Closing bars
Answer:
CODAS
Hint:
Think of the musical or linguistic term for a concluding section that wraps up a phrase or piece. It’s not the finale itself, but the tail end that signals completion.
Explanation:
"Closing bars" hints at the musical term "codas," which refers to the concluding sections of a piece that wrap things up—like a final bar or two. The wordplay leans on "bars" meaning both musical measures and the literal bars you’d close at a pub, but the answer stays purely musical. It’s a clean double meaning where "closing" directly ties to the function of a coda in music.
