Musician Says Dead, Famous Composers Instructed Her to Create This Music

In the 1970s, a British housewife earned fame as a composer and pianist with music she said was communicated to her by the spirits of dead, famous composers.

Some musical experts of the time were convinced this was true, as Rosemary Brown’s compositions did seem to be of a caliber and style to be expected from these composers. Hungarian composer Franz Liszt (1811–1886) was her chief instructor, but she also purportedly received music from Ludwig van Beethoven, Fryderyk Chopin, Claude Debussy, J.S. Bach (whom she found intimidating), Franz Schubert, and more.

Even those who scoff at the idea of spirit composers, admit Brown’s compositions are extraordinary and something unusual was at work. H.A. Edwards wrote of Brown in “A Skeptic’s Guide to the New Age”: “While I am prepared to concede that Mrs. Brown may … have produced her material from her own subconscious, I certainly do not believe that it was through the medium of any supernatural agency.”

I guess the rest of us composer-wannabes are Lisztless.

[Fresh Wind]

I can see you were just Chopin at the bit to throw in a bad pun.

[rarestia]

Should probably sulk with a spoon and a container of Schubert for that burn.

They made a movie of her life. It is called “Bach to the Future”.

Necromancy is defined as the conjuring of the spirits of the dead for purposes of magically revealing the future or influencing the course of events. In the Bible, necromancy is also called “divination,” “sorcery” and “spiritism” and is forbidden many times in Scripture (Leviticus 19:26; Deuteronomy 18:10; Galatians 5:19-20; Acts 19:19) as an abomination to God. It is something that the Lord speaks very strongly against and is to be avoided as much as any evil. The reason for this is twofold.

First, the person involved in necromancy is not actually speaking with the spirits of the dead, rather they are speaking with demons called "familiar spirits" because those who die go immediately to heaven or hell based on whether they believed in Jesus as their Savior. There is no contact between the dead and the living. Therefore, seeking the dead is unnecessary and very dangerous. Anyone communing with these spirits opens themselves up to demonic attack. Satan and his demons seek to destroy us, not to impart to us truth or wisdom. We are told that our “enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8).

Second, necromancy does not rely on the Lord for information, the Lord who promises to freely give wisdom to all who ask for it (James 1:5). This is especially telling because the Lord always wants to lead us to truth and life, but demons always want to lead us to lies and serious damage.

I’ll be Bach to read this thread later.

And when J.S. showed up for his second visit, she said, “Glad to see you’re Bach.” It scared him so much that he couldn’t Handel it, so he went into Haydn.

necromancy does not rely on the Lord for information

Ditto all of the message.

Well in a sense many artist do this. It’s called inspiration. No ghost are involved of course.

The first section of The Silmarillion, Ainulindalë (”The Music of the Ainur”), takes the form of a primary creation narrative. Eru (”The One”), also called Ilúvatar (”Father of All”), first created the Ainur, a group of eternal spirits or demiurges, called “the offspring of his thought”. Ilúvatar brought the Ainur together and showed them a theme, from which he bade them make a great music. Melkor — whom Ilúvatar had given the “greatest power and knowledge” of all the Ainur — broke from the harmony of the music to develop his own song. Some Ainur joined him, while others continued to follow Ilúvatar, causing discord in the music. This happened thrice, with Eru Ilúvatar successfully overpowering his rebellious subordinate with a new theme each time. Ilúvatar then stopped the music and showed them a vision of Arda and its peoples. - Summary of JRR Tolkien’s Silmarillion

Beautiful!

My luck is so bad that if a spirit contacted me, the only info it would give is last week’s lottery numbers

[TheOldLady]

I hate to admit it, but I have a tin ear. Couldn’t carry a
tune in a bucket if someone carried me and the bucket.

Write music? [hysterical laughter] Not in this life.

May not be able to sing, but I do enjoy listening to music,
and all types of music are very pleasing to me.

[Ditter]

I’m The same, no musical ability at all. Can’t sing, have no rhythm, can’t dance, I don’t even listen to much music. But I am an artist, drawing, painting comes natural to me and I do that all the time.

[TheOldLady]

Yes, you have posted some of your work here on FR from time to time.

I’m in awe of your talent.
