Cadence
The act or state of declining or sinking. A fall of the voice in reading or speaking, especially at the end of a sentence. A rhythmical modulation of the voice or of any sound; as, music of bells in cadence sweet. Rhythmical flow of language, in prose or verse. See Cadency. Harmony and proportion in motions, as of a well-managed horse. A uniform time and place in marching. The close or fall of a strain; the point of rest, commonly reached by the immediate succession of the tonic to the dominant chord. A cadenza, or closing embellishment; a pause before the end of a strain, which the performer may fill with a flight of fancy. To regulate by musical measure. Related Definitions:

Cadence Quotations
I try to write in plain brown blocks of American speech but occasionally set in an ancient word or a strange word just to startle the reader a little bit and to break up the monotony of the plain American cadence. James Laughlin But I will say that living in Ireland has changed the cadence and fullness of speech, since the Irish love words and use as many of them in a sentence as possible. Anne McCaffrey A speech is poetry: cadence, rhythm, imagery, sweep! A speech reminds us that words, like children, have the power to make dance the dullest beanbag of a heart. Peggy Noonan |
