FINISHED SOUNDING
- Perfect cadences sound as though the music has come to an end. A perfect cadence is formed by the chords V - I.
- Plagal cadences sound finished. Plagal cadences are often used at the end of hymns and sung to A-men. A plagal cadence is formed by the chords IV - I.
NOT FINISHED SOUNDING
- Interrupted cadences are 'surprise' cadences. You think you're going to hear a perfect cadence, but you get a minor chord instead.
- Imperfect cadences sound unfinished. They sound as though they want to carry on to complete the music properly. An imperfect cadence ends on chord V.
