<Ul> <Li> Phrygian half - cadence: a half cadence iv--V in minor, so named because the semitonal motion in the bass (sixth degree to fifth degree) resembles the semitone heard in the ii--I of the 15th - century cadence in the Phrygian mode . Due to its being a survival from modal Renaissance harmony this cadence gives an archaic sound, especially when preceded by v (v--iv--V). A characteristic gesture in Baroque music, the Phrygian cadence often concluded a slow movement immediately followed by a faster one . With the addition of motion in the upper part to the sixth degree, it becomes the Landini cadence . </Li> <Li> Lydian cadence: The Lydian half - cadence is similar to the Phrygian - half, involving iv - V in the minor, the difference is that in the Lydian - half, the whole iv is raised by a semitone . In other words, the Phrygian - half begins with the first chord built on scale degree P4 and the Lydian - half is built on the scale degree A4 (augmented 4th). The Phrygian cadence ends with the movement from iv → V of bass (3rd of the chord / scale degree m6) down by semi-tone → bass (the root of the chord / scale degree P5), fifth (scale - degree P1) up by whole - tone → fifth (scale - degree M2), and the root (scale degree P4) up by tone → octave (scale - degree P5); the Lydian half - cadence ends with the movement from a iv (raised by a semitone) → V of bass (3rd of the chord / scale - degree 6M) down by whole - tone → bass (the root of the chord / scale degree P5), fifth (scale degree A1) up by a semitone → fifth (scale degree M2), and the root (scale degree A4) up by a semitone → octave (scale degree P5). </Li> <Li> Burgundian cadences: Became popular in Burgundian music .

The movement of the v chord (dominant) back to the i chord (tonic) is known as a plagal cadence
