- "In about 1030 AD, Guido d'Arezzo, a Benedictine choirmaster, invented do-re-mi. Originally, it was ut-re-mi, the first syllables of the opening six half-lines of Paul the Deacon's late eighth century Hymn to St. John the Baptist. But Paul only wrote the words, not the music. Guido found the musical setting in an ode by the Roman poet and songwriter Horace (65 - 8 BC)."--Container.
