A cadence can be thought of as harmonic punctuation placed at the end of a phrase or passage. Using the key of C major as an example, the four most commonly used cadences are: G - C (perfect), (C)- G (imperfect) F - C (plagal) and G - Am (interrupted). The name interrupted goes some way to explain the musical effect produced. A musical passage which approaches the dominant chord (in our example, G) will harmonically seem to want to gravitate to the tonic chord (C) producing a perfect cadence or full close. By actually moving to the submedient chord (Am), the listener perceives an interruption in the flow of the harmony.

When a songs melody begins in the key of C major it should end in the key of?
The answer to this question is not always simple, however if you want a definite answer, look at the tips below: If you wanted to end on a perfect cadence, you should modulate to a G major chord and then move down to the tonic chord (C major). If you wanted to end on a plagal cadence, you would modulate up a fourth to a F major chord and then resolve on a C major chord. If you wanted to end on am imperfect cadence you simply modulate to the dominant chord (in this case G major) and end there. Finally, if you wanted to end on an interrupted cadence you modulate from the tonic chord (C major) to the relative minor, an A minor chord. So in most cases a song which began in C major should end in the tonic key (C major), however a song in C major can end in G major (an imperfect cadence) or in A minor (an interrupted cadence). Hope this helps.
