First song made me feel like of.. Somber. Tis a beautiful song though. 

The Auditory Illusions was pretty fascinating! 

Second song kind of makes me feel like I'm in a royal palace or something. 

>There is much evidence (musical and otherwise) to suggest that it was supposed to be a piece of unbridled joy and striving, new discovery, and wonder... Well, I guess a wedding ceremony is supposed to be the same...

Heh. 
Even if it is wedding music, classical music still tends to relax and calm me. There's something about it that is very soothing.

In regards to how I feel about the final song.. It almost has an angelic feeling to it.

Great entry! Thanks for sharing and for teaching me something new!

There has been an unfortunate development in the last century or so to divorce music from speech. Which leads to the idea of perpetual beauty of tone and sound. Unfortunately, endless beauty is meaningless. Things are only beautiful in comparison, so you need contrasts.

Unfortunately, this infection is so deep, that you have difficulty convincing musicians (classical) to make hard or harsh sounds, even when it is apparent that the music requires them to do that. There is an instinctive stepping away from the edge... 

This has led to the idea that classical music is soothing, when in fact it should span the entirety of human emotions, both ugly and angelic.

I think this is mostly umm.. In a more compartmentalized way. The average person has been separated from it, however the powers that shouldn't be are using it a lot to control people through popular entertainment. Music is one of their main forms of mind control. Get a good sounding beat, and then put some trash words in there and you'll have people jamming and feeling good to really unhealthy and even immoral ideology. A classic example of this is the mainstream rap culture of "Kill them and fuck the hoes and do drugs and be a piece of shit' essentially.. But.. Pretty much all different styles of music do this as well. Except you could argue, songs with no lyrics. Though.. Pretty much all major mainstream music in my opinion is designed to sound good, and deliver a segregated form of behavior which the people in power desire the population to possess. 

You may highly disagree with that, but.. I truly believe that. I've done a lot of research into the entertainment aspect of the occult, and the people in power are clearly hiding all kinds of messages in popular music, and not just in the lyrics either. But subliminal and supraliminal as well in music videos and album covers etc etc etc.

>This has led to the idea that classical music is soothing, when in fact it should span the entirety of human emotions, both ugly and angelic.

I used to listen to classical music a lot so I definitely can vibe with this! I've felt all different kinds of emotions from different songs and styles. Which I think is both a good thing and pretty fascinating if you think about it. How certain tones/sounds in different combinations create such response among our brains. Though I'ma stop myself before I rant on forever as I have a bunch of other messages I need to try to get to. Cheers.

Sorry, the part you first quoted was specifically about classical music and not more! But it might have parallel to what you were talking about. The making of classical music into a saleable product has debased many of the things that made it meaningful. Thus the focus meaningless beauty and an emphasis on the visual in an auditory art!

I have to say, the defining of music tastes and musical success by a small group of gatekeepers has been a disaster. Not financially for those in the loop, but for the art firm of music in general. I'm hopeful this wave of decentralisation will go in some part to fixing this abuse of power. 

Although, in not sure I would have enough to support where I think you are going with your conclusions! I prefer to blame the mass impact of many individual greed impulses and preservation of mediocrity above a conspiracy! Perverse incentives.
