In classical rhetoric, a peroration was the final part of a speech. It was one of the four or five traditional components in the ordo of a speech.
The peroration had two main purposes: to remind the audience of the main points of the speech (recapitulatio) and to influence their emotions (affectus). The role of the peroration was defined by Greek writers on rhetoric, who called it epilogos; but it is most often associated with Roman orators, who made frequent use of emotional appeals. A famous example was the speech of Marcus Antonius Orator in defence of Aquillius, during which Antonius tore open the tunic of Aquillius to reveal his battle scars.[1]
In the first century B.C. it was common for two or more speakers to appear on each side in major court cases. In such cases it was considered a mark of honour to be asked to deliver the peroration.[2]

Last, and strangest, is the woman with the shopping cart. As the speaker delivers his peroration, a middle-aged woman approaches from behind, pulling her cart, passing him, and carrying on by. She either does not notice what is happening, or prefers ...

There's no mighty peroration; Sibelius's storm dying away as suddenly as it flared up. Pohloja's Daughter is another rare treat, a narrative work, more romantic in outline and full of typically Sibelian fingerprints. It receives another belter of a ...

The answer, I think, lies in the earlier portions of Witt's two paragraph peroration. The truly suspect position is not that of participant in this kind of event – indeed, if you read Witt's essay, you'll see that the participants, including those in ...

We can be quite precise about this distinction. That wonderful composer Richard Strauss, appointed by Josef Goebbels to the presidency of the Reichsmusikkammer in 1933, wrote a song in gratitude. It ends with the peroration: “He, I believe, will be my ...
