You can't use music to convey emotion. You can use music to illicit emotion. If someone asks you if you are happy or sad do you grab your phone and put on Moonlight Sonata to convey your current emotional state? -

There is no point to anything. No objective meaning or purpose. Do whatever you want. -

That's pretty obvious. But you don't know, for example, if this is real or a dream or if the person you're talking to has a consciousness like you or really anything at all.
In your scenario, if I responded to you saying I didn't see any grass, how would you know what the truth is?

I think you mean elicit.
And yea you can use music to convey emotion.Convey
verb (used with object)
1.
to carry, bring, or take from one place to another; transport; bear.
2.
to communicate; impart; make known:
to convey a wish.
Definition number 2. Music most definitely can definitely communicate emotion. That's pretty much the whole point of it. -
