Objective: To know the music perception of patients in the preoperative period. M: this is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study carried out in a hospital located in the Triângulo Mineiro region with 12 patients hospitalized, using a semi-structured interview as technique. Results: based on thematic content analysis and help of the Iramute Q software, two thematic units were constructed, entitled: Mediated Relation - music as a therapeutic element and Music and the transcendental dimension. They were subdivided into classes; the sub-corpus “Mediated relation: music as a therapeutic element” was composed by Class 1 (Music as a reconnection with home); Class 4 (Music and its positive influence on the altered emotional state); Class 2 (Resignification of hospital care), and Class 3 (Joy in the hospital environment). The sub-corpus “Music and the transcendental dimension” consisted of the Class 5 (Strengthening). Conclusion: music constitutes a communication resource, a mediating element that favors dialogue and that promotes the humanization of health care.
