What is the opposite of a prelude?

If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn’t it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, and dry cleaners depressed?

On the other hand, postlude is a word: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/postlude

But, keep in mind: http://www.antimoon.com/forum/t245.htm

postlude is if you are talking about an afterword in a book or something of the sort. if you are speaking as "this preludes this" then you would want, as your antonym, or "opposite", either the word succeed or the word follow. but or course if you are talking about the noun prelude, as in a book, you would want something like afterword or postlude

Postlude!

Conclusion

given prelude's musical associations I'd say finale.

I'm corroborated by:

Extilude.

I was gonna say epilogue but I guess thats not it ^^;

I have NO idea, all those words kinda mean the same thing anyway.

It's a postlude, although I agree, that does sound weird.

finale?
