Either that or Father Guido Sarducci from the original Rowan & Martin
Laugh-In show in the '60s!!!
But yes, Guido d'Arezzo, inventor (or more properly compiler and
developer) of the most powerful music education tools of the
double-millenium.

Twice in recent weeks one of the clues in The National Post
(Canada) crossword puzzle has been --" Guido's highest note". In
my ignorance I assumed that he was an opera singer that I'd never
heard of. I'm sure that John Howell and some others must know the
answer! thanks, Margaret Whitby
Of course! Ela, or e'' or E5 depending on your system. Fourth space
in treble clef. He considered it the highest note used in boys (not
men's) voices. His system used a very specific pitch set, and did
NOT assume that scales continued up or down to infinity.
