Professor Nicholas Baragwanath, author of the groundbreaking "Solfeggio Tradition" (published by Oxford University Press), returns to the show to talk about Hexachordal Italian Solfeggio. This was the method of solfege instruction that was employed at the famed 18th-century Neapolitan Conservatories, using 6-note overlapping hexachords, instead of the usual 7-note systems we use today. Professor Baragwanath answers popular questions and demonstrates solfeggio in numerous settings, from beginner lessons to more advanced examples.

Today we have a special episode dedicated to Solfeggio, featuring Professors Nicholas Baragwanath, Job IJzerman, Robert O. Gjerdingen, and Peter van Tour. The famed students of the 18th-century Neapolitan conservatories undertook an extensive 3-year course of hexachordal solmisation using guidonian syllables before they were allowed to touch an instrument. This excellent training preceded partimento and written counterpoint studies. We discuss all aspects of this pedagogy, whether it is worth learning today, its benefits, and answer numerous audience questions.

Operina is a new opera podcast for kids, created and hosted by soprano Jessica Cambio. Each episode features children from around the world participating (in their own language) in a musical, historical, cultural, and linguistic educational adventure... with their parents' permission, of course.Opera, classical music, and linguistic studies are often neglected and/or not introduced to children at all, especially at the elementary school level. It has been scientifically proven that exposure to classical music, art, dance, culture, foreign languages, and even global travel at an early age encourages healthy brain stimulation and growth, a more peaceful upbringing, a stronger sense of community, and therefore, a better world. The Operina mission is to provide a fun, free, kid-friendly all-encompassing learning experience to enhance their musical and cultural education, expand their horizons, encourage them to think outside the box of their daily lives... all the while limiting their screen time. ;)Operina encourages kids to learn, grow, explore, and experience opera and classical music firsthand. The episodes, narrated by various musical guests worldwide, can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home. Operina also encourages your children to make new friends, share information and opinions, learn new words in foreign languages, use their imagination and creativity, create a community, listen to the sounds of the human voice and orchestral instruments, design costumes and sets, dance, sing, and explore the stage, acting, and all the spectacle of opera from the inside.Operina features guests from all corners of the globe, stories extracted from operas that have survived hundreds of years, quizzes, foreign words integrated in the language of the opera being presented, and so much more. Join us on this new adventure!In this episode, instead of discussing an opera, I will read Julie Andrews' and Emma Walton Hamilton's The First Notes: The Story of DO, RE, MI. Please listen to Julie's Library for more educational children's books written by Ms. Andrews and her daughter. You won't regret it! The episode also includes musical selections from the film The Sound of Music in which Ms. Andrews stars. Enjoy!!If your child would like to be featured as a guest on future episodes, please send your submissions (in any language) to: operinapodcast@gmail.com.DISCLAIMER: Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

It can help in manifesting our deepest desires, experience growth and transformation and even repair our DNA. 528 Hz is one of the 6 ancient Solfeggio frequencies based on the Solfege scale written by 11th century monk Guido D'Arezzo as part of a Gregorian chant .

Link to the musicA hymn to St. John the Baptist, written by Paul the Deacon in the 8th century. You may never have heard of this hymn, unless you've studied music history or theory, as it's not particularly well-known or popular, but it is actually extraordinarily influential. In this episode, you'll learn about the origin of SOLFEGE, which of course culminated in 1956, when Rogers and Hammerstein composed the most important piece of music ever written; Do, a Deer. Enjoy!Link to full lyrics (all 13 verses)For thy spirit, holy John, to chastenLips sin-polluted, fettered tongues to loosen;So by thy children might thy deeds of wonderMeetly be chanted.Lo! a swift herald, from the skies descending,Bears to thy father promise of thy greatness;How he shall name thee, what thy future story,Duly revealing.Scarcely believing message so transcendent,Him for a season power of speech forsaketh, Till, at thy wondrous birth, again returnethVoice to the voiceless.The heavenly citizens celebrate you with lauds, one God and at once triune; we also come imploring forgiveness; spare us among the redeemed.Thou, in thy mother's womb all darkly cradled, Knewest thy Monarch, biding in His chamber, Whence the two parents, through their children's merits, Mysteries uttered.Praise to the Father, to the Son begotten,And to the Spirit, equal power. possessing,One God whose glory, through the lapse of ages,Ever resoundeth. Amen.Ut queant laxis resonare fibris mira gestorum famuli tuorum, solve polluti labiis reatum, sancte Joannes.Nuntius celso veniens Olympo, te patri magnum fore nasciturum, nomen, et vitae seriem gerendae, ordine promit.Ille promissi dubius superniper didit promptae modulos loquelae; sed reformasti genitus peremptae organa vocis.Laudibus cives celebrant supernite, Deus simplex pariterque trine; supplices ac nos veniam precamur: parce redemptis.Ventris obstruso recubans cubili, senseras Regem thalamo manentem: hinc parens, nati, meritis, uterque, abdita pandit.Sit decus Patri, genitaeque proliet tibi, compare utriusque virtus, Spiritus semper, Deus unus, omni Temporis aevo. Amen.
