That method of a capella pedagogy is called tonic sol-fa, a form of solfege invented in the early 1800's by one Sarah Ann Glover and later developed byJohn Curwen, Zoltan Kodaly and others over the years.

This score of Handel's Messiah is a fascinating glimpse into an inventive notation system that proved useful and popular for many years. The score contains a discussion of performance issues and an explanation ofthetonic sol-fa system.
