Hello! I thought I’d share a link to my new book, in case you’re interested in this topic. "Designing Music for Emotion: A Practical Guide for Film and Media Composers and Music Enthusiasts" The book is a practical guide on how to write music that elicits different emotions such as happiness, sadness, love, anxiety, triumph, wonder, fear and many more. It's packed with dozens of techniques, over 60+ music reductions (and audio) and research-backed insights to help you create music that truly moves your audience. Foreword by Jay Chattaway (EMI award winning Hollywood composer, "Maniac", "Star Trek TV Series") 308 pages, 98 figures, 45 tables https://amzn.eu/d/aV9GRj5 One of the full orchestral scores discussed within the book with score reductions, "Sintel", is free today Best Regards

People seem to think that different keys have different emotions. Others think it's all pseudoscience. Why do you think certain keys have certain emotions? Those who don't believe different keys have different emotions say that emotion comes from intervals, which is true. In 12TET, intervals stay the same in any key, so what is it about the pitch that changes the emotion? I know that moving a song to a different key will give it a different feeling (though I wouldn't say "emotion") based on how high or low it is, but do certain keys truly consistently have certain feelings, or is it just how high the melody notes are? Is there a system, like it feeling darker if there's more flats and brighter if there's more sharps or is it simply based on observations made by composers? If you don't have a full answer, go ahead and post your favorite keys and what emotions you think they give.
