ORIGIN OF THE WALTZ.
Il Supposed to Ne q Relic of Heather
Worship

Like everything else that touches
humanity, the waltz did not emanate
In its present form from the brain Of
a dancing master. Long before 1880,
the time we find It first mentioned
under this name, its graceful curves
village greens, as well as in the grand
salons of the palaces; it had its alter
natives of vogue and neglect. its sup
porters and detractors. The waltz. like
many ether secular things, we find
first In the church. where. in spite OF
barbaric disorder. 1t serves to trace the
union between ancient civilization and
that of the middle ages. The sacred
! dance OF the pagans is preserved to
certain extent in Christian rites; 1t Is
transformed to a series of revolutions
made to the sound of the tamborine.
st. Isadore, archbishop OF Seville. born
about A. d. $50, was intrusted by the
council OF Toledo with the revision OF
the liturgy, as 1t was then practiced
In the Roman Catholic church. In
which there was a tamborine dance.
The council decided to adopt the lsa-
dorian liturgy in all Spain, and 1t DIFF
fered but little from that used in other
countries at that time. This rite. eel
ebrated before the eighth century,
when the Moors first invaded Spain,
was still celebrated by the Christians
in the seven churches OF Toledo, which
the Moors abandoned after their cap
ture of the city, and was, after that
time, called the Moorish rite. This
was known and employed In Provence
and Italy. The tamborine in use In
this religious dance was called by 81.
Isadore "moite de symphonic" and
evidently correspondent to the instru-
ment which, in the ancient sacred
dances, accompanied the flute. a sort
of bagpipe invented two centuries be-
fore Christ. And thus, as the religious
dance OF the middle ages is allied to the
ancient sacred dance. so the waltz Is an
evolution OF this religious dance. hav-
ing passed through many changes be;
fore arriving at Its present form. In
the eleventh century, when the Gre
gorian rite supplanted the Moorish rite,
the dance disappeared from the church
1t appeared very quickly In society un-
der the name carole, word derived
from the Latin "caroler," afterward
under that OF base dance. in which the
grand relates, kings and dignitarles ala
not dlsdain to join. composed oil three
parts, two very slow and one very
lively. The people-and at this time
all who were not of the clergy or roy
atty were the people-used the latter
part-called the tourdian. which, light
or and more lively, appealed to them
and. little by little. 1t became changed.
In Italy 1t was first separated from the
rest under the name OF romancesca'
and from there 1t passed into Provence
and southern Germany. In Germany
II was developed into the gaillard and
vote, while the Germans, more dreamy
and slow, changed the romaneasca IN
to the allemand and waltz. The vote
succumbed, while young. to oblivion. In
the sixteenth century. by the very rea-
son of its excess, but the German lived
long. and produced the waltz whie.
