With brilliant detective work, Stuart Lyons unravels the musical character of Horaces Odes and traces a remarkable link between Horatian music, Guido dArezzo and the discovery of do-re-mi. He adds a complete set of verse translations which, like the original, are elegant, clear and deceptively simple, and put the tune back into Horaces songs.'
