RfV as a Latin term. I can only find evidence for this term in English. If it's Latin, then it's later Ecclesiastical Latin. --EncycloPetey 18:57, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

I found it in several musical dictionaries indicated as being a Latin term, and in the titles of a few compositions with enough context to make me think the whole title is Latin, though I'm not certain.

• Intrada, elegia e postludium, by Sławomir Stanisław Czarnecki
• Praeludium et postludium super hymnum austriacum Josephi Haydn pro organo aut Fortepiano quatuor manibus (Secondo= "Ped." c. octava) composuit Antonius Foerster.- Op. 105
• POSTLUDIUM FESTIVUM (Original Compositions for the Organ, No. 443) Charles W. Pierce.
• Postludium 'In dulci jubilo' , Leo Salerby

plus quite a few others.

Conversely, the Catalan cognate postludi is given in the GDLC as being formed by analogy to praeludium 'preludi' and interludium 'interludi', so definitely New Latin if it is Latin. — Carolina wren discussió 00:28, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Not all of those are Latin; the first item is actually Italian. However, based on the other findings it holds up as muscial jargon in New Latin. --EncycloPetey 18:30, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
