coda
Composition's closing passage
A coda is the concluding passage of a piece of music, distinct from the main structure and bringing the work to a close.
By extension, any concluding section that rounds off a larger work: The final chapter serves as a coda to the trilogy.
In linguistics, the coda is the consonant sound or sounds that end a syllable, following the vowel.
