Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was a member of Lodge Zur neugekroentin, Hoffnung (new crowned hope). Renowned as a musical genius and composer of pieces with Masonic themes, Mozart was a child prodigy who composed his first published works at the age of seven. In 1770, at the age of 14, he heard Gregorio Allegri's "Miserere" a single time, went home and wrote the entire piece down from memory!
