Abstract

In antiquity, music was regarded as an art closely related to rhetoric and, thus, considered to have specific psychological effects on the audience, intentionally aimed at by its composers. The following contribution focuses on the significance of rhetoric for the Italian theory of music during early modern times. Examples for the relationship between the disciplines of rhetoric and music at that time are selected and analysed.
