Previously unknown Mozart music comes to light

Bro. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was apparently into writing church music in the years leading up to his death at age 35, researchers suggest, after a single sheet of musical notation in his handwriting was re-discovered recently.

The musical keys of the sketch indicates it was written in a style usually used in music designed for use in Catholic Mass.

The type of paper on which the music appears wasn't in use until 1787, an Associated Press article reports. Bro. Mozart died in 1791.

Mozart, the Masonic Grand Magician

Freemasonry is international, found in most every part of the world.

Apparently, it's also very international for novelists to use Masonry and Masons as plot devices and characters in their books.

Click here to read the English translation of a Korean book review of a French novel that ties the Austrian Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to ancient Egypt through, you guessed it, Freemasonry.

The four-volume story by prolific French author Christian Jacq involves Thamos, the count of Tebas in Egypt, who singles out young prodigy Amadeus as a potential grand magician who will save the world by means of his music.

Jacq's earlier series "Ramses" includes the novels The Son of Light, The Temple of a Million Years (aka The Eternal Temple), The Battle of Kadesh, The Lady of Abu Simbel, and Under the Western Acacia. With titles like these, I'm guessing Freemasonic ideas in some form are a recurring theme.
