Solfege?
Anyone else annoyed by "solfege"? That is, apparently, "solfège." Accent grave over the "e."
In music, solfège... or solfeggio... also called sol-fa, solfa, solfeo, among many names, is a music education method used to teach aural skills, pitch and sight-reading of Western music. Solfège is a form of solmization, though the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably.
Syllables are assigned to the notes of the scale and enable the musician to audiate, or mentally hear, the pitches of a piece of music being seen for the first time and then to sing them aloud. Through the Renaissance (and much later in some shapenote publications) various interlocking 4, 5 and 6-note systems were employed to cover the octave.
If you don't know why this is annoying me today, I have to begin with a spoiler alert:
Ridiculously hard segment of today's NYT crossword:I love the Saturday puzzle, but normally when it comes together, you do know the words. "Solfège" was utterly alien to me, and I had SO-FE-E and the across words in those 2 blanks were also unknown to me. Wiley Post? I can write a wily post but I'd never heard of Wiley Post. The "g" was the last letter I got in "logic gate," which I was just guessing. I don't know about logic gates. The clue was "Circuit building block," and I just had to figure maybe, in circuitry, there's something called a "logic gate."
I was shocked when the "L" and the "G" triggered the "CONGRATULATIONS" pop up. Really? Solfege is a word?
Anyway:Wiley Hardeman Post (November 22, 1898 – August 15, 1935) was a famed American aviator during the interwar period and the first pilot to fly solo around the world. Also known for his work in high-altitude flying, Post helped develop one of the first pressure suits and discovered the jet stream. On August 15, 1935, Post and American humorist Will Rogers were killed when Post's aircraft crashed on takeoff from a lagoon near Point Barrow in the Territory of Alaska.
Finally, "Accent grave over the 'e'" is a movie reference, you know.
