Neumes arose first as the product of necessity, you have an obscene moment of clarity and remember directly from your textbook, "In the earliest notations, signs called neumes were placed above the words to indicate the melodic gesture for each syllable"(p.35). As soon as you have this realization you reach the Gumdrop Mountains. as you began to climb a new song begins. This one sounds a little bit familiar, almost like a song you used to listen to in childhood. You quickly braced yourself against a rock and attempted to scrawl the neumes quickly, while balancing.
"This looks a lot better!" you proclaim as the song finishes and you continue your climb. You now feel a heightened sense of accomplishment, and as you reach the peak of the mountain you feel as though you might be able to save Candyland yet.
you were drastically underestimating the job you had ahead of you...
