Group singing can create a rewarding feeling of oneness. Swedish researchers 
monitored the heart rates of 15 choral singers as they hummed, sang, and 
chanted. The singers? pulses increased and decreased together as the music?s 
tempo changed, and their heartbeats aligned when the songs required them to 
breathe in unison. ?You are synchronizing with other people, and harmonizing 
your hearts,? says study author Bj?rn Vickhoff. That could explain why singing 
together strengthens solidarity in groups from football fans to work crews. The 
controlled breathing that singing demands also seems to have a calming 
influence, achieving ?the same effect as breathing exercises in yoga.?
