The BBC News channel recently featured an article on its website describing the results of a recent study into the effects of music on heart beat and blood pressure.
According to the article, the study suggested that music with a faster tempo increases breathing, heart rate and blood pressure while slower music does the opposite.
This seems consistent with common sense - if you are listening to lively, quick music you are likely to feel more animated and for it to be reflected in physiological changes. If you are listening to slower calmer music one would hope it will help you to calm down.
Soft slow gentle music is often used in relaxation tapes and CDs and I guess here is some scientific evidence to support that use.
Perhaps more intriguingly the study also seems to have gone further and suggested that operatic music, which alternates between fast and slow, could be the best for the heart and circulation.
Verdi's arias it seems sychronise perfectly with natural cardiovascular rhythm!
