Phrasing the Tune

How can an organist DECREASE the finality or strength of a cadence? Again, there are several ways, which may be used separately or in combination:

  • Cadence before modification (Example 1)
  • SHORTEN THE BREAK (Example 2)
  • DO NOT LENGTHEN THE NOTE FOLLOWING THE CADENCE
    • Before lengthening (Example 1)
    • After lengthening (Example 3)
