五线谱最早的发源地是希腊,它的历史要比数字形的简谱早得多。在古希腊,音乐的主要表现形式是声乐,歌词发音的高低长短是用A、B、C等字母表示的。到了罗马时代,开始用另一种符号来表示音的高低,这种记谱法称为“纽姆记谱法”(Neuma),这就是五线谱的雏形。“Neuma”源自希腊语,意为符号,是用绘图的形式表示的初期纽姆形状(图一)。 The earliest birthplace of the stave was Greece, which had a much older history than the simple form of the figure. In ancient Greece, the main form of music is vocal music, the length of the pronunciation of the lyrics is A, B, C and other letters. In the Roman era, another symbol began to be used to express the level of sound. This notation is called Neuma, which is the prototype of the stave. “Neuma ” is derived from the Greek, meaning symbol, is the initial shape of the shape of the original Nuomu represented in the form of a drawing (Figure 1).
