Why do we like the music that we like? This seemingly simple question is surprisingly understudied. This dissertation aims to give some answers to this question, with a focus on analyzing the dataset of the FAV Corpus, a collection of pieces and excerpts that 140 survey participants gave as their favorite musical moments. Following a review of the literature on music preference, the study presents two hypotheses that pertain to the excerpts in the FAV Corpus. Both hypotheses are grounded in existing theory, and justified from multiple viewpoints, ranging from psychology, to evolutionary biology, to anecdotes by music scholars in diverse genres. The first hypothesis (the "C-S hypothesis") predicts that the excerpts in the corpus will tend to be moments of decreased complexity. The second hypothesis (the "Returns hypothesis") predicts that the excerpts will tend to be formal returns as well.The C-S hypothesis is tested using an "AB/BC" paradigm with expert judges rating the perceived complexity of each stimulus. The result is that, surprisingly, participants' favorite excerpts in the corpus were moments of increased complexity; this result holds stable regardless of level of training. The Returns hypothesis is tested via an "XYZ" paradigm with expert assignment of formal section labels to each piece. Participants' favorite excerpts did not tend to be returns at a rate greater than chance; however, it was found that excerpt beginning times tend to align more closely with formal section beginnings than do randomly generated excerpts, suggesting that form is somewhat determinative in excerpt choices.Analysis of the composers and genres in the FAV Corpus also reveals interesting information about the historical and stylistic tendencies of people's favorite music, as do analyses of subjective participant comments. Finally, the study presents future possibilities, including potential directions in the spaces of machine learning and music information retrieval.
