Chapter II

Major Keys

II-1 Introduction to Solfeggio

The following syllables are traditionally used for the seven notes of the major scale.

do

ti

la

so

fa

mi

re

do

They originate from the Latin hymn Ut Queant Laxis , in which the first word of each successive mu-sical phrase began on the next note of the scale.

This book uses the movable do system. In this system, ‘do’ is always the tonic, and the other syllablesare assigned to the other notes according to their role in the key. In the key of D, for example:

do

ti

la

so

fa

mi

re

do

This may seem confusing at first, but it’s the only system that makes sense to the ear. For instance,‘ti’ is always a note with a tendency to move up a half-step to ‘do,’ the tonic. (There is also a fixed dosystem, in which ‘do’ is always C, ‘re’ is always D, and so on. The fixed do system is often taught toEuropean schoolchildren, who don’t know enough music theory to recognize the roles of the differentnotes in relation to the tonic in a key that has sharps or flats.)

Sight singing is first and foremost a method of training your brain to understand relationships betweenmusical notes, and is therefore an important component of musicianship even if you consider yourself primarily a composer or instrumentalist rather than a singer. For example, a jazz musician improvis-ing a solo on the saxophone needs to be able to imagine a melody, and understand the relationshipbetween the imagined pitches so as to be able to translate them into fingerings. The solfeggio syllablesare a device for making the recognition of the relationships automatic.



Broadly speaking, there are two main approaches to learning solfeggio singing. One can learn to singintervals, or to sing each note according to its role in the key. That is, we can hear each note in relationto the preceding note, or in relation to the tonic. Suppose, for example, that we’re singing a piece of music in the key of C major, and having just sung B, which is ‘ti,’ we see that the next note in themelody is C, which is ‘do.’ In the first approach, we recognize this as the interval of a half-step (minorsecond), so we move to the note a half-step above the one we’ve just sung. In the second technique,we know how to sing ‘do’ because of its special sound in relation to the key: it’s the tonic, the note

that sounds like it would be a good one to end the song on. In reality, one doesn’t use either techniqueexclusively. We might as well ask Shakespeare what he does when he reads words: ‘Mr. Shakespeare,do you use phonics, or do you recognize whole words?’ A fluent reader is actually decoding patternsat a subconscious level, and the process is extremely rapid because most of the patterns are familiar.

Because the goal is rapid recognition of patterns at a subconscious level, one should not expect tobecome a fluent sight singer by artificial devices. For instance, many people learn to recognize theinterval of a major sixth using a tune such as ‘My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean’ or the NBC jingle.This is a good thing to learn, just as it’s good to learn that an E at the end of a word makes thepreceding vowel long. But a fluent reader doesn’t look at the word ‘sure’ and think ‘silent E makesthe U long.’ Learning the phonics rules is necessary, but having learned them, we actually becomefluent readers through the act of reading large amounts of English.

There is also a pitfall to this technique of learning to hear intervals via a personalized list of familiarmelodies. The leap of a major sixth in ‘My Bonnie’ is a leap from ‘so’ up to ’mi,’ but your brain willprobably refuse to recognize the leap from ‘re’ to ‘ti’ as being the same thing, because ‘re’ and ‘ti’play different roles in the key than ‘so’ and ‘mi.’ Some people learn two melodies, one for ‘so-mi’ andone for ‘re-ti.’ Some might even do another two for the downward leaps ‘mi-so’ and ‘ti-re!’ This justshows that the technique is artificial and not usually very useful.

II-2 Melodies Containing Only Steps

In each example, start by identifying which line or space on the staff represents ‘do,’ the tonic. If you have an instrument at hand, play the tonic, and then sing enough notes from the tonic chordto bracket the range of the melody, e.g., ‘do mi so do’ for the octave spanned by the first example.If an instrument is not available, pick a note for ‘do’ that will put the melody in the most comfort-able part of your vocal range. Locate the notes of the tonic chord on the staff to use as reference points.

30 The following example is in a new key: its ‘do’ is the former ‘so.’ If you have trouble convincing yourbrain to switch keys, try singing ‘do re mi fa so’ in the old key, then repeating the last note as ‘do,’and finally singing ‘do ti do’ — with authority!

Note that the following two examples both have the tonic on the line at the center of the staff, so theone with five sharps actually isn’t any more difficult to read.

36 4343

37

The following five melodies all begin on ‘so.’

38 We now begin moving around the circle of fifths in the opposite direction. ‘Ti’ in the previous keyis flattened, and becomes ‘fa’ of the new key. If you’re singing the new, flattened version of the notecorrectly, you should be able to hear its strong tendency to resolve down to ‘mi.’

