Nicholas J Roberts: >Can anyone enlighten me as to the music deemed 'masonic' by Mozart, >Sibelius and Haydn? I'm currently writing a paper on the subject. OK, but only if you know the secret handshake. Oh, all right...My quick research reveals a little information (that is, I had to look most of it up.) [& please excuse my very poor German. (Someday we'll be able to do this with proper accents!! Imagine!)]: Sibelius: Musique religieuse, Op. 113 Mozart: Thamos, Koenig in Aegypten (incidental music to Baron von Gebler's masonic play), K.345/336a Maurerisch Trauermusik [Masonic Funeral Music], K.477/479a Dir, Seele des Weltalls (cantata), K.429/468a [possibly masonic] Die ihr des unsermesslichen Weltalls Schopfer ehrt (cantata), K.619 Laut verkunde unsre Freude (cantata), K.623 & Die Zauberflote (of course), the most masonic of all. Many other suspected masonic pieces, or pieces used in this manner. Haydn: Was a mason, but no confirmed masonic music per se, but much has (apparently) been adopted by practitioners of The Craft. Grove's has a good article where I got most of this; look up "Masonic Music". Hope this helps, Bob K.
