	Cadence (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It should be noted that while cadences are usually classified by specific chord or melodic progressions, the use of such a progression does not necessarily constitute a cadence — there must be a sense of closure, as at the end of a phrase.
		Perfect authentic cadence: The chords are in root position; that is, the roots of both chords are in the bass, and the root of the final chord is in the highest voice; this is generally the strongest type of cadence
		Imperfect authentic cadence: One or both of the chords are inverted (i.e.

	Cadences
		A cadence is combination of a certain strong harmonic progressions with a resolution to a strong beat that ends a phrase.
		This cadence is not nearly as conclusive, or final, as an authentic cadence, and is never used to end a tonal work.
		It refers to a common type of cadence that was used in music written in the phrygian mode, but was later frequently used to end the slow middle movement of a concerto, when the composer wished for the final movement to begin without an extended break.

		Imperfect cadence (Mus.), one not ending with the tonic, but with the dominant or some other chord; one not giving complete rest; a half close.
		Imperfect number (Math.), a number either greater or less than the sum of its several divisors; in the former case, it is called also a defective number; in the latter, an abundant number.
		Imperfect power (Math.), a number which can not be produced by taking any whole number or vulgar fraction, as a factor, the number of times indicated by the power; thus, 9 is a perfect square, but an imperfect cube.

	Clausula
		Cadences are called "weak" or "strong" the more or less final the sensation they create, with the perfect authentic cadence being the strongest type.
		Perfect authentic cadences: V to I, the chords must be in root position, that is the root of the chords must be in the bass, and the root of I must be in the highest voice also
		Imperfect authentic cadences: V to I, one or more of the chords are inverted or not in root position or the root of the I is not in the highest voice

	MelDef
		Cadence: Derived from the Latin word cadere (to fall), a cadence is a musical device that brings about a more or less strong sense of formal closure.
		Imperfect terminal cadence: A melodic cadence that ends on the third or occasionally the fifth degree of the scale (as defined by the tonality frame) while still having a clear feeling of the tonic triad as the basic controlling sonority.
		Transient-terminal cadence: A melodic cadence that ends on a scale degree other than the tonic (as defined by the tonality frame) and that is tonicized, almost always by means of that tone's own leading tone.

	Dolmetsch Online - Music Theory Online - Chords & Cadences
		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 imperfect cadence is also always authentic, but now the triads are not in root position, and/or the tonic is not in the highest part.

		The two types of cadences demonstrated by the example above are the half cadence (the one in bar 4), and the authentic cadence (the one at the end).
		In the Bb-major cadence, the V-chord is an inversion.
		A plagal cadence (PC) is a progression that ends IV-I. It is often referred to as the "Amen" cadence, because it sounds like the "amen" that is sung at the end of many hymns.

	Harmony: cadences and nonharmonic tones
		Cadences bring the end of musical statements, some end the sentence for good, others simply end the idea and continue with a new one.
		A perfect authentic cadence is used to bring a very "finished" feeling into a piece, it is usually put at the end of a major section in the piece.
		The perfect authentic cadence consists of a two chord progression, V-I. What makes this cadence perfect is that both the V chord and the I chord must be in root position (not inverted).

	[smt-talk] Re: Imperfect Autentic Cadences
		I believe it important to think of "cadence" not simply in harmonic terms, but more fundamentally as a category of musical form-namely, as a "formal function" capable of rendering closure to a "theme" (or, in some cases, a component part of a theme, such as an "antecedent" phrase).
		I hold that these two cadence types, along with the half cadence (whose final harmony is a root-position triad), constitute the only genuine cadence types for eighteenth-century music and for most music of the nineteenth century.
		The "plagal" cadence, IV-I, is not a genuine cadence type, at least for the eighteenth-century (instead, the plagal harmonic progression functions "post-cadentially" to support a "codetta," not a cadence); nor is there any kind of cadence whose supporting progression ends on IV.

	Music 160A: Cadences
		Cadences are special arrangements of harmonic and melodic events that stand at the ends of musical units (phrases, periods, sections), and are designed to make those units sound more closed or less closed depending on local and larger-scale structural factors.
		Half cadences end on a dominant chord and thus do not signal a harmonic close; on the contrary, they indicate that the current musical unit is incomplete and still under way toward conclusion.
		An authentic cadence is "imperfected" (that is, made less conclusive than a PAC) when one or both of the requirements for a PAC are not met:

	Tonal Counterpoint Class Notes
		It is not enough to merely state that half cadences are "incomplete" and authentic cadences are "complete." The innumerable shades of gray between these two extremes are of fundamental importance; they will be the determining factor in defining phrase grouping, periods, and sometimes even parts of a composition.
		These two subclasses of authentic cadences are not, however, always sufficient to determine the relative strength of all possible authentic cadences, and not even sufficient to distinguish among the various degrees of strength of all possible perfect authentic cadences.
		But like the half cadence, it is always weaker than any authentic cadence and so will never end a period; we can therefore treat the deceptive cadence as structurally equal to the half cadence in most cases.

