Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ...to, Guido d'Arezzo, it would be impossible to enter at length, in the present little work; and many of the descriptions, as given by Hawkins and others, would only be confusing to the student. The chief innovation appears to have been the extension of the old tetrachordal system, introduced by Ambrose and Gregory, to that of the hexachord, or six-note series. This hexachord system is illustrated by the employment of the Ut, Re, Mi, &c, which form the commencing syllables of the lines we have already quoted (see. i. 15); the melody to which they are supposed to have been set by Guido runs as follows:--It will be observed that the tonality of this chant in no way coincides with that of our modern scale. The invention of the stave, or staff, for the purposes of notation, is popularly ascribed to Guido, though some writers affirm that a seven-lined stave was in use before his time. For several centuries the size of the stave varied considerably, some employing three, some four, some seven, some eight, others ten, and others, again, as many as eleven lines. From the last mentioned it is stated that our modern five-lined staves are derived, the fixed F and C lines being variously supplemented above and below to suit the respective requirements of the various voices:--Ex. 6. Divisions of the Great Stave of Eleven lines. Bass. Baritone. Tenor Alto. Mezzo Soprano. Violin or Soprano. G clef. In the ancient missals the C and F lines were either, painted in distinctive colours or were written as dotted or thickened lines, with a view to the more readily distinguishing them. They thus served, in a rude fashion, the purpose of the modern clefs, which, in their turn, are a development of the rudimentary forms to be seen in the staves still employed...
