Origins:
Of the various clandestine rites of Freemasonry this musical ritual, which dates back to the very earliest lodges, has been guarded with perhaps the greatest secrecy - until now ! Although game-like in structure, there are no winners, only the emanation of an exotic music which has been said to be reminiscent of that heard in the ancient temple of Solomon itself.
Game Play:
The game is played out on a court with players holding one of the three roles of masters, serfs, and freemen. On each of the Grand High Wizard’s regularly occurring gong-downbeats, players change roles in concurrence with the Masonic Code and move between sections of the court accordingly. The Grand High Wizard will decide upon a certain number of masters and serfs to begin the game by using the Ancient Table of Players and will signal the start using special gong-downbeat which also signals the end of game play.
Roles:
Masters - Conduct the serfs. Keep conducting even if no serfs are following you! Don’t make any sounds.
Serfs - Obey a master using a kazoo. You must keep the same master until the next gong- downbeat but can change masters then if you wish. If there are no masters then remain silent.
Freemen - Play freely on the selection of fine instruments.
