It had not crossed my mind to think of God being involved in the composition of the music. I was thinking Bach composed it. I do not see any reason to question Bach being the composer and his mind imagination skill and knowledge being the means.

Oh I left out the physical reality of the available musical instruments and what those devices were capable of doing. Then there is the skill traditions of people who play the instruments. These too would be critical components of the creation of new music.
I’m confused, where does your God play His part?
Perhaps he makes people choose a surprise f sharp when e flat is expected . or maybe he does not do junk like that at all.

Hi Morley, as I pictured you drawing a cow it was Jean Dubuffet who came to my mind. You now show us a Dubuffet cow, nice to see. But there are other cows. Dutch landscapes liked to have cows included.

I do not think Gary Larson should be neglected, he could draw a mean cow.
