  • Freemasonry and Civil Society: Reform of Manners and the Journal Fu¨R Freymaurer (1784-1786)
    111 Freemasonry and civil society: reform of manners and the Journal fuÈr Freymaurer (1784-1786) ANDREAS OÈ NNERFORS Freemasonry as a tool of moral improvement In 1784 the Bohemian mineralogist Ignaz von Born, in his capacity as master of the Masonic lodge Zur wahren Eintracht [True Union] in Vienna, took the initiative to publish the ®rst successful Masonic period- ical in Europe, the Journal fuÈr Freymaurer.1 It was subsequently edited in twelve quarterly volumes, with an average of 250 pages, printed in 1000 copies and disseminated across the entire Habsburg Monarchy, a vast undertaking, bearing in mind the transport infrastructure of the eight- eenth century. The journal contained extensive treatments of religious traditions resembling Freemasonry, essays on Masonic virtues and values, reviews of Masonic literature, poetry and Masonic news from all parts of Europe. But a signi®cant number of the essays included in the journal also covered the impact of Freemasonry on society. The Masonic move- ment interpreted itself as a moral force with the potential to transform manners for the universal bene®t and improvement of society and mankind. Born wrote in his address to readers that, within the Order of Freemasons, freedom of thought and equality of all natural rights was a fundamental law. Hence, it was a right to communicate the results of such free deliberation to fellow brethren.2 Based upon a series of essays focusing on the moral aspects of Freemasonry, this article attempts to outline the content of these `free deliberations' that only a few years before the French Revolution read surprisingly radical, especially in the context of the Habsburg Monarchy.

  • Mozart's Die Zauberflöte: a Kingdom of Notes and Numbers

Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL May 2016 Copyright 2016 by Daemon Garafallo ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author wishes to express his thanks to his committee members for their guidance, especially to his thesis advisor, Dr. Ken Keaton, for helping the author through a difficult time these past few years, and to Dr. Sandra McClain for going above and beyond in her dual role of committee member and academic advisor and for doing an excellent job at both. He also would like to acknowledge Dr. James Cunningham for his help and guidance throughout his degree. iv ABSTRACT Author: Daemon Garafallo Title: Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte: A Kingdom of Notes and Numbers Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Ken Keaton Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2016 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed Die Zauberflöte in the last year of his life. It was intended in part to glorify Freemasonry as a new Emperor, more hostile to the Masons, took his office. After a brief survey of his life and works, this paper shows how Mozart used number symbolism in the opera, and will equip the reader with an understanding of this as practiced by the Freemasons. Further, it will show how Mozart associated the characters of the opera with specific musical tones. It will expose a deeper understanding of the question of meaning in word and text in his opera.

  • Whose Enlightenment?
    Erschienen in: Austrian History Yearbook ; 48 (2017). - S. 111-125 https://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S0067237817000017 Whose Enlightenment? FRANZ L. FILLAFER HE ENLIGHTENMENT SEEMS OUT OF KILTER. Until fairly recently, its trajectories were beguilingly simple and straightforward. Devised by Western metropolitan Tmasterminds, the Enlightenment was piously appropriated by their latter-day apprentices in Central and Eastern Europe. This process of benign percolation made modern science, political liberty, and religious toleration trickle down to East-Central Europe. The self-orientalizing of nineteenth-century Central European intellectuals reinforced this impression, making concepts that were ostensibly authentic and pristine at their “Western” sources seem garbled and skewed once appropriated in their region. Today science, liberty, and toleration are recognized to have also been much patchier and more “provincial” at their putative chief sources in England, France, and the Netherlands. The once stable assumptions of Cold War histories of science and ideas seem increasingly untenable. Over the past two decades, the coherence and “Western” credentials of modernity have waned, and so has its essentially anti-clerical thrust.1 Historians have done much to dispel clichés about the Enlightenment fabricated by nineteenth-century liberals who drew on its legacy and thereby belittled collateral heirs’ claims to the same heritage. Conservative and religious varieties of the Enlightenment have re-emerged from the shambles of the liberal narrative,2 religion is being rediscovered as a “chrysalis” rather than as a mere “casualty of modernity.”3 1See, for example, John Tutino, Making a New World: Founding Capitalism in the Bajío and Spanish North America (Durham, NC, 2011).

