The Irony of Mozart’s Requiem?

Had I have not read Malachi Martin’s novel ‘Windswept House’ this year, where he mentions Mozart’s opera ‘The Magic Flute’ being a favourite soundtrack for his Masonic character Gib Appleyard to listen to, then I probably wouldn’t have realized just how Mozart’s life and work was so eerily synchromystic, especially after listening to podcasts about Mozart’s final project, his Requiem.

Mozart, the Masons and “The Magic Flute”?

What I didn’t know about Mozart was that he died a Catholic and a Mason and his last work was his incomplete (by him) Requiem for a Count whose wife passed away on St. Valentine’s Day the same year that Mozart would die ... 1791.
