Descrizione: This chapter examines the relationship between music and rhetoric by focusing on the voice of the orator. A brief introduction presents Quintilian's distinction of the three formal patterns that rhetoric and music share, namely rhythm, melody, and bodily movement. The chapter deals with musical aspects of the orator's performance, in particular the modulation of his voice and the Latin terminology for these phenomena, and with comparisons between voice and musical instruments. The final section focuses on the performance of Gaius Gracchus, who is said to have relied on a pipe player for supporting modulations of his voice [Author]
