Subject: RE: Freemasons 'n' Music
And a site to buy Masonic regalia. Clever stuff! I also listened to the programme with interest and it's fascinating to discover how many great composers were involved with Freemasonry. Some of it's most famous were, Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, Souza, Hadyn, the list goes on. It seems that because composers needed sponsors, the Masonic lodges provided a great opportunity for latter-day networking, and without that network many of todays' household names may have been in the poor house.
