Award-winning composer Yuval Ron’s new work “Heal me @ 40Hz”, a song cycle for acapella mixed choir for brain health, is the first choral work at 40Hz tuning ever to be composed, recorded and performed. Yuval’s new work composed to Hebrew lyrics from Biblical healing prayers, was given its world premiere on January 18, 2024, with a soulful and tender performance by the BYU Singers, under the direction of conductor Dr Andrew Crane. 40hz tuning refers to a musical tuning at A= 427.15 Hz which yields E1 to be exactly at 40hz, the healing frequency required for 40Hz sound therapy. Based on scientific research at MIT, Stanford and other highly respected research centers., 40Hz sound therapy has been shown to improve cognitive function and reduce symptoms of chronic pain, depression, and anxiety.  Some studies have shown a positive impact on focus and concentration, and even on sleep, if the 40Hz sound is utilized 3 hours before sleep.


This album contains 9 musical pieces, each approximately 5 minutes in length. The music tracks on this album include

  • 3 tracks of Choral only mixes (without added 40Hz tones)
  • 3 tracks of 40Hz mixes with the 40Hz tone played by string bass section tuned at 40Hz
  • 3 tracks of Brain Entrainment mix with Binaural Beats yielding 40Hz tone in the listener’s brain. To achieve the binaural effect, the listener must utilize headphones.

REVIEWS

"In May of this year I suffered two severe concussions. It has been hard to get back from that neurologically. Sometimes my system was so overstimulated that simply being or lying down was hard. Your 40 hz music albums was the only thing calming my nervous system down enough to fall asleep and be well enough to get up the next day. An immense thank you for those!"

In gratitude,
Inge A.

“Truly beautiful and healing music!”
– Jeffrey Bernstein, Director, Pasadena Master Chorale

“Magnificent music”
– Ben Leinbach, record producer

“It was great to see how the audience reacted. I could see their faces light up when we sang. The main takeaway I had during this experience is that there are so many different aspects of music and it can be used in so many different ways. It was meaningful to be a part of a project that was meant to heal people.”
- Blake Wayment, BYU Singers

Our recommendation for the best listening experience

We recommend wired headphones for the optimal experience. Some albums contain low frequencies, so a set with full-range frequency response is recommended. Wired speakers can also provide a good experience when headphones are inconvenient. We do not recommend bluetooth headphones or speakers because they use data compression during their transmission (like streaming audio) which can dilute the original sound vibration of the music.

Our Binaural beats albums benefit most from using wired headphones as there are tones which differ between the left and right side. Your ears will be able hear those tones isolated in order to create the binaural effect.
