Abstract Mozart’s music has been suggested to affect spatio-temporal reasoning of listeners, which has been called “Mozart effect”. However, the effects of Mazart’s music on human metabolism have not been known. We dissected Mozart’s music into its compositional elements and studied their effects on metabolism of experimental animals. Mozart music significantly reduced cortisol level induced by stress. NMR metabolomic study revealed different urine metabolic profile according to the listening to Mozart’s music. In addition, each element of music exhibited different metabolic profile. Functional MRI study also showed enhanced brain activity upon listening to Mozart’s music. Taken together, Mozart’s music seems to be related with brain activity, stress hormone and whole body metabolism.
