Resumen

Why does music move us? What harmonic resources manage to cause a greater pleasant experience in listeners? The aestheticity of music lies in the repetition of forms, in the recognition of patterns. Composers take advantage of that predictability to play with listeners' expectations. Mastering the technique to cause sweating and piloerection in response to a musical stimulus is of great interest to creatives. Based on the publications of the musical theorist Frank Lehman, specialized in the harmony of the soundtracks of epic millennial cinema, this article analyzes some harmonic cadences present in different audiovisual formats to agree that it is in the violation of expectations through chromatisms and after their subsequent diatonic realignment where the astonishment of the spectators occurs. This research connects classical aesthetics with the psychology of music.
