{{cleanup|This non-musical mod has no idea what all of the jargon on this page means, and there's no indication of where to find an explanation. What is a "V chord", and how is it different from a "U chord" or a "W chord", assuming that those even exist?}}
A '''Half Cadence''' is one of a few deliberately unresolved [[Chord Progression]] cadences, characterized by ending a musical phrase (rarely a piece) on a V chord. Here, the leadup is unimportant; the chord could be a I, a ii, a IV, a vi, or anything else, so long as it then progresses to a V.
 
A special form of the '''Half Cadence''' is the Phrygian half cadence, which is created through an iv6 - V progression, so named for its similar sound to the Phrygian mode.
