Richard Dawkins' (the creator of meme)

I was taught that cadence is a "falling" part that end a phrase or a verse in a music piece. I don't know if this term is suitable for modern singing, but for sure it is for classical music. In vocal pedagogy, cadenza (a part of coloratura) is usually improvised or written out around cadence. In modern singing, we prefer using the term "vocal run/riff/melisma" instead of cadenza.
