Answer 1

Woah!!!! Thats like AS Level Music!!!!

ok you can read here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadence_(music) but this is the low down.

A cadence is usually the last phrase of a song before the end or at the end of a section. In a scale you have the different notes for example in a C Major Scale you have c,d,e,f,g,a,b okies? each of them have a roman numeral to say where they are in the scale: C- I D- II E -III F-IV G-V A-VI B- VII ok get me so far????

You then have a perfect cadence which is where the phrase goes from V(G) to I(C) okies? which is a down sound

You then have an imperfect cadence which is any note of the scale going back to the root (For example II which is D going to I)

You then get odd ones like Phyrgian and Plagal (IV - I) cadences

hope this helps

Answer 2

A cadence is a series of chords that ends either a section or a piece of music. There are several types... The basic ones are:-

Perfect Cadence: Chord V (5) to Chord I (1)
Plagal Cadence: Chord IV (4) to Chord I (1)
Half Cadence: Any Chord to Chord V (5)
Interrupted / Deceptive Cadence: Chord V (5) to Any Chord except Chord I (1)

In the armed services, a military cadence or cadence call is a sort of work song: a chant that is sung by military personnel while running or marching. In the United States, these cadences are sometimes called jody calls or jodies, after Jody, a recurring character who figures in some traditional cadences.

Requiring no instruments to play, they are counterparts in oral military folklore of the military march. As a sort of work song, military cadences take their rhythms from the work being done (compare sea shanty). Many cadences have a call and response structure; one soldier initiates a line, and the remaining soldiers complete it.

History
The word "cadence" was applied to these chants because of an earlier meaning, in which it meant the number of steps a marcher or runner took per minute. The cadence was set by a drummer or sergeant, and discipline was extremely important as keeping the cadence directly affected the travel speed of infantry. There were other purposes: the close-order drill was a particular cadence count for the complex sequence of loading and firing a musket. In the Revolutionary War, Baron von Steuben notably imported European battlefield techniques which persist, greatly modified, to this day. Cadences also instill teamwork and camaraderie.

Oral tradition credits the origin of the modern cadence tradition within the United States Army to Private Willie Duckworth; according to this story, in May of 1944, while returning to base with his exhausted unit, he began singing or chanting the first cadence, "Sound Off:"

Sound-off; 1 - 2; Sound-off; 3 - 4; Count cadence; 1 - 2 - 3 - 4; 1 - 2 — 3 - 4.
This cadence, known as the "Duckworth Chant," exists with some variations in many different branches of the U.S. military. Duckworth's simple chant soon was elaborated by folk tradition among drill sergeants and the soldiers under their command, and the tradition of creating elaborate marching chants or songs spread to other branches of the military.

Answer 4

A cadence is a steady rhythm. It does not have to be on an even count, but it does have to be steady and repeats itself every measure, or every other measure or even stretch across several measures. An easy cadence would be straight quarter notes in a 4/4 time. One, Two, Three, Four. Simple.
