Cadenza is a lyrical gender-neutral name popularized in America, stemming from Italian and Latin origins. The Italian word cadenza refers to “a decorative solo performed in a piece of music, such as a concerto, usually near the end.” Like Cadence, Cadenza derives from the Latin root cadentia, meaning "to fall" or “a falling.” This musical style of falling notes and chords is a timeless technique still used in music today. But a cadenza is where the soloist shines, so your little Cadenza can flow through life with a name that sounds like an uplifting melody.
