“Rondo” is a certain form of the musical piece, where the principal theme is repeated several times. A few episodes take turns, but it comes to the basis again and again. “Rondo” is a “round”. The most natural of all forms. No beginning and no ending. Just a constant movement – from sunrise to sunset, from birth to re-birth… Love is what brings sense to this round. It transforms existence into an art, life – info the way to the light. -- Solomia is a Ukrainian singer-songwriter and poet, who composes both lyrics and music for her songs.
