1. rondeau

   A rondeau is a form of verse used mainly in French poetry. It is characterized by the repeating lines or refrains at regular intervals, typically in a 15-line, 13-line or 10-line arrangement. The repetition often contributes to the song-like quality of this poetic form. The structure can vary in terms of syllable count and rhyme scheme, and it's often composed on two rhymes.

1. Rondeau

   A rondeau is a form of medieval and Renaissance French poetry, as well as the corresponding musical chanson form. Together with the ballade and the virelai it was considered one of the three formes fixes, and one of the verse forms in France most commonly set to music between the late 13th and the 15th centuries. It is structured around a fixed pattern of repetition of material involving a refrain. The rondeau is believed to have originated in dance songs involving alternating singing of the refrain elements by a group and of the other lines by a soloist. The term "Rondeau" is today used both in a wider sense, covering several older variants of the form – which are sometimes distinguished as the triolet and rondel – and in a narrower sense referring to a 15-line variant which developed from these forms in the 15th and 16th centuries. The rondeau is unrelated with the much later instrumental dance form that shares the same name in French baroque music, which is an instance of what is more commonly called the rondo form in classical music.
