Cadence
Definition:

(n.) See Cadency.
(n.) Harmony and proportion in motions, as of a well-managed horse.
(n.) A uniform time and place in marching.
(n.) The close or fall of a strain; the point of rest, commonly reached by the immediate succession of the tonic to the dominant chord.
(n.) A cadenza, or closing embellishment; a pause before the end of a strain, which the performer may fill with a flight of fancy.
(v. t.) To regulate by musical measure.
