Haydn and the Enlightenment
Dermot Clinch investigates the influence of Freemansonry and the Enlightenment on Haydn's music. Contributions are from Dermot David Schroeder, Keith Moore and Simon McVeigh.
Haydn joined the Masonic Lodge Zur wahren Eintracht in Vienna in 1785, but he was not a member for very long, and was reputedly not particularly interested in Freemasonry. Dermot Clinch investigates Haydn's connections with Masonic ideas, and talks to scholars of the 18th century Enlightenment, including Professor David Schroeder who feels that the Enlightenment had a strong influence on the composer's music.
