Music can inform the audience emotionally or manipulate emotions, it can highlight specific moments, it can establish the passage of time, it can misdirect the audience, it can setup thing to come, it can excite, it can establish a sense of time & place (historical era or geographical region), it can establish a sense of space, it can inspire, it can confuse, it can create relationships (using themes or motifs for specific characters or plot points), it can make us laugh and so much more. Whatever it’s function, music brings a psychological & emotional depth than nothing else can match.
