Cadence refers to the rhythmic flow and pattern of sounds in speech or writing, particularly in poetry. It encompasses the rise and fall of voice, the length of pauses, and the arrangement of stressed and unstressed syllables. In poetry, cadence contributes to the overall musicality and emotional impact of a piece, helping to convey mood and meaning. Overall, cadence plays a crucial role in shaping how words are experienced, enhancing the expressive quality of language and sound.

Pitch refers to how high or low a musical note sounds. It is determined by the frequency of the sound waves produced; higher frequencies result in higher pitches, while lower frequencies produce lower pitches.

What is "rhythm"?

Rhythm is a pattern of sounds or beats that repeats at regular intervals. In literature, it often refers to the arrangement of stressed and unstressed syllables in poetry, creating a flow or beat. In music, rhythm involves the timing of notes and chords, creating a structured pattern of beats and pauses. Rhythm helps to set the pace and mood of a piece, making it more engaging and dynamic. For instance, in poetry, a regular pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables creates a rhythmic flow, while in music, the rhythm of drum beats or instrumental sections provides a foundation for the composition.
