That actually makes a lot of sense to me. I've always wondered what gives a particular sounds it's emotional power (like minor chords being very sad sounding, for example). I guess it's how we evolved and the reaction we have to the ambient sounds around us.
I wonder if there was some giant beast that ran around belting out major chord sounds we would all associate major chords with fear.
