Every human being experiences joy, sadness, anger, and other such
feelings. We all are host to scores of
emotions which control what we say and how we act. Many times outside events or people are what
trigger our emotions. Music is one of
these these things.
The specific song
you are listening to can affect how you feel.
Different types of music may make you cry, laugh, or even feel
anger. Music from composers Chopin, Tchaikovsky, and
Rachmaninov are often found to be very moving.
Some compositions, such as Bach's 'Goldberg Variations' and Vaughan
Williams 'Fantasia on a Theme at Thomas Tollins', renew your oneness with God
by getting through your outer layers and connection with your heart and
soul. Music can also help you release
your emotions. Battling up your feeling
can lead to an unhealthy emotional state.
You need to express your emotions, not repress them.
Different types of
music affect different parts of your body.
The emotional body is most influenced by woodwinds and string instruments. Certain songs also cause
feeling to emerge. Beethoven's 'Emperor Concerto'
is known to motivate, strenthen will power, and give courage. Marches focus you on the task at hand, which
is probably why the ary uses them.
National anthems unify the people of a country. The are written to inspire loyalty and
patriotism.
Listeners are often
moved to great emotion by classical composers especially. Such compositions usually contain a myth,
story or is an "ode to God".
The music of the modern era is not as conclusive because your emotions
are affected by the lyrics. Even if the
music is high pitched and in a major key you may be sad if it is about
suicide.
Certain types of
sounds and music create feelings of relaxation, balance and healing. These usually include lyrical, flowing
melodies and chord arrangements.
Particular chord arrangements can create an atmosphere of openness and
peace. The pitch of notes also has an
effect. Deep sounds (which have slow
frequencies) sooth, relax, and heal.
High sounds (which have fast frequencies) refresh and recharge the
brain. Another factor is the key. Major keys generally have a happy, uplifting
feel, while minor keys are more mysterious and sad.
