GUEST,Big Steak | Aussie Childrens' School Song origin? (30) | RE: Aussie Childrens' School Song origin? | 02 Oct 09 |
That song "Have you ever heard of the 7 steps?" is reputed to have a religious origin. It was supposed to have ancient meso-american roots. The Spanish conqiustadors noted the tune as a joyous chant that acolytes sang as they approached one of their pyramids at harvest festival - I cant remember which one. The devotees were supposed to dance in seven mystical ways. I have seen a pictograph of steps 1 and 2 but not the rest. Funny how the tune is now a kids song. |
