A touching video of U of T med students in choral performance of Mary Elizabeth Frye's "Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep at the annual memorial service to honour cadaver donors" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl0nXVtjTPY
Interesting short video on the power of choral singing to synchronize biological rhythms :

(which includes a link to the original scientific article), as well as some interesting previous research along the same lines: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3177845/https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2013/07/09/200390454/when-choirs-sing-many-hearts-beat-as-one
A recent article for your consideration as well:

A favourite video on the power of synchronization/resonance (great metaphor for brain function,the chaos that initially can come with creating anything new, etc. ): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v5eBf2KwF8
