ORIGIN OF THE WALTZ.
This Dance Was First Performed as
q Religious Ceremony.

OF all the millions who waltz, who
can tell how this famous dance orig.
mated? The story is a curious one. II
Is wrongly supposed that France re
ceived the waltz from Germany toward
the close of the eighteenth century.
The waltz did not emanate In It's pres,
ent form from the brain OF a dancing
master. Long before 1880, the time II
is first mentioned under this name. II
was displayed on the village greens.
The waltz was first danced i'm the
church and serves to trace the union
between ancient civilization and that
Of the middle ages.
The sacred dance OF the pagans IS
preserved 10 a certain extent in Chris.
tian rites. 1t Is transformed TO a series
of revolutions made to the sound OF the
tambourine. st. Isadore, archbishop
OF Seville. born about A. u. $50. was
intrusted by the council OF Toledo with
the revision of the liturgy as II was
then practiced In the Roman church, In
The council decided to adopt the Isa-
dorian liturgy in all Spain, and IT diff.
fered but little from that used In other
countries at that time.
This rite. celebrated before the eighth
century. when the Moors first invaded
Spain. was still celebrated by the Chris
tians I'm The seven churches Of Toledo.
which the Moors abandoned after their
capture OF the city. and II was after
that time called the Moorish rite. This
was known and employed in Provence
and Italy. The tambourine In use In this
religious dance was called by st. lisa
dore "moite de symphonic" and EVIL
IDENTITY corresponded 10 the instrument
which In the ancient sacred dances ac-
~companied the flute. a sort of bagpipe
invented two centuries before Christ.
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, having passed
through many changes before arriving
In it's present form. In the eleventh
century. when the Gregorian rite sup
planted the Moorish rite. the dance dis
appeared from the church. IL appeared
very quickly In society under the name
OF "carole," a word derived from the
Latin ~"caroler."
