Ré dièse

Meaning of Ré dièse in music

In music, **Ré dièse** is a term used in French solfège to represent the note D sharp or D sharp major. Solfège is a system of assigning syllables to musical notes to aid in sight-singing and ear training. The syllables used in the French solfège system are **Do, Ré, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si**. The addition of the term "dièse" indicates that the note is raised by a semitone or half step, making it higher in pitch. Ré dièse is equivalent to the note D sharp in other musical notations.
