Packet 7: Bonus 16

Add a drop of golden sun to this packet and answer the following about solfège in the Guidonian hexachord, for 10 points each.
[10m] Solfège helped singers find semitones in a scale, because they are always between these two solfège syllables in a hexachord. The diabolus in musica was sometimes defined as one of these syllables “contra” the other.
ANSWER: mi AND fa
[10e] In medieval solfège, the first note in the hexachord or scale is denoted with the syllable “ut.” But since the 17th century, most Western solfège systems use this syllable instead.
ANSWER: do
[10h] In his Missa Hercules dux Ferrariae, Josquin Des Prez (“joe-SCAN deh PRAY”) pioneered this technique in which he took his patron’s name, Hercules, stripped it into the vowels “e, u, e” and set those to solfège syllables with the same vowels, “re, ut, re.”
ANSWER: soggetto cavato (“so-JET-oh ka-VAH-toh”)
