Would it be possible to generate a mood, using the descriptive writing in the novel, that is so atmospheric and individual that it can rival the mood generated by music?
How much of an experience someone has had looking at a view can be transferred into a novel?

Nope. Literature works on the cognitive level, which is a more sophisticated but less immediate cerebral function than emotion.
Not denying that literature can induce rapture, but music will get you there quicker. It's direct emotional stimulation.
Also, if you like Harmonia, check out Cluster.

Even if you attempt to generate your mood, people will not always feel the same way.

Certainly. It's just that compared to Music, it is a direct connection to a sensory node (your ears). Writing requires more processing to fully enjoy as easily as a movie or music. You have to cook your own food whereas something that appeals simply to once auditory senses is equivalent to driving-thru and ordering what you want.
