In music, the conclusion is the ending of a composition and may take the form of a coda or outro.
Pieces using sonata form typically use the recapitulation to conclude a piece, providing closure through the repetition of thematic material from the exposition in the tonic key. In all musical forms other techniques include "altogether unexpected digressions just as a work is drawing to its close, followed by a return...to a consequently more emphatic confirmation of the structural relations implied in the body of the work."[1]

Coda (Italian for "tail", plural code) is a term used in music in a number of different senses, primarily to designate a passage which brings a piece (or one movement thereof) to a conclusion.
An outro (sometimes "outtro", also "extro") is the conclusion to a piece of music, literature or television program. It is the opposite of an intro. "Outro" is a blend or portmanteau as it replaces the element "in" of the "intro" with its opposite, to create a new word. The word was used facetiously by The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band for the 1967 track "The Intro and the Outro".
In music, an outro-solo is an instrumental solo part (usually a guitar solo) played as the song fades out or until it stops. For examples see Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog", Vanessa Carlton's "Home" (piano solo), Eric Clapton's "Layla" (piano, guitar and slide guitar solo composed with Jim Gordon), Pink Floyd' "Comfortably Numb", Eagles' "Hotel California", Metallica's "Fade to Black" and "Astronomy" (Blue Öyster Cult cover), Tenacious D's "The Metal", Dire Straits' "Tunnel of Love", Rush's "Working Man", Blur's "To the End (La Comedie)", and T34's "Hbabi".
In contemporary television, an outro is theme music present over closing credits or played at the end of a program (common in news programs or game shows when the lights go down and the camera angle is wide).
In video games, the outro is the end sequence. The term usually refers to the cut scene presented to the player on completion of the game.
Repeat and fade is a musical direction used in sheet music as a notational shortcut to more formal notations such as Dal Segno.[2] The direction is to be taken literally: while repeating the chord progression and/or leit motif indicated prior to the section annotated "repeat and fade", the player(s) should continue to play/repeat, and the mixer or player(s) should fade the volume while the player(s) repeat the appropriate musical segments, until the song has been faded out (usually by faders on the mixing board)
Repeat and fade endings are rarely found in live performances, but are often used in studio recordings.[2] Examples include:
