In summary, is not no secret that Mozart was a Freemason and even the most distracted can easily stumble with that information on the Net. It is thus evident that a gallery of famous Masons can not contain a text about the most famous of famous Masons! So here is a brief portrait of Mason WA Mozart.
Mozart was eleven years old when, struck by smallpox, was treated for a Viennese physician nicknamed Wolff, who was a prominent Freemason. In gratitude for his healing, Mozart composed a melody that offered Dr. Wolff, who called An die Freude (joy). The text was clearly an inspiration to music maçónica e o jovem Mozart não poderia ter composto a melodia sem conhecer o seu sentido.
Um ano mais tarde, Mozart travou conhecimento com o célebre Dr. Messmer, também maçon.
Aos dezasseis anos de idade, Mozart compôs O heiliges Band (Ó Sagrada Escritura), sobre um texto de Lens existente num conjunto de textos maçónicos, reservado apenas aos maçons e a que, naturalmente, era suposto nenhum profano ter acesso...
Um ano mais tarde, um maçon importante, von Gebler, encomendou a Mozart dois coros e cinco entreactos para acompanhar um drama heróico, Thamos, rei do Egipto (prefigurando o que mais tarde virá a ser uma opera entitled The Magic Flute).
That is, between 11 and 17 years of contact with Mozart Masons and their way of thinking and seeing the world was common.
In 1783, Mozart was then 27 years old, the famous Gemmingen, who knew the composer, installs its own Masonic Lodge in Vienna and Mozart invites you to join her, and then execute the office of Master of Harmony. Mozart reflects. In November the following year, submits its application to the Lodge Zur Wohlthätigkeit (Charity). It was then started on December 14, 1784.
The January 7, 1785 (only 24 days after their initiation!), Mozart is in store Zur Wahren Eintracht (True Concord), passed to the degree of Fellow. The January 10, ending the String Quartet in A Major (K 464), in which the Andante movement refers to the ritual of Masonic initiation. The January 13 (six days after the passage of the Companion, 30 days after their initiation!), Mozart is raised to the rank of Master. Four days later, he composed a String Quartet in C Major (K 465), which refers to the degree of Fellow. In March 1785, ending the Concerto in C Major (K 467), which makes clear reference to the Andante third degree, the Master.
The April 6, 1785, participates in the ceremony of your Initiation his father, Leopold Mozart.
Mozart took part in numerous meetings and composed numerous works shop designed to be played in session. Visit Merchants Zu den drei Adlern (Three Eagles) and gekrönten Zur Hoffnung (Hope Crowned).
However, the disease which will eventually be fatal (the Schönlein-Henoch syndrome) progresses. Mozart composed his three major works with Masonic symbolism: The Clemency of Titus, the Magic Flute and the Requiem.
Mozart's death leads to a meeting of funeral obsequies of his brothers. A eulogy was given at the time printed. Today, it remains only one copy. Here's your translation:
The Great Architect of the Universe recently pulled our chain Fraternal one of the links that was the most expensive and valuable. Who does not know him? Who does not love our brother as remarkable Mozart? There are still a few weeks, he was among us, glorifying with his enchanting music the inauguration of the Temple. Who among us would imagine it would be so quickly ripped from our midst? Who knew that three weeks after his death weep? It's sad fate to the tax man, leaving the life leaving his work unfinished, and it is so excellent. Even leaving die reis to posterity their intentions unfinished. The artists are dying after they devoted their lives to improve their art to reach perfection. The admiration of everyone carries on túmulo.No However, if people mourn his admirers not long, too often, to forget them. His friends maybe, but not us, his brothers! The death of Mozart's art to an irreparable loss. Her gifts are recognized from childhood, had made him one of the wonders of this time. Europe knew him and admired him. The princes and we liked him, we could call him "my brother". But it is obvious to honor his genius, não nos devemos esquecer de comemorar a nobreza do seu coração. Foi um membro assíduo da nossa Ordem. O seu amor fraternal, a sua natureza inteira e devotada, a sua caridade, a alegria que mostrava quando beneficiava um de seus irmãos com a sua bondade e o seu talento, tais eram as suas imensas qualidades, que nós louvamos neste dia de luto. Era simultaneamente um marido, um pai, o amigo de seus amigos e o irmão de seus irmãos. Se tivesse tido fortuna, faria todos tão felizes como ele desejaria.
