Lancashire Sol-fa
Lancashire Sol-fa. System of sight-singing more properly called ‘Old English Sol-fa’, since it was universally used in Eng. from at least the early 17th cent. and its latest textbook appeared in 1879. It is a method of solmization applied to the normal staff notation; the first 3 notes of every major scale are called fa-sol-la, and so are the second 3 notes, the remaining note being called mi; the minor scale is read as if its notes were those of the relative major. In Amer. often called Fasola.
