Music to your ears (Posted on 2010-11-28)

I quote an ancient Latin hymn for St. John the Baptist's Day:

* queant laxis
*sonare fibris
*ra gestorum
*muli tuorum,
*ve polluti
*bii reatum, Sancte Joannes.

What syllables are missing?
What special meaning do they have?
Why was St.J. more suitable than some other saint?
