Abstract In ancient Greece, the possible modes of performance of a poetic text were three: speaking or reciting, ‘recitative’, and singing. In song, the word-music relationship arises as an adaptation of the rhythmic pattern of singing to the metrical structure of the verbal chain, but a gap between the verbal text and the music gradually emerges. The other aspect concerning the musical performance of a text is the relationship between word accent and melodic intonation.
