The Uraeus (/jÊËriÉs/; plural Uraei or Uraeuses; from the Greek Î¿á½ÏÎ±á¿Î¿Ï, ouraÃ®os, on its tail; from Egyptian jÊ¿r.t (iaret), rearing cobra) is the stylized, upright form of an Egyptian cobra (asp, serpent, or snake), used as a symbol of sovereignty, royalty, deity and divine authority in ancient Egypt.
ronâ¢do. 1. a musical form in which a refrain recurs typically four times in the tonic with intervening couplets in contrasting keys. 2. a movement in the form of a rondo.
When a composer chooses to compose a piece using a particular form, this helps him/her organize the music so listeners can have a good balance of music they recognize mixed with music they haven't heard before. Rondo form is a piece of music where the musical material stated at the beginning of the piece keeps returning. This opening music can be called either the theme or the refrain; they are the same thing.
