[Smt-talk] Movable-Do subculture in the Romance tradition?

[Nicolas Meeùs]

The solmisation syllables have long been used, in the French tradition, 
as ...solmisation syllables. The conversion to fixed-do solfège, in 
France, was not performed before the middle or the second half of the 
18th century. Movable-do remained in (diminishing) usage at least until 
the creation of the Paris Conservatoire around 1798.

Several French-speaking pedagogies today make use of the Kodály method 
(including movable-do), especially for young children. See for instance 
http://www.kodaly.fr/.
