1858. This volume contains a collection of Masonic odes, hymns, songs, etc. for the public and private ceremonies and festivals of the Fraternity. It represents a complete and practical collection of music for the various public and private ceremonies and festivals of the Order. With very few exceptions, the tunes in this work are those which have become established favorites, and are widely known and admired. Much care was taken to give the melody and bass as they are most universally known, and with this view, not one note of either has been knowingly changed.
