me
me (mi). The 3rd degree of the major scale, according to the system of vocal syllables derived from Guido d'Arezzo (see hexachord), and so used (spelt me) in tonic sol-fa, in which it is also the 5th degree of the minor scale. In many countries, however, the name has become attached (on ‘fixed-doh’ principles) to the note E, in whatever key it may occur.
