Music and information

I must admit, I had same thoughts while watching the show, and watching you conduct the orchestra. I turned to my friend next to me commenting how music makes a big difference and adds a meaning or "flavor" to plays, shows, events, occasions.. it adds flavor to life in general. Music is in fact information being decoded by the conductor, to the various musicians during a play, adding meaning to the acts, scenes the audience is watching. It's quiet fascinating. What if the music playing at certain scenes doesn't match what exactly is going on during the scene, the audience would get a different "meaning" of it and would interpret it differently, leading to a misunderstanding of what actually is going on. This applies to real life, what if information we are given, and told is not correct, or misleading, how would our lives be different?
