Cadence has come to mean "the rhythm of sounds" from its root cadere which means "to fall." Originally designating falling tones especially at the end of lines of music or poetry, cadence broadened to mean the rhythms of the tones and sometimes even the rhythm of sounds in general.

The Melody and Harmony comprise the music of the song - the Lyrics are the words. But the Rhythm or Cadence is where the beat of the music meets the rhythm or flow of language sounds.

This cadence occurs when a piece of music is written in a minor key, and then ends on a major tonic chord instead of minor. For example, if a song were written in A minor and played as seven chords, it would look like this: A minor, F Major, D minor, A minor, C Major, E minor and then ending in A Major.

Perhaps the most straightforward example of cadence is to notice how voice inflection changes when asking a question. In English, questions usually end with vocal inflections going up and this signifies to a listener that a question has been fully asked and they may now respond.

There are 4 cadences - Perfect (or Authentic), Plagal, Imperfect (or Half) and Interrupted (or Deceptive) which can sound "finished" or "unfinished". The perfect cadence is also known as the authentic cadence. It is a progression from chord V to chord I.

The perfect cadence is also known as the authentic cadence. It is a progression from chord V to chord I. For example, in C major the progression would be from a G chord to a C chord. The plagal cadence is from chord IV to chord I - in C major this would be an F chord followed by a C chord.

You can think of a cadence as musical punctuation. If melodies, chord progressions, and rhythm help build a sentence in a song, the cadence creates the "period" or "exclamation mark". Cadences were particularly important in classical composition, but they can be found throughout all genres of music, even today.

We just have a movement from chord four to chord one. So with our Roman numerals. This is called four. And we move to chord one. And that gives us a slightly. Different sound it's a slightly. Less.
