< A Dictionary of Music and Musicians
RONDEAU. The French name for a short poem of six or eight lines, containing but two rhymes, and so contrived that the opening and closing lines were identical, thus forming as it were a circle or round. The name has come to be used in music for a movement constructed on a somewhat corresponding plan. [See Rondo.]
