Note: The editor is not saying that these tunes should be used in the lodge; rather, these are tunes which are currently being used in lodges. The approval for any such use is unknown to the editor.

Here is a "song sheet" from Concord Lodge #13, in South Dakota. It is truly a part of history!!

Here is a another piece of masonic history, an "Opening Ode" from Trenton, New Jersey on January 19, 1876!

Even more historic Masonic music, "Except the Lord Build the House" and "I Have Surely Built Thee an House to Dwell in" by A. Holmes-Dallimore, a fund raiser from London, England circa December 1923!

Australian Lodges under the Grand Lodge of Antient, Free and Accepted Masons of South Australia and Northern Territory sing the beautiful "Song of Australia" at the Festive Board, after the toast to Grand Lodge.

Lodges in the United States usually have a "Flag Salute" at the opening of the lodge. Often, when there is a Lodge Musician, the lodges expand this to include the playing of the National Anthem. Even more impressive is this "Flag Presentation Ceremony" used in Henry Lodge No. 57, in Fairfax, Virginia.

Lodges in Texas, Georgia and parts of Alabama sing a "Funeral Dirge" (lyrics) to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne".
