TL;DR
It is unclear whether harmonic expectancy violations can trigger emotional processes, as indexed by physiological and subjective measures, but it is likely that they can be triggered.
Abstract
This study is about whether harmonic expectancy violations can trigger emotional processes, as indexed by physiological and subjective measures.

Physiological measures were recorded while listners heard two excerpts chosen to represent each of three emotions: sad, fear, and happy, and found significant differences among the excerpts.

The data suggest that acoustic cues activate the appetitive and defensive motivational circuits underlying emotional expression in ways similar to pictures.

The amplitudes of both early and late negativities were found to be sensitive to the degree of musical expectancy induced by the preceding harmonic context, and to the probability for deviant acoustic events.

It is found that major targets were identified faster, and with fewer errors, when they were related than when unrelated, and an apparent absence (and possible reversal) of this effect for minor targets can be attributed to the prime's biasing effect on the target's stability.
