Research shows
composer’s cardiac
arrhythmia mirrors
tempo, key changes
BY MAYA SHANKAR
Daily Staff Reporter
Fans of Ludwig van Beethoven
may find his compositions heart-
felt, but their sentiments may be
more accurate than they realize.
An essay published in Perspec-
tives in Biology and Medicine by
Musicology Prof. Steven M. Whit-
ing; Dr. Joel Howell, professor of
history of medicine and Dr. Zach-
ary D. Goldberger, cardiologist
at the University of Washington
School of Medicine, suggests that
Beethoven’s music may have been
influenced by his own heartbeat.
The
essay
examines
the
unusual rhythms found in some
of
Beethoven’s
most
famous
compositions — such as sudden
key changes or tempo changes
— and speculates these irregular
rhythms may mimic the arrhyth-
mic rhythms of Beethoven’s own
heart.
Whiting said the idea for the
essay emerged out of interdisci-
plinary curiosity.
“It started because of two
musically-inclined doctors and a
musically-inclined musicologist
who wondered together whether
this visceral connection to his
own heartbeat might add yet
another dimension to Beethoven’s
music,” he said.
The group studied the rhyth-
mic patterns of several composi-
tions of Beethoven, focusing in
particular on passages that were
both emotionally stimulating and
rhythmically irregular.
These
irregularities
were
striking, the authors wrote.
Whiting said they compared
electrocardiograms,
which
measure electrical activity of
the heart, with the music. They
concluded that Beethoven’s own
cardiac arrhythmia, a condition
that causes the heart to beat with
an irregular rhythm, may have
influenced some of the rhythms.
Beethoven has been linked
with a host of other health
problems as well, such as liver
disease, kidney disease and deaf-
ness.
His deafness, the authors
wrote in the essay, could have
also contributed to a heightened
sense of awareness of his own
heartbeat.
“If you were to sit in silence for
a while, you would become more
aware of your heartbeat,” How-
ell said. “Beethoven’s world was
silent.”
One of the passages studied,
“Cavatina,” is a movement in
Beethoven’s String Quartet in
B-flat Major, Opus 130. It is the
slow movement in the quartet
and has been long recognized as
exhibiting overwhelming emo-
tional force. In the passage, the
lower strings throb slow repeat-
ing notes, while the first violin is
rhythmically unhinged from the
lower voices.
“The passage is almost too
distraught to align with them
rhythmically,” Whiting said.
The emotion in the passage is
deliberate. In fact, in the com-
poser direction written for this
passage is the word “beklemmt,”
a German word that could be
taken to mean “heavy of heart.”
The phrase “heavy of heart” may
not only refer to a psychologi-
cal emotion, the authors wrote.
It could also be referring to the
pressure felt on the heart that is
associated with cardiac arrhyth-
mia.
“We talk about music being
heartfelt, and it is interesting
because in some cases, music
might be literally heartfelt,”
Howell said. “Music might liter-
ally reflect how your heart feels.
Your heart beats continuously
your entire life. That’s pretty
amazing. You’re intimately relat-
ed to your heartbeat, so it’s not
surprising that it might make its
way into great artists’ works.”
‘U’ professors say Beethoven’s
heartbeat influenced his music
Keynote speaker
encourages
listening, unity in
today’s society
BY LEA GIOTTO
Daily Staff Reporter
Kicking
off
the
Martin
Luther King Jr. Symposium,
Marc Lamont Hill, host of
HuffPost Live and BET News,
delivered a keynote lecture
to a full Hill Auditorium on
Monday morning.
Hill spoke on King’s life
and legacy in the context of
current social conditions in
the United States.
“Today, January 2015, pres-
ents a particularly interest-
ing and compelling moment
to think through: Dr. Martin
Luther King’s life and legacy
at a moment when his life
and legacy has been hijacked
by all sides, at a time where
he has been transformed or
reduced into a sort of revo-
lutionary
or
multicultural
action figure,” Hill said.
Hill described the present
time in history as particular-
ly interesting and compelling
when the legacy of King is
compared to that of President
Barack Obama.
“War has become an instru-
ment of foreign policy, rather
than a last resort — this isn’t
a motivational speech, clear-
ly. But this is our reality as
we enter this moment. What
would King say about this?”
Hill said King’s idea of rad-
ical listening, a practice Hill
sees as absent from a cur-
rent age defined by “preoc-
cupation with the self,” could
“usher in a new possibility of
justice.”
“The legacy of King would
say we need to listen to more
people, we need to listen for
poor people,” he said. “We
can’t just be compassionate by
proxy — poor people need to
be at the table.”
Hill said the U.S. is also
missing a sense of unity and
is inhibited by a lack of con-
versation surrounding issues
important to others, but not
necessarily a priority to our-
selves. For example, Hill said
people may be more concerned
with educational reform com-
pared to prison reform, since
the former is an issue poten-
tially more relevant to them.
Though King would not
have argued for unanimity or
for everyone to work togeth-
er, Hill said King would have
wanted everyone to take the
first step of listening to one
another.
To fully understand King’s
desire for listening, Hill said,
Americans must reconstruct
conceptions of history.
“We remember King as the
father of democracy and mod-
ern democracy, the patriarch
of the Civil Rights Movement,
the
leader
of
empowered
struggle … But the truth is
Dr. King dies an enemy of
the state. April 4th, 1968,
People Magazine denies Dr.
