And that's generally how it's played, and what the angels and demons know/believe to be true. The trick is that the Ethereals, the human-created dream-spirits that inhabit the Marches, claim that God was actually an Ethereal who hit the jackpot and then rewrote history/edited memories to solidify His position, so that everyone "remembers" Him as Composer. Both the angels and the demons consider this ridiculous (and in Heaven, it's considered outright heresy).

But that's what sends it into CDaU territory ... one of the questions each GM has to answer for him/herself is the nature of God (which tends to imply the nature of the Symphony as well).
