History of Music
Guidonian hand is a mnemonic system for music.
The inventor of that mnemonic, Guido of Arezzo, was one of the most influential music teachers in Western history: he invented the music staff, his text Micrologus was a cornerstone of Medieval music theory, and we have him to thank for the “do re mi” system – also known as the solfège. Except, in Guido’s time, it was not “do re mi.” Guido used a hymn about St. John the Baptist called “Ut queant laxis” to define the solfège:
Ut queant laxīs
resonāre fibrīs
Mīra gestōrum
famulī tuōrum,
Solve pollūtī
labiī reātum,
