Whose lo?ig and ardent devotion to the cause of Freemasonry, and whose daily life is a practical exemplification of its sublime principles, challenging the love of every member of the Fraternity, and adorning the profession of which he is an honored Brother, this work is fraternally dedicated, by
HOWARD M. DOW. Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, Office of the Grand Master, Boston, August 12, 1869.
Brother Howard M. Dow, Grand Organist of our Grand Lodge,
My Dear Frater :•— I have examined the Mss. of your " Masonic Orpheus," which you were kind enough to submit to me. Your experience*!!! the department of song appertaining to our Fraternity has prompted you to a work which will receive the unqualified thanks of the Craft, in all degrees of the so-called York Rite. The selection of the Hymns has been judicious. The arrangement of the Music for male voices supplies a deficiency which has long been apparent.
I most cheerfully recommend the " Orpheus " to the " Craft universal," assembled in Lodge, Chapter, Council, and Commandery, and I sincerely believe that its general use will tend to elevate the work, and render the assemblies of the Brethren both pleasant and attractive.
With Fraternal regards,
Wm. S. Gardner, Grand Master. PREFACE.
Music, like the other Arts, is progressive. In this regard, upon looking over the various collections of Masonic music in use, the standard is neither so high as the progress of the Art demands, nor is the arrangement adapted especially for male voices, as it should be. The Psalmody and iamiliar airs mainly in use were composed and arranged for mixed voices, and so are ineffective and unsuited to choirs necessarily composed of male voices. It was while attempting to remedy these defects in style and arrangement, by consulting the works of the best composers, and re-arranging and adapting them for his own use in the various Degrees and Orders, and his efforts being so favorably received by his Masonic Brethren, that the author was persuaded to enlarge his original design, and prepare a Manual for general use; the present volume, which he hopes will meet the approval of the Fraternity, being the result. It is not too much to assert that there is scarcely a Lodge, Chapter, Council, or Commandery which does not possess within itself the material, which, by proper cultivation, would be enabled to render such music as the occasion requires in an acceptable manner ; and the impressiveness and solemnity of appropriate music, combined with the work of the various degrees, is unquestionable. The majority of pieces contained in these pages the author has endeavored to bring within the ordinary range of male voices, and to that end, has resorted to transpositions in all cases, when deemed necessary. Also, in order to meet all tastes and capacities, a considerable portion of the work has been allotted to familiar tunes.
That his efforts. may result in elevating the standard, and increasing the interest in the musical portion of the work of our much cherished
Fraternity, is the sincere wish of the AUTHOR.
