Book Description
Excerpt from The Masonic Orpheus: A Collection of Songs, Hymns, Chants, and Familiar Tunes, Especially Designed to Accompany the Work of Free and Accepted Masons, in All the Various Degrees and Orders Appertaining to the Blue Lodge, Chapter, Council, and Commandery Music, like the other Arts, is progressive. In this regard, upon looking over the various collections Of Masonic music in use, the standard is neither so high as the progress of the Art demands, nor is the arrangement adapted especially for male voices, as it should be. The Psalmody and familiar airs mainly in use were composed and arranged for mixed voices, and so are ineffective and unsuited to choirs necessarily composed of male voices It was while attempting to remedy these defects in style and arrangement, by consulting the works of the best composers, and re arranging and adapting them for his own use in the various Degrees and Orders, and his efforts being so favorably received by his Masonic Brethren, that the author was persuaded to enlarge his original design, and prepare a Manual for general use; the present volume, which he hopes will meet the approval of the Fraternity, being the result. It is not too much to assert that there is scarcely a Lodge, Chapter, Council, or Commandery which does not possess within itself the material, which, by proper cultivation, would be enabled to render such music as the occasion requires in an acceptable manner; and the impressiveness and solemnity of appropriate music, combined with the work of the various degrees, is unquestionable. The majority of pieces contained in these pages the author has endeavored to bring within the ordinary range of male voices, and to that end, has resorted to transpositions in all cases, when deemed necessary. Also, in order to meet all tastes and capacities, a considerable portion Of the work has been allotted to familiar tunes.

Book Description
An exploration of Mozart’s strong ties to Freemasonry and how its principles profoundly shaped his musical work • Reveals how Mozart structured his music on Masonic ritual and ceremony to provide a musical lexicon of Masonic symbols • Shows that Freemasonry plays the same role in Mozart’s work as Lutheran Christianity plays in that of Bach Thanks to recently discovered documents, we now have a fuller picture of the esoteric influences on the life and work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Musicologist Jacques Henry shows that the Masonic influence on Mozart goes beyond those pieces, such as The Magic Flute, that fulfilled a ritual purpose for the composer. His works actually provide a complete musical lexicon of Masonic symbols inspired by the principles of the craft and the spirit of the Masonic quest. Mozart constructed his Masonic compositions by creating auditory correspondences to the symbols present in the rituals, choosing keys and tempos that transpose their content into harmony. His understanding of the use of symbol allowed him to create music that would lead the listener into a harmony that transcended earthly existence. A number of musicologists believe that the place of the Masonic spiritual vision in Mozart’s work is comparable to that held by Lutheran Christianity in the work of Johann Sebastian Bach. Mozart wed his deep understanding of music to the esoteric wisdom he gained as a Freemason. He shows that when we lose ourselves in the expression of pure harmony, it is the same as the symbol being lost in what it symbolizes. Jacques Henry provides a rigorous and original analysis of Mozart’s works that reveals their inner meaning as shaped by the composer’s profound embrace of the spiritual principles of Freemasonry.
