You turned my wail into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy. (Psalms 30:11) 祢已將我的哀哭變為跳舞, 將我的麻衣脫去,給我披上喜樂。(詩篇30:11) |

Lord
Of The Dance 是一首歴史悠久的愛爾蘭民謠,除了被採用為踢踏舞表演的音樂元素之外,在基督教會中,是流傳已久的詩歌。
此曲在1774年時被帶入美國,詩人Sydney Carter (1915-2004)於1963年將歌詞重新編寫,成為敬拜詩歌,內容富含福音的精隨。
有別於傳統詩歌的莊嚴肅穆,它的曲調輕快、動聽,融入舞蹈後,成了一種敬拜讚美的表達方式,特別受到孩童和青少年的喜愛。

在台灣,我們所跳的土風舞大多來自美國。自從1940年紐約世界博覽會開啟了跳土風舞的熱潮後,美國的土風舞社團也開始盛行,他們有的自創舞步,有的則是收集、研究各國傳統的舞法律動,並結合當地鄉土民謠,編輯成老少咸宜的團體舞,這些舞曲在第二次世界大戰時,隨著美軍的腳步流傳到世界各地,也來到了台灣,如本部落格曾經介紹過的: 美國民謠---“ You are my
sunshine你是我的陽光”(請按此連結)、 加拿大民謠--- ”紅河谷 Red River
Valley”(請按此連結)、以色列民謠---”水舞Mayim-Mayim”(請按此連結)…等都是著名的土風舞音樂。
以下再介紹一首在台灣也很遍及的土風舞曲,旋律我們耳熟能詳,卻鮮少人知道歌名,它的歌詞全是音階唱名 "Do, Re, Mi,
Fa,S ol, La, Ti" 所組成,所以歌名就叫” Solfeggio” (音階唱名solfège,法語發音:[sɔl.fɛʒ])。
