MASONIC REGALIA 19TH CENTURY PINS MUSIC FOR PENNY WHISTLE SHEET MUSIC .

The Mason’s Apron The Mason’s Apron is a traditional Irish reel, also known as Braes Of Glenorchy, Isla, Lowrie Tarrell, and Mason Laddie. Originally an eighteenth century English tune, it has long been popular in Ireland and appears to have been first recorded by New York accordion player John J. Kimmel in 1915. The earliest published version is found in Riley's Flute Melodies Vol 2 (New York : 1814 -1830), compiled by Edward Riley (1769-1829). The reel rhythm is 4/4—that is, four quarter notes in every bar: ONE-two-three-four, ONE-two-three-four—usually composed of a mixture of quarter notes and eighth notes. In recent years The Mason’s Apron has been variously recorded in a melodic new-age style, as a hard-driving dance piece and with a jazz influence. There is nothing masonic about the music itself and, unfortunately, nothing is known of its early history that could identify it with Freemasonry. If it was in fact composed by a freemason, or intended to commemorate a masonic event, no clue remains.
