literally, in Italian, tail. A coda is most common in Classical and Romantic period music after the composer has finished with the expected form of the music. A coda’s function is generally to provide a strong conclusion to the work, giving the piece a grander sense of finality. It can, however, introduce new musical material, as we sometimes see in Beethoven’s works, or in the 2nd movement of Brahms’s Ein deutsches Requiem.

(1) A portion of a tune which seems like a tail, or extra measures, added to the last A section. It is repeated for every chorus, however. (2) An ending for a tune, used only once after the final chorus. There is often confusion in written charts as to whether a coda is 'every time' or 'out-chorus only'. Some charts, to save space, are written so that the tune appears to have a coda, but it's really just a normal part of the tune.
(COE-dah) The last musical thoughts in a composition; in strict formal terms, a piece might contain exposition (which sets forth the principal themes of the work), development (which uses that material in new and varied fashions), recapitulation (where the principal material is restated almost verbatim), cadenza (for a last-minute vocal improvisation, sometimes based on the early materials in the work), and coda (where one last little idea is put forward by the composer).

Coda is an album by English rock band Led Zeppelin, released in 1982. This album of out-takes from various sessions during Led Zeppelin's twelve-year career was released two years after the group had officially disbanded, following the death of drummer John Bonham. The word Coda, meaning the final passage of a musical structure, was therefore chosen as a suitable title.
Coda (Italian for "tail"; from the Latin cauda, see below), in music, is a passage which brings a movement or a separate piece to a conclusion through prolongation. This developed from the simple chords of a cadence into an elaborate and independent form. In a series of variations on a theme or in a composition with a fixed order of subjects, the coda is a passage sufficiently contrasted with the conclusions of the separate variations or subjects, added to form a complete conclusion to the whole.
Coda is a Rock en Español band from Mexico, formed in 1989. The band had a lot of success in the early 90s, releasing four albums in the meantime. In the late 90s, the band suffered several line-up remaining together through them.
