Abstract
British research libraries are full of eighteenth-century masonic materials that contain song texts, but the exact use to which these songs were put has remained elusive. Drawing upon a close reading of the sources and contemporary comment Andrew Pink proposes a model for organising this material, as well as a model for its performance.
