Mozart's Musical Contribution to Freemasonry

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This tribute to one of Freemasonry's best known members is one of the finest collections of Mozart music available. Not only does it celebrate his musical genius, it sheds new light into the world's most well known and benevolent fraternity: the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons (A.F.& A.M.). Joining the likes of George Washington, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Winston Churchill, and Teddy Roosevelt, composers such as Mozart were often attracted to the fellowship found among the Masonic Fraternity. This collection of some of his finest works should be part of everyone's collection. I'd love to hear this group record a collection of works by Mendelssohn, Liszt, Gershwin, Haydn, or Sousa--themselves great Freemasons! Highly recommended!!"
