Abstract

This study researched the difference in tension perceived by the viewer according to the degree of delayed cadence by inserting an element of violation of expectations into the progression of music to the cadence. For this, after examining previous studies on the tension and cadence related to the expectation theory, 189 people were surveyed on a 5-point Likert scale for the degree of tension perceived by three sound sources with different degrees of delayed cadence and statistically analyzed using SPSS 24.0. As a result of the study, first, there was a significant difference in the tension perceived by the viewer according to the degree of delayed cadence. The longer the cadence was delayed, the higher the tension perceived by the viewer. Second, there was no significant difference when comparing music majors and non-music majors in the degree of tension perceived by the viewer according to the degree of delayed cadence, but there was a significant difference when comparing the presence or absence of music activity experience. These results suggest that providing music that the degree of delayed cadence point according to the needs of the client during music therapy can be a therapeutic tool, and that music activities can contribute to the sensitive perception development of the client.
