This is only natural... but there was a music director/conductor I worked for, he'd whip the audience into a frenzy on a regular basis with performances from his inspired/passionate choruses... and yet insist that every shred of applause be removed.... and so, yes, I'd have to take the last split second of music and send it off to a reverb crafted to match the hall... and that would be the fade... an excellent education in these things, but also as weird as hell.
