Etymology
The term 'la' comes from the solfรจge syllables that were developed in the 11th century by the Italian monk Guido d'Arezzo. He created a system to teach sight-singing, using the initial syllables of a hymn to Saint John the Baptist, with 'la' corresponding to the sixth note of the scale, derived from the Latin phrase 'Ut queant laxis'. The use of 'la' became standardized in musical education and remains a core part of music theory today, especially in Western music traditions. Over the centuries, the function and recognition of 'la' in musical notation and pedagogy evolved, solidifying its role in vocal exercises and compositions.
