Masonic Music of the 18th Century


My culture for the evening. I just downloaded from iTunes Musiques rituelles maconniques du 18ème siècle ('Masonic ritual music from the 18th century'), conducted by Roger Cotte.

It includes:

• Le Déluge - Rituel maconnique funèbre by François Giroust
• Mozart's Masonic compositions
• Marche Maconnique and Opferjed by Ludwig van Beetheoven
• Maureelied (En l'honneur du roi Fredéric-Guillaume III du Prusse) by Freidrich-Heinrich Himmel
• Marche maconnique funèbre by Henri-Joseph-Taskin

    Thanks for this! I'm considering doing a graduate paper on Masonic music, and this just inched me a little closer to the idea.

    I bought this lp on ebay a few years ago. Giroust was a fine composer who wrote a great Mass as well. Who says Catholics can't be Freemasons!
