Cadences - 4 Ways to end your songs (Creatively) | Rami Attallah

Details

Description

In this video we look at the 4 different types of cadence and how they are used in music.
A cadence is a 2 chord progression that is used at the end of a musical phrase. There are 4 types of cadences - Perfect (or Authentic), Plagal, Imperfect (or Half) and Interrupted (or Deceptive) which can sound "finished" or "unfinished".

Cadences are marked on sheet music with a horizontal line between the 2 chords.

Cadences are a really important part of composing as they help to define the end of musical phrases. If you are wanting your phrase to sound finished then use either the perfect (authentic) or plagal cadence. If, on the other hand you would like your music to sound unfinished then choose either the imperfect (half) cadence or interrupted (deceptive) cadence instead.
