Music accompaniment enhances all Masonic Rituals and Memorial services. I play music for my Lodge in the Florida Keys and am looking for any input on Masonic music. There are specific songs associated with the degrees, but I have found most of the material to be improvisational. I found two masonic Music books with varying degrees of complexity. I also found a Masonic Musician that happens to live in South Florida named Joscar Poerschke. I attended an Entered Apprentice Degree Initiation, and his music really enhanced the ritual. When I play for Ritual work, I find it a great addition to include sound effects such as Gongs, Benedictine Monk Chants and various keyboards. Open to any and all input and stories of you own experiences as both Brother Masons sitting in a Lodge where music was performed or as a Masonic musician yourself.
