The rondelli ("round-songs", = a modern term) are a sort of repetitive refrain-songs that you find in some medieval liturgical manuscripts, but where you find them, there are usually a lot of them. So they are liturgical and were popular, but there is no contemporary account of where or when or how they were used. Perhaps it was for processions, perhaps for dancing in the church, perhaps for extra-liturgical gatherings.
