I bought this book because it kept popping up as a source when I was studying Mozart's "The Magic Flute" and Masonry for a book report in college. What a fantastic resource I found! My friends doing the same topic were a little jealous that I had it. I was only going to use it as a resource and ended up reading the book cover-to-cover. Love it!

Wonderful overview of Mozart's relationship to the fraternity and a detailed account of the numerous pieces he wrote specifically for Lodge events or ritual, as well as the many pieces adapted by others for Lodge use. There is a very good explanation of "The Magic Flute," as well.
