The Origins of Music - The Story of Guido - Music History Crash Course

Today, we continue our look at the origins of music with the story of Guido d'Arezzo - one of the greatest music educators of his time.

A big thanks to Guido for putting this together. Guido, if you’re reading this, the Bell Tower of Pomposa Abbey still stands.

Our music teacher sent us here because of the corona virus. You're going to get a lot of views :)

Edit: AND SCHOOL BE OVER

One observation: the use of "ti" is exclusive to anglophone countries. The original syllable used everywhere is "si".

[rachelpanay]

Thanks so much! I am happy to have a video that explains how solfege came to be to my piano students & those I give vocal coaching to.

[quackfn]

My music teacher sent me, glad she did!

[RepseJ]

Thanks for this. It'l help giving a fine beginning for the student learning music-notes. It's important though to go further back in time to find notes written long before Guido. Just to give an impression of the importans of music for humans during all time...

[fiona]

Love your video. Stopped by to learn about Guido for class. Thank you so much!

Just cos my music teacher told us about guido d arrezzo, hv been so interested in him, that I had to come looking here for more information about guido de arrezo❤

[Andrea-xwxe]

Great video! What was the name of their music notation before it was placed on a satff? Did Guido de Arezzo's new music staff system have a name?

I had to learn Guidos song for an exam. That was intersting.

1:23 I'm confused on why he uses Classical pronunciation for "gestorum" but uses ecclesiastical pronunciation for "solve"

[Dbwow]

By the way.. Krishna used to play flute in 3200 BCE (in dwaparyuga).. Also Ravan was a master "Veena player" in (treta yuga)... Vedic Indians are master in music playing and we Indians used music as a tool of salvation, bliss and happiness.. world must know this and hence it is been shared to the best of my knowledge...!

[SoftWaytoMozart]

Guidonian hand is the way to mess up all the initial invention of Guido's initial intend: notes placed ON and BETWEEN the lines. He used fingers as the lines of the Grand Staff. The rest of the story is good.

[itsgoubie]

Ha! I did not know the origin of the notes names.

[seanbierman]

Thanks for the great video! God bless you!
