NOTE:

The following material was scanned from Luke Eastmans 1818 book, Masonik Melodies; from the collection of Lilynne Helen Davis, Past Grand Organist, Washington Order of the Eastern Star; Worthy Matron of Laurel Chapter, Black Diamond, Washington (2004 2006). The pages of the original book displayed their true age, including wormholes and cross-page print bleeding. Hence, the adjustments in the scanning settings forced a compromise in the original quality. Lilynne is a talented pianist and singer, who distinguishes herself by playing for a large number of Masonic events, including Master Masons Installations; thus her familiarity, devotion and following of the music of the Master Masons antiquity. It should be appreciated that Freemasonry composes a unique culture, which embodies all of the arts including Masonic music.

Suffice it to say that such a notion was seriously ista"en# as Ro$ert Macoy included uni%ue Eastern Star usic in his &Ado'ti(e Rite!) That wor" also included uni%ue Eastern Star artwor", which should ha(e sur(i(ed the *+00s# $ut so ehow failed! ,i(en that the odern Eastern Star ritual $orrowed hea(ily fro that wor", it is sur'rising that the usic and art wasn-t also $rought forward# or at least e ulated! .owe(er, it should also $e noted that the Order of the Eastern Star also see s to ha(e also lost trac" of two great history $oo"s on the origins and e(olution of the Order, one written $y /illis Engle 0*+112 and another $y .arold 3oorhis 0*10*2! 4n any e(ent, the Eastern Star art and 'reser(ing i 'ortant Masonic art for s! usic are included in this section, in the interest of
