What's the difference between cadence and tempo?

Cadence


Definition:

  • (n.) The act or state of declining or sinking.
  • (n.) A fall of the voice in reading or speaking, especially at the end of a sentence.
  • (n.) A rhythmical modulation of the voice or of any sound; as, music of bells in cadence sweet.
  • (n.) Rhythmical flow of language, in prose or verse.
  • (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.

Tempo


Definition:

  • (n.) The rate or degree of movement in time.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Their tempo was better in the second, although there remained the general lack of ingenuity.

  • (10) These comparisons can be summarized as follows: 1) TDL populations primed in bulk MLI cultures (MLI-TDL) slowed some evidence of specific positive selection when tested immediately; MLI responses to specific alloantigens were both relatively large and accelerated in tempo, whereas responses to third party alloantigens were diminished but also accelerated in tempo.
  • (11) In extra-time began to look more like the tempo-setting player he can be, even as his team fell behind.
