Meanspeed Music measures the precise speed of a piece. The scale which we have used since 1993:

30-54=mixed slow
55-58=melodrama
59-62=sincerity
63-69=ceremony
70-77=grace
77-78=bittersweetness
79-84=loneliness
85-89=renewal
90-97=enthusiasm
98-105=natural
106-113=lust
114-118=foreboding
119-128=victory
129-390=mixed fast,

All numbers represent speed as beats per minute. Each correlative is an emotional expression of the speed of the music rather than the emotional reaction of the listener. For example, just as Sting says, “Happy songs make me miserable,” lonely songs may make Mr. A or Ms. B feel graceful. For more information visit http://meanspeed.com
