Thanks for replying! At least I'm not the only person at sea over these
things. I can't see the point of the second group of syllables at all!

No-one seems to have responded - and I have no idea. I did study Renaissance
music theory for a while, but much of it remains a mystery. I got the feeling
they did not always follow the same rules - but that sounds like: ''If I can't
understand it, they are doing something wrong'', which is of course nonsense.
Sorry I can't help.

Does anyone understand how to interpret the solmisation syllables in
Mudarra's Fantasia sobre fa mi fa re ut sol fa sol mi re in Book 2, fol. 27.
"Fa mi fa re ut " seems to relate to the theme which appears at two different
pitches a fifth apart. But what do the remaining syllable refer to?
Do they refer to the fact that the theme occurs at diffferent pitches or to
something else?
Yours perplexed
Monica
