There used to be a very good page on the phenomenon, but it's long gone and there's not even any history of it existing that I'm aware of. Now, because it's gone, most pages that document frisson are now calling it "cold chills" and referring back to WP.
Edits appreciated.

An experience, commonly associated with especially moving or Ecstatic_listening moments, where a sensation of "shivers" occurs. The frisson experience begins as a flexing of the skin in the lower back, rising upward, inward from the shoulders, up the neck, and sometimes across to the cheeks and onto the scalp. The face may become flush, hair follicles flex the hairs into standing position, and goose bumps may appear (Piloerection). Frequently, a series of `waves' will rise up the back in rapid succession. The experience lasts no more than four or five seconds. The listener feels the music to have elicited an ecstatic moment and tends to regard the experience as involuntary.
