In music theory, a "cadence" is a sequence of chords that brings a phrase, section, or piece to a close. The term "pipe" may refer to a specific instrument or context, but it could also simply be a typo or misunderstanding.
The most common cadences that typically bring phrases to a close are:
-
Perfect Authentic Cadence (PAC): Consists of a V to I chord progression, with both chords in root position and the root of the tonic chord (I) in the highest voice.
-
Imperfect Authentic Cadence (IAC): Similar to the PAC but does not have both chords in root position or the tonic note in the soprano voice.
-
Plagal Cadence: A IV to I progression, often referred to as the "Amen" cadence.
-
Half Cadence (HC): A progression ending on the V chord, creating a sense of pause but not a complete resolution.
-
Deceptive Cadence: A V to vi progression, which leads to an unexpected chord rather than the tonic.
If you are specifically referring to which cadence "took her" at the end of a consequent phrase, it is likely one of the authentic cadences—either Perfect or Imperfect Authentic—since these are typically used to provide a strong sense of closure. If you can clarify the context or provide additional details, I can offer more precise information.
