A round (also called a canon) is a melody which has a repeating harmonic pattern of a fixed length. This pattern is repeated a number of times in the course of the melody. At the end of each pattern, a new performer can start at the beginning of the melody and the portions of the melody will harmonize with each other. As each performer reaches the end of the melody, he starts again at the beginning.

One of the simplest and best-known examples of the form is "Row, row, row your boat", a sixteen-bar canon entirely in the tonic key. A new performer may enter after the first four bars.

What is the best definition of music?

The most basic definition of musical form is how music is structured. But "Form" is a very... very broad subject, and in the study of Music Theory one of the hardest topics. Form separates the "men from the boys" so to speak. Music is very similar to matter with the study of atoms, molecules, particles, etc. Music can be broken down to smaller and smaller elements just as matter can. When you put these elements together you get Musical Form. In order of size: Note- A single pitch Motif- Two Three or Four notes put together in a small "musical idea" EXAMPLE: The first 4 notes of Beethoven's 5th symphony are a motif. Phrase- A group of motifs placed together in one "musical sentence" Period- A group of phrases put together in a larger "musical paragraph" Periods can then be grouped together into Binary or Ternary groups which then make up movements and sections of music. Form is the order of the parts of music. You can analyze several different layers of music and label form for all parts. For Example: A double phrase A three phrase period A repeated parallel period Binary Form Sonata Form Song Form All of the above are examples of Musical Form So the best answer: There really isn't one sole best definition of Form. Depending on how deep into music theory you are the definition is simple or very complex. =]
