Best Answer

You are asking about form in music. One of the many classic structures of poetry and song is verse with refrain. In a song the refrain, the part that is repeated after each verse, is called the chorus. Hence the verse is often sung by a soloist and the chorus by a group. A poem or song can have many verses, but the refrain or chorus is the same. In the Broadway musical of the era 1920 to 1960, it was common for a single verse to lead into the chorus, and that was it. The solo verse was soon forgotten and the chorus became the song that everyone knew. That may be why you are not familiar with the idea of a vese in a song.
