At some point, you are going to want your musical compositional piece to end. As good as a composition is, it should end to give way to another exciting work of yours.
So, what are some aspects to keep in mind on writing a strong ending?
Well, we can think of several aspects that can act as a checklist, such as having the ending of a piece of music…
- Officially end the composition in an interesting and engaging way
- Use a finish of slowing-down (or speeding up) rhythmically
- Extend an ending phrase, as possibly a vamp or sequence
- Be characteristic to the rest of the composition
- Utilize it as the peak climax, or point of resolution
Once again, these are tips in mind – whether you decide to use them or not is up to you. You are the composer, write how you want!
