Gregorio Allegri
b. 1582; Italy
d. 2-7-1652

Composer Gregorio Allegri's a cappella religious music Miserere is one of the most often-recorded examples of late Renaissance music, however from the time of its composure the Vatican forbade copies of the Miserere in order to create an air of mystery around the music. Then, in 1770, a 14 year old Mozart was able to transcribed it faithfully from memory after hearing the music only twice (the first “bootleg” copy?).

Do Re Mi: If You Can Read Music, Thank Guido D'Arezzo

Guido D'Arezzo
b. c. 991; Italy
d. after 1033

Guido D'Arezzo, regarded as the inventor of modern musical staff notation, was a Benedictine monk. Guido was also developed a “do-re-mi” scale, based on the initial syllables of each of the first six musical phrases of the hymn Ut queant laxis.

If you can read musical notes, you can sing any song or play any piece. But musical notes have not always been here. Long ago, songs were memorized. If songs were forgotten, they were lost forever.
Thanks to one man, Guido d’Arezzo, music now can last forever. (book description)

He is regarded as the inventor of modern musical notation (staff notation) that replaced neumatic notation; his text, the Micrologus, was the second-most-widely distributed treatise on music in the Middle Ages .
