What are cadences?

What are cadences? Cadences are 2 chords at the end of a phrase They act like punctuation at the end of sentence OR punctuation in the middle of a sentence e.g. Full stop. comma, exclamation mark!

Cadences There are 4 types of cadence. These pairs of chords are only cadences when they come at the end of a phrase. Anywhere else in a phrase, they are just chords.

Name the 4 cadences

Name the 4 cadences Perfect = full stop (chord V – I) Plagal = full stop (church amen)(chord IV-I) Imperfect = comma, the music feels as if it is not finished and has to carry on(chord I-V or chord IV-V or chord II-V) Interrupted = exclamation mark, here you expect it to be a full stop but you get a surprise, shock. You don’t expect this one! (chord V-VI)

Perfect Cadence A perfect cadence makes a piece of music feel finished or complete. It works like a full stop. It goes from chord V to chord I e.g. in C major that’s a G chord to a C chord. V - I

Plagal Cadence A plagal cadence sounds different from a perfect cadence but has a similar effect i.e. it makes a piece of music sound finished. Plagal cadence is used at the end of hymns – it is sometimes called the ‘Amen’ cadence. Chord IV – Chord I (F chord – C chord in C major) IV - I

IV - V I - V II - V Imperfect Cadence An imperfect cadence goes from chord I, II or IV to V. Sounds like the phrase is incomplete and it is going to carry on, i.e. a pause, a comma. IV - V I - V II - V

V - VI Interrupted Cadence An interrupted cadence chord V can go to any chord except chord I, usually chord VI. You expect it to go to chord I but it doesn’t. Instead it sounds interrupted or like a shock. V - VI

Listening Activity Identify cadences Perfect = full stop Plagal = full stop (church amen) Imperfect = comma, the music feels as if it is not finished and has to carry on Interrupted = exclamation mark, here you expect it to be a full stop but you get a surprise, shock. You don’t expect this one!

Cadence Performing Activity You will learn 4 short tunes and fill in the missing cadences at the end of them. You will perform the tunes and cadences with confidence and understand which cadences are being used and how to form them.

Homework At the beginning of music you have a key signature. It contains sharps (#) or flats (b). Learn the order of the sharps: Freddy can’t get doughnuts anywhere f# c# g# d# a# And the flats spell BEAD (Bb, Eb, Ab and Db)
