the Sound of Music.<br><br>It actually derived from a latin hymn, dating aronud 800 AD (or CE for you politically correct peeps).  The syllables were actually, ut, re, mi, fa, sol, and la.  The 11th C monk, Guido of Arezzo (who was quite the music theorist for his time) added music to these stressed syllables to help singers remember that patterns of whole tones and semi tones (this is pre-17th century, before there was any major or minoy 'keys' and before the renaissance modes, for all you 'musically knowledged' peeps ) in the six steps that existed in the church modes of the time.<br><br>for you latin folks, here is the original hymn, Ut queant laxis:<br>'Ut' queant laxis 'Re'-sonare fibris 'Mi'-ra gestorum 'fa'-muli tuorum, 'Sol'-ve poluti 'La'-bii reatum, Sancte Joannes.'<br><br>roughly translates to, "That thy servants may freely sing forth the wonders of thy deeds, remove all stain of guilt from their unclean lips, O Saint John."<br><br>this system was great because it was a movable 6 note pattern that kept the same semi-tone between mi and fa.  This eventually led to the middle ages hexachord system, and an adequate musical notation system where the clef signs for f, c, and g, were invented, which are still used today.<br><br>yo.<br><br><br>
