In general I would say an important aspect of art is communicating emotions. Music is especially good at reproducing the emotions of the composer in the listeners.

When the mind is trying to hide something from itself, it has to be coaxed into opening up, It is a very useful technique in meditation.
Also good for communicating the emotion of the performer too. Sometimes I hear something and feel moved, other times, a different person with the same song or piece might leave me cold.In general I would say an important aspect of art is communicating emotions.

Incidentally I heard some acquantainces performing a traditional song, one I'd never heard before. I was transported during the song. Afterwards, I told the singers, quite truthfully that I'd been moved to tears. The person actually laughed in my face, rather good-naturedly, saying, "But we sang it in Dutch, and you didn't understand a word!". That was a true statement too, but didn't change the way the song affected me. Perhaps it was a heartfelt sincerity in the performers which allowed a connection, irrespective of the language barrier.
