[TWEWY] Amen
Done for subarashiki_ds's TWEWY revival 2011. Prompt was "Deceptive Cadence". Took about 1.5 hours from conception to completion, including the time it took to fuss about with my splatter brushes and panel sizes.
A SIMPLE EXPLANATION OF THE CADENCES REFERENCED IN THIS PICTURE without getting into the technical stuff. (I apologise for any incoherency; I'm a little zzz)
Plagal cadences are usually cadences placed at the end of a piece, and is most easily recognisable by the way it finishes, which sounds like "Amen." For this reason, it tends to be used at the end of hymns and such. Plagal cadences sound complete, signalling an endpoint. Think of it as being something like a... full stop in a sentence.
Deceptive cadences tend to be placed within a piece, at the end of a phrase, and it sounds unfinished or incomplete, meaning there's still more song left. IF I RECALL CORRECTLY (because I always get this cadence mixed up with imperfect cadences), deceptive cadences sound like the song is going to finish... but at the last moment, it switches the last chord, making the piece sound incomplete. Think of it as being a comma in a sentence that you thought was a full stop. The notes you see in the image are of the deceptive cadence, taken from wikipedia.
(It'd actually be more technically correct to have gone from a perfect cadence to a deceptive cadence, instead of a plagal to deceptive as shown in this picture, but I thought it'd be more thematically appropriate the way I have it.)
p.s. TWEWY guns are still silly.
