Description

The musical piece was specifically composed by a music therapist, combining instrumental melodies (piano, synthesizer, acoustic guitar, ocean drum, and voice) with natural sounds (waves, birdsong, fire crackling, and rain) at a constant soft dynamic (piano) and slow tempo. The tonal structure was primarily in C major, designed to evoke stability and relaxation. This document has been funded through a research grant from the Spanish Society of Intensive and Coronary Unit Nursing (SEEIUC).
