roulade

In every school of singing the roulade is effected by means of the staccato and legato.

But there is a specific note of individuality, a roulade quite Anatolian in the Frenchman's writings.

With a roulade the brindisi had ceased and the singer as though pleased, not with herself but with the audience, bowed.

The inspector rose and approached the door through which Clementi's roulade was heard.

On another, she was coyly turning her head as she finished a roulade, and seemed to be listening to herself.
