Abstract
A lot has been said about the relation between Music and Emotion. Many scholars have tried to state and explain the emotional impact of music on its listeners. Yaredawi Zema , believedto be both ancient and sacred, stands out from other music types of our time both in itsorigination and application. This study collected a survey of the listeners’ accounts regardingtheir emotional experiences that arise from listening to Yaredawi Zema . Emotional experiences collected from listeners are listed, grouped and analysed both to explain what emotions specifically Yaredawi Zema induces on its listeners and what factors govern the emotional experiences of the listeners. This thesis examined independent personal feedback of listeners so that there will be a solid ground for keeping their original and most honest emotional experiences.
