Rosalia  A rosalia in which the first two bars are repeated a whole tone higher. | In music, the usual name for the real sequence: repeating a phrase higher or lower, not within the scale of the same key, as in the tonal sequence, but by so changing the key that its steps retain exactly the same succession of whole tones and semitones. The name derives from an Italian popular song, ‘Rosalia, mia cara’, in which this device occurs. |
