Reddit reviews Handbook of Music and Emotion: Theory, Research, Applications

I can't remember specific studies offhand (not really my specialty), but it's fairly well-accepted that perception of emotion in music is culture-specific. And the things that are cross-cultural generally aren't related to tonality: speed, contour, etc.

Juslin and Sloboda's Handbook of Music and Emotion has everything you'd ever want to know, but I don't have it here and I don't want to get it from the library for a reddit comment...

The field of music and emotion is a very large and complex one. You cannot expect easy answers to your questions. I recommend buying a newer book for this subject, older books and studies often use dowdy reasoning for phenomena which can only recently (in the last 30-40 years) be somehow explained by newer methods of cognitive science and music psychology.

Best pick for you could be Juslin's "Handbook of Music and Emotion".
