Reply to comment by mrnoonan81 in Happy rather than sad music soothes newborns — findings suggest that newborns do react to emotions in music, and that responses to music are present at birth by marketrent
That’s what I was thinking. I thought traditionally in Russian and Eastern European music, minor chords did not have the ‘sad’ connotation they have in the West. I thought it was learned… unless they’re maybe talking about tone of singing voice or something like that

This is part of ongoing research. Some studies have demonstrated it is learned while this study demonstrates that something innate may be at play.
