Can Listening to Opera Lower Blood Pressure?
June 25th, 2009 by admin
Dr Luciano Bernardi and colleagues, from Italy’s Pavia University, conducted a study on 24 healthy people asking them to listen to five random songs of classical music. They monitored how their bodies responded. Some tracks included Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, an aria from Puccini’s Turandot, and Bach’s cantata No 169. The researchers found that the songs that were rich in emphasis and that alternated between fast and slow seemed to be best for the circulation and the heart. Opera has this musical dynamic and is being used as rehabilitative medicine.
