The Hidden Benefits of Classical Music

Posted: Nov 20, 2009 |Comments: 1 | Views: 1,355 |

Classical Music is not as popular today as it used to be. It has been around for hundreds of years and it is the oldest type of music out there. There are different types of classical music such as Medieval, Romantic and contemporary classical. Many people who listen to classical music have a deep appreciation for the music and the composer. They do not know why they are mesmorized by the sounds and how it makes them feel. Classical music is very complex in nature. It does not have just one or two chords throughout the whole score. Classical music consists of many instruments or one instrument in a song. It takes on various sounds and feelings. It is not just soft sounding as many people think; many compositions are complex, dark and mysterious.

Many people often think of listening to classical music in a restaurant with a bottle of wine and in the company of friends and or family or that it is just for high-society people. But there are some to enjoy listening to it most when they are alone. Classical music is played a lot on public radio stations and there are also places on the internet where you can listen to it as well. There are many composers with CD's that you can buy from a retail store. Do not forget about the wonderful orchestra concerts out there too! Not many people will appreciate classical music when they first hear it, and sometimes it is because listening to classical music is not what they are used to listening to. If you take the time to learn about classical music, what it is about, how it is written and why, you will grow a deeper feeling and appreciation for this type of music.

Classical music can also reduce stress and blood pressure. It is compiled of high-frequency sounds and it is said by some studies that these sounds re-energize the cortex of the brain and it stimulates health. Most popular music today operate on low-frequency sounds. These low-frequencies give you the opposite effect and make you feel down. Classical music is also extremely beneficial for pregnant women. Studies have shown that playing classical music for your unborn child has great benefits to him or her. While a child is in the womb, they hear a variety of sounds with many different rhythms. When outside of the womb, there have been reports of people who have remembered hearing that music, but they do not just hear it. It is said that they are able to understand the music as well.

No matter what type of music you listen to now on any FM radio stations, whether it is pop, rock or rap, chances of that music staying the same and being around for the next couple hundred years are very slim. That music is always changing; but at that time, you will still be able to hear the beautiful sounds of an orchestra or a single instrument playing new or timeless classics.

    Classical composers were not consciously composing "classical" music. That label came after the fact and often attaches a detrimental stigma to the greatest works of all time. At the time of their composing, they were standing on the bow of the ship of music as it headed for the deep, dark, mysterious waters of the unknown possibilities of human experience...

    Not that I disagree with your article, but how is classical music "the oldest type of music out there?" People existed for thousands of years before the invention of the instruments necessary to play what we consider classical music. Are you saying that these people simply did without music? What about the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans? The greastest civilizations every formed certainly had music.
