 Re: Naming the Notes on the Staff

The odd thing is that the chant itself (Ut queant laxis...), if the modern rendition of it is faithful to the ancient melody, is to my ear Dorian, with a resting pitch of D, not Aeolian (with a "final" of A) or Ionic (with a final" of C) although in the modern version I've found it starts on C, the seventh. So the use of the first syllable of each phrase actually seems to defeat any correspondence of the series ut, re, mi, etc. to the actual mode of the melody.

Interesting if hopelessly esoteric.