Although the expression of oneself is at the crux of the content of compositions, the idea of the composition in the first place does not necessarily start with motivation. Composers may be commissioned by others, moved to respond to an event or disaster, or motivated strictly monetarily by their employer (either a corporation or royal court, depending on the era). This paper poses the question: What motivates composers to compose? The thesis will be drawn out in two examples: Paul Hindemith’s late sonatas and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Oboe Quartet in F. The theory of basic desires to motivation proposed by Steven Reiss will be used to explain each of the composers’ desires to compose. Paul Hindemith (1895–1963) was born in Hanau, Germany which is near Frankfurt.

  • The Influence of Ancient Esoteric Thought Through
    THROUGH THE LENS OF FREEMASONRY: THE INFLUENCE OF ANCIENT ESOTERIC THOUGHT ON BEETHOVEN’S LATE WORKS BY BRIAN S. GAONA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Performance and Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Clinical Assistant Professor/Artist in Residence Brandon Vamos, Chair Professor William Kinderman, Director of Research Associate Professor Donna A. Buchanan Associate Professor Zack D. Browning ii ABSTRACT Scholarship on Ludwig van Beethoven has long addressed the composer’s affiliations with Freemasonry and other secret societies in an attempt to shed new light on his biography and works. Though Beethoven’s official membership remains unconfirmed, an examination of current scholarship and primary sources indicates a more ubiquitous Masonic presence in the composer’s life than is usually acknowledged. Whereas Mozart’s and Haydn’s Masonic status is well-known, Beethoven came of age at the historical moment when such secret societies began to be suppressed by the Habsburgs, and his Masonic associations are therefore much less transparent. Nevertheless, these connections surface through evidence such as letters, marginal notes, his Tagebuch, conversation books, books discovered in his personal library, and personal accounts from various acquaintances. This element in Beethoven’s life comes into greater relief when considered in its historical context. The “new path” in his art, as Beethoven himself called it, was bound up not only with his crisis over his incurable deafness, but with a dramatic shift in the development of social attitudes toward art and the artist.

  • Mozart Biography
    Mozart Cliff Eisen According to a possibly apocryphal story, when the conductor Otto Klemperer was asked to list his favourite composers, Mozart was not among them. On being taxed with his, Klemperer is said to have replied, 'Oh, I thought you meant the others'. This anecdote illustrates how Mozart is often regarded, almost as a matter of course: as a pre-eminent (some would say 'the' pre-eminent) composer of operas, concertos, symphonies and chamber music.[1] His life and works can conveniently be divided into three distinct periods: 1756- 1773 when, as a child prodigy, he toured much of Western Europe and composed his first works; 1773-1780, when he was largely based in Salzburg in the employ of the Salzburg court (with a significant interruption from September 1777 to January 1779, when he quit service in search of a position at either Mannheim or Paris); and 1781-1791, when he was permanently resident in Vienna and during which time he composed the works for which he is best remembered. Most Mozart biographers see in this three-fold division a pattern that, even if its dates do not exactly correspond with the traditional, Rousseauian model of a creative life - apprenticeship (which for Mozart is said to extend from 1763 to the late 1770s), maturity (the late 1770s to about 1788), and decline (about 1788-1791) - is nevertheless more or less consistent with how other composers' lives, including Palestrina, Beethoven and Rossini, are usually represented. The one significant difference, perhaps, is that Mozart's alleged decline is 'redeemed' by the composition, in his final year, of two transcendent works: the sacred Requiem and the secular The Magic Flute.
