Abstract
This paper relates the heart rate variability (HRV) effects from the repeated listening to the same wind band composition by a healthy woman who was educated in music. One woman (aged 31) is invited as the experiment subject, and one piece of wind band music ("Appalachian overture" (composed by J. Barnes)) is employed as the test piece. The subject is asked to listen to the test piece for 2 weeks (one time per a day), and her HRV is recorded. The experimental data is analyzed by FFT, components of low frequency (LF;0.04-0.15Hz) and high frequency (HF; 0.15-0.40Hz) are obtained from the analysis of the HRV power spectrum. The study discovered a linear relationship between the frequency of listening to the test piece and the change of the HF value.
