That's almost cheating. Songs could easily be chosen for which the 
response is not as obvious.

How about "Foggy Mountain Breakdown"?
Singing monks make some apprehensive, some pensive, some rapturous.
Bach: ominous on organ - regal on harpsichord.

It's easy to make the case in the book when we select from genre-ized 
music which has already been squeezed into categories based on how it 
makes most people feel.
