What are a phrase and a cadence?
Just as a sentence can be divided into its component units or phrases, so can a melody. A
phrase in music, as in language, denotes a unit of meaning within a larger structure. The
phrase ends in a resting place, or cadence, which produces a sentence. The cadence is
where a singer or instrumentalist pauses to draw a breath
What is style?
Style may be defined as the characteristic way an artwork is presented. We distinguish
between the style of a novel and that of an essay, between the style of a cathedral and that
of a palace. In short, a style is made up of pitch, time, timbre, and expression, creating a
sound that each culture recognizes as its own. (p. 69)
