Well, I didn't personally propose this co-relation. My teacher did. He said we had to pronounce certain words high-pitched or low-pitched when their pronunciations are prolonged to sound nice and formal. Besides, I disagree with you, pitch (as a part of tone) can be prolongation, or may be inherent within the latter. In this case, I was speaking with regard to macron diacritics.
EDIT: See tone marks.

There's no such thing as happy endings, for when you find true love, happiness is everlasting.
