What is it called when there a major chord after minor part in song?

The musical term for this is "Tierce de Picardie". It refers to the practice of ending a piece of music in a major chord, even if the rest of the piece is in a minor key. This technique was commonly used in Baroque music and is named after the French region of Picardy, where it was particularly popular.
