About Postlude
Postlude is a music genre. It is usually classed as a form of composed musical work.
From Wikipedia
An afterpiece (or postlude, German term Nachspiel is also used in English texts) is a short, usually humorous one-act playlet or musical work following the main attraction (the full-length play or music piece) and concluding the theatrical evening or religious service. In terms of content, there was usually no connection to the main performance. A similar theatrical piece preceding the main attraction is a curtain raiser.
