About Solresol
Solresol is probably the first musical language that has been publicly documented, and these pages are intented to help preserving this historically important language.
François Sudre inspired several other creations of musical languages, and the idea has even made its way into contemporary pop culture: A musical language, albeit a fictional one unrelated to Solresol, has for example been depicted in the episode "The Void" from the sci-fi TV series "Star Trek: Voyager" (season 7, episode 14) in 2001.
