l Do Re Mi: If You Can Read Music, Thank Guido D'Arezzo—
Susan Roth. "A thousand years ago, if you heard a song and wanted
to hear it again, you would have to remember it by heart. If you forgot
the song, it could be lost forever." Italy's Guido d'Arezzo changed
all that with a system of musical notation that allowed people to
read music much as they read words in a book. Portrayed as a
misunderstood, driven, and ingenious hero with the sympathetic ear
of just one lone monk, this is the story of Guido and his invention:
modern-day solfege. When Guido finally proves that his invention
works, his triumph resounds through the ages. His story is certain to
capture the imagination of any budding musician.
