This ebay listing is for the sale of a CD ROM title: Masonic Music Manual, 1897.
Masonic Lodges used to almost always have an organist and great music to accompany any and all of the rituals in the lodge. As lodges and membership have aged out Masonic Lodges, many of the organists and their pages of Music have been lost or "misplaced". Thus, today, even if younger members wanted to reconstitute the nice music that filled Masonic Lodge rooms, it is hard for find a selection of music and know what Music traditionally went with that part of the meeting or ritual.
Here, you find a Manual that gives a complete set of Music for all the common parts of a meeting and most of the components of various rituals used in the lodge.

Masonic Lodges used to almost always have an organist and great music to accompany any and all of the rituals in the lodge. As lodges and membership have aged out Masonic Lodges, many of the organists and their pages of Music have been lost or "misplaced". Thus, today, even if younger members wanted to reconstitute the nice music that filled Masonic Lodge rooms, it is hard for find a selection of music and know what Music traditionally went with that part of the meeting or ritual.
Here, you find a Manual that gives a complete set of Music for all the common parts of a meeting and most of the components of various rituals used in the lodge. If you are a Mason or curious as to the nature of what songs and music were traditionally used, this is a great Manual for you. IF you are a Lodge Master or Warden in a lodge, and want to "restore traditions" and make the meetings more interesting, this is a great way to do it.
Get this into the hands of one of the younger musicians and he may just show up with great synthesized organ music on his laptop that he can feed into the lodge sound system.
Perhaps you can find a new organist or keyboard or other musician once you have this music in hand. The lyrics are interesting and reflect the nature of Masonry, the music itself reflects the 1800's emphasis on great organ interpretations of classical music forms.
Worth having a copy of, even if all you are going to do is sing in the shower and baritone your way to work in the car.
Nice for historical context and tradition.
Great to play for the lodge meetings.
Enjoy
