He asked music lovers to identify passages of songs that reliably set off a physical reaction, such as tears or goose bumps. Participants identified 20 tear-triggering passages, and when Dr. Sloboda analyzed their properties, a trend emerged: 18 contained a musical device called an “appoggiatura.”</em></p> <p><em>An appoggiatura is a type of ornamental note that clashes with the melody just enough to create a dissonant sound. “This generates tension in the listener,” said Martin Guhn, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia who co-wrote a 2007 study on the subject. “When the notes return to the anticipated melody, the tension resolves, and it feels good.”</em></p> <p><em>Chills often descend on listeners at these moments of resolution. When several appoggiaturas occur next to each other in a melody, it generates a cycle of tension and release. This provokes an even stronger reaction, and that is when the tears start to flow.</em></p> </blockquote> <p>There’s just about the most detailed scientific analysis of a Grammy-winning song ever <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203646004577213010291701378.html" target="_blank">at the link</a>.</p> <p><em>(via <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203646004577213010291701378.html" target="_blank">WSJ.com</a>)</em></p> </blockquote> <p>ok this might be my last adele post for awhile.
