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.” HuffPost Live host discusses King’s vision for race relations VIRGINIA LOZANO/Daily TOP: Engineering sophomore Chloe Henderson and LSA sophomore Adelia Davis lead the Circle of Unity, a series of performances and speakers in honor of Martin Luther King Jr., Monday in the Diag.
