Hi, thanks for your videos. Have really helped me. I'm a master Mason of Neasden Lodge no 3695. We hold our meetings at the grand lodge of England. We sing, "Hail! eternal" to open the lodge and "now the evening shadows closing" to close. You can find these songs on UA-cam.
Hello brother, I am a Master Mason from the Grand Lodge of the Philippines. We sing the Pleyel's hymn during the tragedy in raising. this is the lyrics.. Solemn strikes the fun'ral chime Notes of our departing time; As we journey here below, Through a pilgrimage of woe. Here another guest we bring; Seraphs of celestial wing, To our fun'ral altar come, Waft this friend and brother home. Lord of all! Below-- above-- Fill our hearts with truth and love; As dissolves our earthly tie, Takes us to Thy Lodge on High.
I was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason on Tuesday. It was an amazing night that I’ll never forget. In the UK we don’t sing a song for a new master mason.
The clearing of oneself. In brotherhood. Just to know everything will be ok. Red dragon karate? Is in UK as well. That's rad. I met the brothers in so cal who own these schools. Great program for family's children. I would like to visit Whales.
The song used for the cornerstone laying described in the video may have been "Once this Stone now Laid with Prayer". I found the song in a 1950 Weslayan hymnal using the tune of Pleyels Hymn in the section including songs for for a cornerstone laying. I imagine the word church in the lyrics may be substituted with lodge'.
Greetings Worshipful Brother! Another fine and insightful video! It's actually a great coincidence that you've made a video about this. I was looking into it a couple weeks ago out of curiosity. In Delaware, we use "Solemn Strikes the Funeral Chime" (though I'm not sure that is the actual name as I haven't seen any songs referenced by that actual title). Joseph Pleyel created that musical arrangement in 1791 but it wasn't until 1816 (25 years later, And, coincidently, the same year my Blue Lodge was chartered in the Great State of Delaware... Temple Lodge No9!) that words were written to accompany the music by Bro David Vinton. Originally, there were 6 stanzas to the song but our state uses only 4 which happen to be the same as recorded in Duncan's Masonic Ritual & Monitor (stanzas 1, 2, 4, & 6). I haven't run across any info as to why we only use those 4 as of yet. Now here is the interesting part... Br Vinton was a traveling man in the sense they he held lectures and taught ritual to lodges in different states. There was some controversy over his use of cyphers and was eventually discredited in some states (for un-Masonic conduct not actually relevant to his cyphers but, nevertheless, used to discredit him since they couldn't do much about the cyphers). So, as I figure, some states sought alternatives to the funeral hymn for our 3rd degrees, and likely other parts of ritual, because they simply couldn't acknowledge him. Now, having said that, I'm no historian and would welcome any insight from Brothers that may shed additional light on the matter. I have included a couple links below for consideration... www.masonicsites.org/Pleyel%27s%20Hymn.htm srjarchives.tripod.com/1997-08/Davis.htm
In Finland we use specially composed ritual music by great composer and one of the earliest members the Suomi lodge #1 bro Jean Sibelius. Hrand lodge of Finland and Hrand Lodge of New York has all the notes and music stored. You can also find most of them from youtube.

Hi. I am no mason but I study masonry since I see masonry everywhere. From my point of view, the core masonic teaching is very much Alchemy in nature. Thank you.
"On This Stone Now Laid With Prayer" uses Pleyel's Hymn, but the lyrics look more appropriate to a church dedication than for that of a Grand Lodge building.
In Boise lodge #2 they played "The sound of silence" by disturbed for my degree this last Tuesday. It carried a lot of weight in that circumstance it felt perfect.
Greetings Worshipful. In Ohio, we use Pleyel's Hymn. I can see where some of the other songs would be appropriate. Fraternal Greetings. Dan Floyd. P.M./W.m. College Hill/ Harry S. Johnson 641
A local lodge has a bagpiper playing Amazing Grace instead of singing. Other lodges borrow him on occasion. He stands outside so as not to make us all deaf.

Laurels and dogma is basically bigger than the Bible and it is 33 individual degrees starting the three blue Lodge degrees, Albert Pike believed that just staying a blue Lodge member was not a good thing if you would not go all the way you did not really know what you were in on planning.

