The musical term Rondo (or French "Rondeau") is used in
two separate manners; firstly in reference to a
particular musical form, and secondly to to a
character-type or style of music.
1. Form:
The predecessor to the Rondo was the "ritornello", this
word was derived from the Italian word meaning "to
return" - this is in reference to the main theme which
is "returned to'' once or more times. A typical
ritornello pattern might be ABACABA, where the 'A'
refers to the recurring theme.
2. Character-type:
The character of rondos is generally fast, fun and
vivacious. The music is often inspired by folk and
popular music, and the mood is often similar to that of
dance music.
