RONDEAU,'DO, n. 1. A kind of poetry, commonly consisting of thirteen verses, of which eight have one rhyme, and five another.

In music, the rondo, vocal or instrumental, generally consists of three strains, the first of which closes in the original key, while each of the others is so constructed in modulation as to reconduct the ear in an easy and natural manner to the first strain.3. A kind of jig or lively tune that ends with the first strain repeated. |
