  • In this video on music cadences we look at the 4 different types of cadence and how they are used in music.
    For more information and a free downloadable wall chart on cadences visit www.musictheoryacademy.com/ho...
    A cadence is a 2 chord progression that is used at the end of a musical phrase. 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. 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.
    The imperfect cadence or half cadence is a progression that ends on chord V. It can start on either chord I, II or IV. In C major, the progression could move from chord II (Dm) to chord V (G).
    The interrupted cadence of deceptive cadence is a wonderful cadence as it adds an element of surprise into a piece of music. The progression is from chord V to chord VI. The listener thinks that the music is going to return to chord I, but instead they are taken to the "surprising" sound of chord VI.
    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.

    This is a good presentation of the cadences. However, it would be helpful in this presentation to use the correct Roman Numerals for minor chords and not the major Roman Numeral references across the board.

      That actually confused me for a bit ngl.
      Anyone who doesn't know their chords might get the wrong idea.

    • @kimspence-jones4765

      Agreed. Definitely took me a few seconds to adjust when I first noticed minor chords notated in upper case.

    • @abcrx32j
      @abcrx32j 2 года назад +4

      Makes no difference for me when it comes to understand what is being shown. But seen uppercase letters with a minor chord feels uncanny anyway

      Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus.
      Romans 6:23
      John 3:16❤😊❤❤

    NOTES FOR SELF
    perfect: ends on I (V-I) (string finish)
    plagal: IV-I (gentle finish)
    unfinished: never ends on I:
    -> imperfect/half cadence (I-V, II-V, IV-V)
    -> interrupted/deceptive: unexpected (ex V-VI)

    I saw this, only to check whether the phrygian half cadence was mentioned. It is used to finish a tune by Hans Leo Hassler, used for several old hymns. J.S. Bach liked this tune and made several chorals and variations over it. Paul Simon also uses it in American Tune, but he changes the finish, so in his version there is no phrygian half cadence.