Chapter III

Minor Keys

III-1 Solfeggio in the Minor Mode

Some people sing in the minor mode using these solfeggio syllables:

do

re

me

fa

so

le

te

do

do

ti

la

so

fa

me

re

do

This system has the advantage that most of the notes have the same functions as in the major mode.‘Do’ is still the tonic, ‘so’ the dominant, ‘ti’ the leading tone, and so on. In this system, the names of the notes stay the same when switching between the parallel major and minor.

Others prefer this:

la

ti

do

re

mi

fa

so

la

la

si

fi

me

re

do

ti

la

This system highlights the relationship between the minor and its relative major.

If you don’t have a teacher who wants you to use one system or another, I suggest you use the firstone, because it lets you recycle many of the patterns you’ve learned in minor. For instance, ‘so-ti-do’is still a formula for a cadence.

In both systems, the vowel ‘i’ is used for a sharpened note, and ‘e’ for a flattened one. The chromaticscale looks like this:



do

ti

li

la

si

so

fi

fa

mi

ri

re

di

do

so

le

la

te

ti

do

do

ra

re

me

mi

fa

se

The important thing is to pick a system and learn it thoroughly. (I use my own enharmonic systemin which the chromatic scale is ‘do gu ri bu mi fa ka so ja la pa ti do.’)

More commonly, the melody leaps into or out of ‘la’ without spelling out the subdominant chordexplicitly. Although dominant harmony can often be implied strongly with only one or two notes, thisis not usually true of the subdominant, because of its weaker character. Since thirds are the mostcommon leaps, the most important new leaps to learn to sing are the ones between ‘do’ and ‘la’ andbetween ‘fa’ and ‘la.’ This melody leaps from ‘do’ to ‘la:’

A great deal of Scottish folk music uses a major scale that omits ‘ti.’ ‘Fa’ is sometimes left out aswell, forming a five-note, or pentatonic, scale. Once one’s ear adjusts to the sound of the scale, the

characteristic leap between ‘do’ and ‘la’ no longer sounds like a leap at all. Of the following twoexamples, the first is pentatonic, while the second uses the full major scale. The first example hasbeen notated with the style’s typical elaborate ornamentation, which you may wish to ignore.

IV-5 Leaps of a Seventh

With leaps of a seventh, as with any very broad leap, the most common problem is simply theinability to reach the note. Make sure to sing each example in an appropriate key. If the leap of aseventh is upward, find the lowest key in which you can comfortably sing the lowest note of the melody.

A factor in the sight-singer’s favor is that the most difficult leaps to sing are usually the ones thatare ugly as well, and therefore composers don’t write them; in real music, most leaps of a seventhoccur in certain special contexts that make them both easier to sing and more acceptable to the ear.Although it is possible to memorize the sounds of the minor and major seventh leaps and sing themon demand, that’s a fundamentally unnatural way to think about melody; keep in mind that most of the examples in this section are folk songs created by people who were illiterate, and probably couldnot have performed such a trick themselves.

Another technique for use when all else fails is to imagine the seventh as a downward step, with thesecond note moved up an octave. In all the following examples, however, we’ll see that there are better

solutions arising naturally from the logic of the melodic line.

The first example is easy, because the leap begins a repetition.

295 * 4343

The next two examples are not much harder; there is repetition, but at a pitch one step higher.

IV-6 Other Perfect Fourths and Fifths

We’ve already sung leaps of a fourth and a fifth within the tonic, dominant, and subdominant chords,and those leaps strongly implied their chords. For instance, it’s difficult to hear the ‘so-re’ leap withoutperceiving a dominant chord. Although other leaps of a fourth or a fifth may imply other triads, inreal music they are more commonly produced not by the harmony but by the logic of the melodyitself. In the first example, the composer simply wants to repeat a molodic idea at a different pitch.

The ‘la’ is easily sung by thinking of it in relation to the ‘do’ it leads up to.

In this example, the leap from ‘la’ to ‘re’ is heard as an imitation of the preceding ‘so-do’ leap.

31342

42

*

Here, we really have the easy ‘so-mi’ leap, but with ‘la’ interposed.

Chapter VI

The C Clef

This chapter recapitulates some melodies from earlier chapters, using the C clef. The clef indicatesmiddle C. In modern music, the C clef is used almost exclusively for the viola, but it will also beencountered in older scores, both vocal and instrumental, as an equally important companion to thetreble and bass clefs. The C clef is a movable clef, but the examples in this chapter are all given withC placed at the middle line. Sight-singing from the C clef is not difficult, because one merely followsthe usual procedure of determining which line or space on the staff represents ‘do,’ and reading allother notes relative to it. A trick for instrumentalists is to imagine that the middle line is really theledger line for middle C on the grand staff, while the top two lines belong to the treble clef, and thebottom two to the bass clef. (The same trick can be handy for vocalists when using the key signatureto find the tonic on the staff.)
