Actual Definition: A composition in a series of varying sections in slow triple time, typically over a short repeated bass theme

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, this is a fairly technical thing methinks.  

***(Wikipedia looting)*** Evidently: Looks like a baroque style of composition in triple meter (weirdish time signature...) made of variations on harmonic progressions, often over a short repetitive bass line (like @Firejay5 said); in its use of variation it is similar to a Passacaglia, which instead uses variations on (not over) a bass line.  But they also say that last bit is an ambiguous distinction, and is often defined the other way around.
