Erik Satie was a very odd man and he wrote some very odd music. I like the music, somewhat. It can get tedious. He wrote some quasi-Masonic music: - Air de l'Ordre ("Air of the Order")
- Air du Grand Maître ("Air of the Grand-Master", i.e. Sâr Péladan)
- Air du Grand Prieur ("Air of the Grand-Prior", i.e. Count Antoine de La Rochefoucauld)
But he was not a Freemason. He was part of that Parisian Esoteric Explosion that Tobias Churton wrote about in his book Occult Paris: The Lost Magic of the Belle Époque. I was thinking of buying this book, but the Kindle version is £13.99, and I think that is too much for a couple of electrons. Satie was a joker most of the time, so some of the mystical orders he was in might be complete inventions.
