Musical endings refer to the concluding sections of a piece of music. The two most common musical endings are CODAS and cadences. A coda is a short passage that brings a piece of music to a close, usually by repeating a phrase or theme from earlier in the piece. Cadences are more complex than CODAS and involve a harmonic progression that leads to a final chord. Cadences can be used to create a sense of resolution and closure in a piece of music.
