of the tonic. These two forms of the perfect cadence 
were in ancient church modes called authentic, in dis- 
tinction from the plagal cadence. An example of each 
form in C major is here given. llhe end of a piece should 
properly be a -complete cadence, incomplete and inter- 
rupted cadences being; suitable only as temporary endings 
for phrases or periods in the midst of apiece. Imperfect 
cadence, the chord of the tonic followed by that of the 
dominant ; it rarely occurs as a final close. Interrupted 
or deceptive cadence, a cadence formed by a chord 
foreign to that which was expected, thus evading the close 
and deceiving expectation. Thus, in the example, the 
second chord has A in the bass instead of C, which is nat- 
urally expected. Also called suspended cadence. Medial 
cadence, a cadence in ancient church music in which the 
mediant was the most important note. Mixed cadence, 
a cadence in which a subdominant is followed by a domi-

church music. Plagal cadence, a cadence which con-

2. In her., the relative status of younger sons. 
Also brisure Marks of cadency, in her., bearings 
used to distinguish the shields of the second son, the third 
son, etc. This is sometimes effected by a bearing diner- 
ing only in details on the shields of the different sons, as 
a label having three, four, or more points, to mark their 
respective order. It is also effected by means of a totally 
different bearing. Thus, in modern times it has been 
ordained that the eldest son should wear a label during 
the lifetime of his father, or until he inherits the pater- 
nal shield, without marks of cadency ; the second son a 
crescent, the third a mullet, the fourth a martlet, the fifth 
an annulet, the sixth a fleur-de-lys, the seventh a rose, the 
eighth a cross moline, the ninth a double quatrefoil. The 
mark of cadency may become a permanent part of the 
shield if the younger son acquires estates of his own and 
builds up a family of consequence ; thus the bordure, which 
is originally a mark of cadency, has often become a perma- 
nent bearing, and the shield which contains it bears new 
marks of cadency when borne by the sons of its possessor.