King’s entrance on its ‘Most
Admired Americans’ list; the
National Baptism Convention
kicks King out,” he said.
Hill said recognizing this
idea is critical for helping
people realize what King sac-
rificed when he committed
his life to “dangerous truth-
telling.”
The latter part of the Hill’s
speech covered points that
relate closely to the recent
controversial deaths of Black
citizens, such as Trayvon
Martin,
Eric
Garner
and
Tamir Rice.
“We’ve been reenacting the
same ritual of Black people
being killed for being young,
Black and outside,” he said.
“Instead of talking about driv-
ing while Black all the time,
maybe we can talk about
patrolling while racist.”
To prevent history from
repeating
itself,
Hill
said
Americans need a greater
sense of unity at the commu-
nity level.
“To create a community
that includes all of us, we need
values of inclusion,” he said.
“That means restorative jus-
tice must trump contributive
justice. Justice doesn’t mean
punishment.”
To conclude his lecture, Hill
emphasized that for change
to occur, citizens must make
a plan and follow through by
taking action.
“Dr. King said we must have
an analysis, but we can’t suc-
cumb to, as Dr. King put it,
the paralysis of analysis …
What does that look like? It
means we must act bravely.
No one modeled brave action
more than Martin King,” he
said.
The crowd gave Hill a
standing ovation at the con-
clusion of his speech.
In an e-mail interview with
The Michigan Daily, Pub-
lic Policy junior Julie Sarne
said Hill’s lecture inspired
students to move beyond the
classroom and take action.
“As students at the Uni-
versity of Michigan, we learn
about sweeping societal injus-
tices in the past and present —
yet so often, we stop there. Dr.
Hill delivered a call to action,
an imperative for us to ‘act
bravely,’ ” Sarne said.
“After all, Dr. King’s lega-
cy demonstrates that ‘to act
bravely is to work in the ser-
vice of justice.’ ”
Rackham student Courtney
McCluney, president of the
Students of Color of Rackham,
also wrote in an e-mail inter-
view that Hill’s call to action
resonated with her.
“Instead
of
glamorizing
the positive messages of Dr.
King’s life, (Hill) encour-
aged us to realize that to take
action means that not every-
one will agree with you, that
you have to sometimes go
against the norm, and that you
must become a radical listener
for change to occur.”
Ndaba Mandela explores
African equality, future
Grandson of Nelson
Mandela calls for
student empowerment
through African
heritage
BY GENEVIEVE HUMMER
Daily Staff Reporter
Ndbaba Mandela spoke to more
than 500 students, faculty and com-
munity members Monday, detail-
ing his upbringing, problems that
plague Africa today and the work he
is doing to combat them.
Mandela, the grandson of the
late South African President Nelson
Mandela, was the keynote speaker
for the 2015 William K. McInally
Memorial Lecture, sponsored by
the Ross School of Business and the
Office of Academic Multicultural
Initiatives, and held in the Blau
Auditorium at the Business School.
He
referenced
Martin
Luther
King, Jr. several times, beginning
and ending his lecture with excerpts
from King’s famous “I Have a
Dream” speech.
Mandela
championed
progress
and social equality throughout his
lecture, emphasizing the struggle of
the African people.
“The American Dream is pervad-
ing every part of society across the
world but we, as Africans, do not
want the American Dream, we want
the African Dream,” Mandela said.
He said his experiences abroad
motivated him to form his own non-
governmental organization, Africa
Rising, to spread awareness about
African culture and society.
“We see ourselves creating a new
breed of young Africans that will
empower themselves to develop the
continent from within, raising the
pride and the confidence of young
Africans,” he said. “So that when
they travel, when they engage with
travelers that have come to visit us,
that they will talk about Africa with
a certain pride and confidence.”
Africa Rising strives to educate
and empower young Africans, con-
tribute to the development of Africa
and spread awareness to those out-
side the continent.
The organization is currently
working to develop a resource center
in the small village where Mandela’s
grandfather was raised. The center,
which plans to house a library and
technology center, is slated to edu-
cate African children so that they
can compete on a global scale.
Mandela said the biggest obstacle
South Africa faces is its lack of qual-
ity and accessible education.
“The primary barrier that we have
in South Africa, and probably across
the continent is skills and training,”
he said. “We do not have the skills
nor the information to service our
people, hence we are always work-
ing with Europe, with China, etcet-
era, to get people with skills to come
in to service our people.”
Mandela branched beyond Afri-
ca’s internal struggles and acknowl-
edged that the fight for racial and
economic equality across the world
is far from over. He called on stu-
dents to recognize the sacrifice
needed to create social change.
“Some of us have to take pub-
lic positions, we have to sacrifice,
guys,” he said. “That is why we
talk about these leaders because
they sacrificed everything, includ-
ing their own families. “My grand-
father Nelson Mandela sacrificed
his own family to become the man
that he became and he will tell you,
‘If I was put in the same position I
wouldn’t change anything, I would
do it again.’ ”
LSA freshman Taylor Rick was
drawn to Mandela’s platform, “The
Power of One,” and felt a desire to
learn more about Africa.
“People don’t know enough about
the problems in Africa so that’s
why I came. I’m just not informed,”
Rick said. “It has opened my eyes to
what I need to do and what I need
to learn.”
