I'm a bit cerebral...and a bit of a fan of music. There are just some combinations of sound that we cling to. It's cultural, yes, but I have a feeling it's tied to more than just language and our needs for expression. Humans are story tellers, but maybe the universe has a story, too. If you ever have a chance to listen to sounds (frequencies) made by the universe, I think you'd have a good chuckle but also see how sound is part of life. It cannot ever be separated from it. It depends on it.

I have noticed that classical music ( no remakes of any of all those compositions) is in fact enduring. I know many people who will eventually tire of the current groove wave they are riding and go back periodically to..yes..classical. I also know that babies will get quiet and listen to it while they're eyes get wide in horror to the modem headbanging sort. No one has to school them on what music is. They seem to already know. Just an observation of mine over time...
There ARE sounds ( frequencies as you put it) that I've found my self following, per se...that no one else indicated they had been aware of.
Good post of yours.. I'll be posting again soon
I listen to our very good classical station here in Seattle. Some is pretty meh and so much is really soul satisfying... like Mozart, he goes "tinky tinky" far too much for my taste, and is especially annoying as I often catch "Mozart at 8" on the way to work. Blaugh. But in the afternoon there is someone who puts on Debussy, Vivaldi, Ravel... some of the most sublime classical pieces.... Le Mer sends me to another world it's so beautiful.
I used to dabble in cognitive psychology. Wish I could say there was a reason for that, but there is a surprising lack of research in what sort of music evokes what sort of mood or emotion. Probably because a lot of researchers can't hear music as music... THAT we did do research on, and about 50% of humans can't tell one rhythm from the other.
I think I'm a bit moreinto impressionistic in my music taste, probably if you're hearing a story, you're more lyrical. A good example of lyrical would be Coppelia, which is a ballet. Or the Nutcracker Suite, which yes tells a story. Different eras and genres.
