Mood of music is one of the most intuitive criteria for listeners, thus it is used in automated systems for organizing music. This study is based on the emotional content of music and its automatic recognition and contains outcomes of a series of experiments related to building models and description of emotions in music. One-hundred-fifty-four excerpts from 10 music genres were evaluated in the listening experiments using a graphical model proposed by the authors, dedicated to the subjective evaluation of mood of music. The proposed model of mood of music was created in a Max MSP environment. Automatic mood recognition employing SOM and ANN was carried out and both methods returned results coherent with subjective evaluation.
