Abstract
The notion that “music is a universal language” is common, but its meaning is deeper than we often realize. Tone, pitch, intensity, inflection, pauses and other aspects of the spoken voice are musical components of language that convey meaning. Meaning varies depending upon culture, environment, language and other factors, all of which influence voice. Similarly, voice influences the development and transitions of cultures.
