Masonic music has been defined as "music used in connection with the ritual and social functions of freemasonry". Two major types of music used in masonic lodges are lodge songs, played to keyboard accompaniment before or after meetings, or during meals; and music written to accompany specific masonic ceremonies and events. Because the number 3 and the letter 'B' are of particular significance to freemasonry, music written in the keys of C minor or E flat major, which both involve 3 flats, (whose symbol '♭' resembles the lowercase letter 'b'), in their key signatures has been considered especially appropriate for masonic ceremonial music.

  • Masonic music has been defined as "music used in connection with the ritual and social functions of freemasonry". Two major types of music used in masonic lodges are lodge songs, played to keyboard accompaniment before or after meetings, or during meals; and music written to accompany specific masonic ceremonies and events. Because the number 3 and the letter 'B' are of particular significance to freemasonry, music written in the keys of C minor or E flat major, which both involve 3 flats, (whose symbol '♭' resembles the lowercase letter 'b'), in their key signatures has been considered especially appropriate for masonic ceremonial music. The music written for masonic use by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is among the best-known of its kind. It includes the Maurerische Trauermusik (Masonic Funeral Music) and a number of songs and cantatas. Mozart's opera The Magic Flute and his incidental music to Thamos, King of Egypt also have masonic connections. Lodges sometimes used the music of other composers for their proceedings (with or without permission) often adding different words. For example, in 1810, Ludwig van Beethoven, who is not documented as a mason, wrote to his friend the doctor Franz Wegeler: "I was told you were singing a song of mine in the Masonic Lodge... Send it to me, I am going to replace it and you won't be sorry." Wegeler himself published two masonic texts suggesting melodies of Beethoven (the Opferlied WoO 126 and the song Der freie Mann WoO 117) which could be used for them. Music especially composed for masonic rituals began to be published in the 18th century, including music written by Georg Benda, Ignaz Pleyel, François-André Danican Philidor, Johann Gottlieb Naumann, Johann Christian Friedrich Hæffner and Christian Gottlob Neefe. Anthems and other works for use in masonic lodges were written by, amongst others, in the 18th century William Boyce, in the 19th century Albert Lortzing, and in the 20th century Jean Sibelius. French composer André Gedalge wrote the anthem for the International Order of Freemasonry Le Droit Humain, with lyrics by his wife Amélie André-Gedalge, who was initiated at Lodge No. 1 of Le Droit Humain in 1907. Japanese composer Kento Masuda wrote the theme of the Great Architect of the Universe in 2021. (en)

Quienes escribieron himnos y otras obras para los trabajos en las logias masónicas han sido, entre otros: William Boyce, en el siglo XVIII; Albert Lortzing, en el siglo XIX, y Jean Sibelius, en el siglo XX.​ La música escrita por Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart para la masonería es una de las más conocidas del género. Incluye la Maurerische Trauermusik (Música fúnebre masónica) y una serie de canciones y cantatas.​ La ópera La flauta mágica y su música incidental para Thamos, Rey de Egipto también tienen conexiones masónicas.​ Las logias a veces utilizaban la música de otros compositores para sus actos (con o sin permiso), y a menudo cambiaban la letra. Por ejemplo, en 1810, Ludwig van Beethoven, que no está documentado como masón, escribió a su amigo, el doctor Franz Wegeler: «me dijeron que estabais cantando una canción mía en la logia masónica... Mándemela, voy a cambiarla. No se arrepentirá». El propio Wegeler publicó dos textos masónicos que sugieren melodías de Beethoven (la , WoO 126, y la canción , WoO 117), que quizá se utilizaron en los rituales.​ (es)