Morals & Dogma is largely Pikes re-printing of several other source materials, with his own commentary throughout - with notable sections much more his own writing than the rest of the compilation. You know, since the Bible is a compilation of Books, you could pick just about any book series like, oh say Harry Potter, and claim it is longer than the Bible.

Hello brother, I am a Master Mason from the Grand Lodge of the Philippines. We sing the Pleyel's hymn during the tragedy in raising.
this is the lyrics..
Solemn strikes the fun'ral chime
Notes of our departing time;
As we journey here below,
Through a pilgrimage of woe.
Here another guest we bring;
Seraphs of celestial wing,
To our fun'ral altar come,
Waft this friend and brother home.
Lord of all! Below-- above--
Fill our hearts with truth and love;
As dissolves our earthly tie,
Takes us to Thy Lodge on High.
I was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason on Tuesday. It was an amazing night that I’ll never forget. In the UK we don’t sing a song for a new master mason.
What a shame. For clarity, it isn't a song to the MM, like some toast or something, it's used during the degree.
No we don’t do a song during the ceremony. But they do sing in lodges in Wales but not as much in England.

I just became a master Mason last Wednesday so I might not of heard it yet I'm going too ask my mentor thx for responding
I'm getting raised this coming Saturday 30-07-2022. Thanks for the video. I do however wish we sang more in our lodge.

I love the history. Thank you, Brother.
Ignaz Pleyel...
In Massachusetts we use Pleyel's him during the 2nd section of the Master Mason Degree.
The Solemn Strikes the Funeral Chime lyrics, I presume?
@@WhatisaMason yes
Can one petition a lodge for membership at the age of 18?
In most places, yes - however, some places still use the standard of 21 being the minimum age.
What is a Mason thank you
@@brennenflanagan8882 3 years have passed. Did you apply?
In Finland we use specially composed ritual music by great composer and one of the earliest members the Suomi lodge #1 bro Jean Sibelius.
Hrand lodge of Finland and Hrand Lodge of New York has all the notes and music stored. You can also find most of them from youtube.
I sure hope that one day I can travel and see all these variations that make our Craft so excellent.
What is a Mason
You are welcome to sit with us at the Kilpi lodge #93 if you are ever in Finland. 😊
What Rite do you use in Finland?
@@vestland3877
Mainy freemasonry in Finland is Angloamerican heritage. Our mother grand lodge is the Grand Lodge of New York. So regular blue lodge plus appendant bodies.
We also have some lodges under grand lodge of Sweden that uses the Swedish rite.
@@Jannem thank you.
In Canada we do not have a song in my lodge the Brougham lodge
No song... darn.
Hi. I am no mason but I study masonry since I see masonry everywhere. From my point of view, the core masonic teaching is very much Alchemy in nature. Thank you.
I would agree that there are a lot of similarities and connections.
If you’re studying free masonry why not petition to you nearst lodge
"On This Stone Now Laid With Prayer" uses Pleyel's Hymn, but the lyrics look more appropriate to a church dedication than for that of a Grand Lodge building.
Thank you! I shall endeavor to learn more!

That's a new one. Interesting.
I bet some eyebrows were raised from 60

When you say Pleyel's Hymn, I presume it is the Solemn Strike the Funeral Chime lyrics?
@@WhatisaMason yes. We usually only use the first verse.
Fraternal Greetings from the Philippines
Greetings!
I just played The Pleyel's Hymn last Feb 23, 2019 during the raising . I am the organist of our lodge
What is Mark Master and Past Master?
A local lodge has a bagpiper playing Amazing Grace instead of singing. Other lodges borrow him on occasion. He stands outside so as not to make us all deaf.
Well, that's very kind of him! lol
Thank you
Can you send me the title of the songs please
They are in the video description.
The other verses of this hymn are more appropriate for the cornerstone procession
I believe it's pronounced "Plaiyel" but that's just how I've heard it.

Why not join a regular, recognized, lodge?

You've heard masonic songs played to that tune? Or just folks singing church songs at lodge?
