There are lots of music pieces which make neither my brain nor myself happy, on the contrary, they make either my brain and myself angry. OK, maybe those acoustic events aren't music at all.
There are some music pieces which have an effect like drugs on me. But it's only one that uses to influence my inner life positively without fail, even when I am totally down: Beethoven's violin concerto.

BTW: Forget the chocolate fairy-tale. You'd have to eat tons of chocolate to noticeably activate your brain's happiness hormones.

I agree, music does not blanketly make your brain happy. Music effects your mood in as many ways as you have feelings. Not only can it give you intense emotional sensation, sometimes a song will seem to implant an actual image in your head. The more in tune with music you get, the more complex the emotions and images, and the more you learn and grow from the experiencing.

The problem with this study is that science explores concepts slower than the human mind does, so the scientific establishment operates on incomplete principles long enough to frustrate people who "just know" there's more to it.

Okay, thisnamecantbetaken. Since you've added quotations on music, let me join you:
When Orpheus [the son of Apollo and the muse Calliope] heard the sirens, he drew his lyre and played music more beautiful than theirs, drowning out their deadly yet alluring song.
Orpheus - Wikipedia
And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
1 Samuel 16:23

funny enough there was a woman on the radio today talking about the benefits of the harmony of harp music
for animals and humans,seemingly the harp plays very harmonious notes which have a physiological effect
she was american although I don't remember much else bout it
