In Western musical theory a cadence (Latin cadentia, "a falling") is a particular series of intervals or chords that ends a phrase, section, or piece of music.

The plagal or church cadence replaces the dominant, or dominant 7th chord, with a subdominant chord, that is a chord on the 4th.
The plagal cadence is usually defined as one whose penult is IV and whose final is I (or whose penult is iv and whose final is i).
The plagal cadence is frequently used after a perfect cadence, because it is not as tonally decisive as the perfect cadence.

 What is a Landini cadence?
The Landini cadence, named after the great Italian composer and organist Francesco Landini (1325-1397) but more generally pervasive in the music of the 14th and earlier 15th centuries, might be described in its most characteristic form as a variation on the harmonic progression in which an unstable sixth (usually major) expands to a stable octave.
From this perspective, the cadence derives its charm both from the melodic ornament of the descending step followed by the ascending third in the upper voice, and from the momentary harmonic diversion of the fifth coming between the sixth and its expected expansion to the octave.
Variations of the Landini cadence may be traced back to at least the 13th century, and it continues to play a vital role in the music of the early Renaissance (1420-1500).