		CADENCE [cadence] in music, the ending of a phrase or composition.
		In instrumental music, with development of the theory of harmony, the cadence became completely dependent on the change of chord.
		If the dominant chord comes before the tonic, the cadence is authentic, or perfect; if the subdominant chord comes before the tonic, the cadence is plagal.

	Cadence (music)
		In Western musical theory a cadence (Latin cadentia, "a falling") is a particular series of intervals (a caesura) or chords that ends a phrase, section, or piece of music.
		In music of the common practice period, there are four main types of cadences: authentic, plagal, half, and deceptive.
		Authentic cadence: V to I. The phrase perfect cadence is sometimes used as a synonym for authentic cadence, but can also have a more precise meaning:

	Resolution (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An example of a single dissonant note which requires resolution would be, for instance, an F during a C major chord, CEG, which creates a dissonance with both E and G and may resolve to either, though more usually to E (the closer pitch).
		In reference to chords and progressions for example, a phrase ending with the following cadence IV-V, an imperfect cadence, does not have a high degree of resolution.
		However, if this cadence where changed to (IV-)V-I, a perfect cadence, it would resolve much more strongly by ending on the tonic I chord.

	[smt-talk] Re: Imperfect Autentic Cadences
		What is significant about the consideration of cadences is that all of them in the tonal structures of the common practice period are measured against the power and finality of the PAC.
		Every other cadence is "less than," and, it is the varying degrees of imperfection that should be appreciated.
		We must ask, "How imperfect is this cadence?" If we find a PAC we label it as such, but when we encounter something other than a PAC we must evaluate the three factors (melody, rhythm, and harmony) that contribute to its inconclusive nature.

		The deceptive cadence is very often used to stretch a phrase: because the closure dominant --> tonic 'went wrong', a new effort has to be undertaken to reach the tonic...See examples 1e and 1f.
		Like a deceptive cadence causes very often a lengthened phrase, so does the plagal cadence - but in a different way: a plagal cadence (plagaal slot) is very often used after the authentic cadence (or full cadence, heel slot) - in fact: after the piece or the phrase already has ended.See example 2.
		The second meaning of the term cadence is: a group of chords in a key, that is in such order and of such choice that we know in which key we are.

	Cadence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		A cadence is the point at which a piece of music is brought to a close.
		There are differing degrees of closure - it may be the absolute end of a symphony or pop song, or a brief pause at the end of a musical phrase.
		Each type of closure demands that its cadence be articulated with the harmonic, melodic, rhythmic and dynamic means necessary to its function.

	Cadential Forms
		The authentic cadence is one whose penult is V and whose final is I or i.
		The perfect cadence is always authentic - it uses a V - I or V - i progression, but both triads are in root position, and the tonic note of the scale is in the highest part.
		The half cadence is the same as an authentic cadence except that it is not completed - the cadence proceeds as usual, but it stops on the V chord.

	Root Progressions and Musical Phrases
		Where cadence structures are not sufficiently clear to absolutely define the phrase endings then it is appropriate to examine the motivic structure of the music to help clarify the delineation of the musical phrases.
		This is an extended repeat of the first phrase and ends on an imperfect cadence at bar 22.
		After 5 bars of this phrase there is a slightly altered repeat of it (phrase 5) at bar 40 (perfect cadence pattern, overlapping again) This phrase extends to the end of the exposition which concludes with a perfect cadence.

		This cadence should not be considered as structurally relevant, both because it marks the ending of the very first three-part combination of the main motive, and because the tied notes in the upper and lower parts essentially weaken the conclusion on the downbeat.
		An analysis of the material presented in this prelude reveals several smaller sections which are utterly important for a correct structural assessment of the piece in spite of not being harmonically concluded.
		The fact that this cadence remains unresolved in the middle voice ties the second and third sections together.

	Summary
		Imperfect authentic cadence- either the third or the fifth in the soprano with the third in the base.
		Cadence in atonal tone-row music: vertical groupings aren’t important since the chords aren’t related to each other and there is no central tonic.
		When a cadence is divided into two equal halves it seems as though there is a cadence in the middle, but that is really just cadential inflection and the real cadence does not come until the end of the phrase.
