A Phrygian half cadence is a half cadence iv<sup>6</sup>–V in minor, so named because the semitonal motion in the bass (sixth degree to fifth degree) resembles the half-step heard in the ii–I of the 15th-century cadence in the [[Phrygian mode]]. Due to its being a survival from modal Renaissance harmony this cadence gives an archaic sound, especially when preceded by v (v–iv<sup>6</sup>–V).<ref>Finn Egeland Hansen (2006). ''Layers of Musical Meaning'', p. 208. {{ISBN|87-635-0424-3}}.</ref> A characteristic gesture in [[Baroque music]], the Phrygian cadence often concluded a slow movement immediately followed ("attacca") by a faster one.<ref>[[Don Michael Randel|Randel, Don Michael]] (2003).
