Editing Cadence (section)

===Picardy third===
A [[Picardy third]] (or Picardy cadence) is a harmonic device that originated in Western music in the Renaissance era. It refers to the use of a major chord of the tonic at the end of a musical section that is either modal or in a minor key. The example below shows a picardy third in the final chord, from [[Johann Sebastian Bach|J.S. Bach]]'s ''[[Jesu, meine Freude, BWV 227|Jesu, meine Freude]]'' (Jesus, My Joy), mm. 12–13.{{sfn|Benward|Saker|2009|p=74}}
