Greetings, music lovers! I’ll give a Zoom talk/concert about my book Music From Elsewhere in Shannon Taggart’s Supernatural Mystery Symposium, through the Viktor Wynd Museum in London on October 22, at 8:00 pm. I’ll play music attributed to fairies, trolls, trows, angels, aliens, time slips, and other unlikely sources, and suggest possible explanations.

POSTSCRIPT: The selections included:

“Fairy Dance”: an Irish fairy tune reported in 1888.
3 examples of the call of the banshee, from 1888, 1843, and 1892.
“Winyadepla”: a trowie tune from the Shetland Islands in Scotland.
“Norsk Troldmusik”: music of Norse trolls, reported in 1861.
“Regina cæli lætare”: Gregorian chant ascribed to angels.
“Outer space music” reported by Philip Rodgers in the 1950s.
“Mother Ann’s Song”: a Shaker “vision song” from 1844.
“The Haunted Ground”: a song by the Fox Sisters, 1851.
“An Adventure”: music reported from a supposed time slip in 1902.
“Disappointment”: a piece Rosemary Brown claimed she channeled from Schumann.
“Fort in Solrésol”: a passage by Charles Fort in the artificial language Solrésol.
“Fuga I”: an alchemical fugue by Michael Maier, 1618.
“Port na bPucaì”: an Irish tune ascribed to either fairies or whales.
Two tunes I heard in dreams.
