About

In early 1922, after Finland had established its independence, a new Masonic lodge was formed – Suomi Lodge No.1 – and among its first members was Jean Sibelius, who initially served as the lodge’s organist.

Sibelius received a commission for ‘special, genuinely Finnish music for the lodge’, and the Masonic Ritual Music, or Musique religieuse, received its first complete performance on 12th January 1927.

This CD also includes an arrangement of the score, made by Jaakko Kuusisto at the request of the Finnish Freemasons, for a special celebration concert held at the Sibelius Hall in Lahti.
