This video explores the importance of cadences in music composition, breaking them down into three categories: authentic cadences (perfect and imperfect), half cadences, and deceptive cadences. We look at examples from the game 'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild' and learn how to use them to create balance, tension, and surprise. We also explore how to use a deceptive cadence and how to create a powerful resolution.
