The Art OF Music.

In the Tenth century both lines were
first used together and the notes began
to be designated by letters OF the alpha
bet as they are now. This was the
oriSfn OF our present staff Of FIVE lines
and four spaces. In the latter part OF
the same century Guido Of Arezzo added
more lines 10 the staf, and resorted to
the use of the spaces. IL was Guido who
originated solmigation by means Of the
syllables ut, re. mi. IA sol, la. The syla-
bic ut was replaced by that Of do at y
later date.
Step by step music advanced. and the
system OF notation. while becoming more
complex. became more ineligible. sym
bols for notes Of various lengths were IN
vented. and finally counterpoint developed
to what il is at the present day.
But this was the only development Of
the elements of music, and not OF the
art itself Then with the death Of the
last Roman emperor came the renais-
sance. which so keenly affected both the
arts and sciences Then came Lutheras
Reformation. and with it the Introduction,
or rather adoption, OF secular melodies
into religious services and congregational
The Council OF Trent bitterly opposed
the innovation, and the prelates Of the
church appointed Giovanni Pierlugi Sante,
Palestrina to devise an appropriate form
for ecclesiastical music. Giovanni, who
afterwards became known Dy the name
of his birthplace Palestrlna. will always
stand as the pillar Of ecclesiastical music
as IL now is.
The nrst Lutheran ymn-book was
published in 1874 and the first Palestrina
mass sung In 400.
But usic had now found a firm place
In the hearts OF the people. Poems were
set 10 music, and in 1850 the FIRST oratorio
was sung, while twenty-seven years later
Schultz introduced the first opera into
Germany, and after a lapse Of ten years
the first opera-house known to tl,e civ
lllzed world was opened in enice with a
performance of anellps "Andromeda."
Music was now making rapid advances.
but Il was not until 1875 that two Of the
worlds great composers were born-John
Sebastian Bach and Handel.
