	Call and response (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In music, a call and response is a succession of two distinct phrases usually played by different musicians, where the second phrase is heard as a direct commentary on or response to the first.
		In West African cultures, call and response is a pervasive pattern of democratic participation -- in public gatherings in the discussion of civic affairs, in religious rituals, as well as in vocal and instrumental musical expression.
		Where call and response is most apparent in the secular music arena is in traditional and electric blues, where the most common 12-bar form is an AA'B pattern where the AA' is the call (repeated once with slight variation), and B is the response.

	Call and response - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This article is about call and response in communication.
		Call and response is a form of "spontaneous verbal and non-verbal interaction between speaker and listener in which all of the statements ('calls') are punctuated by expressions ('responses') from the listener", as stated by Smitherman [1].
		In West African cultures, call and response is a pervasive pattern of democratic participation -- in public gatherings, in the discussion of civic affairs, in religious rituals, as well as in vocal and instrumental musical expression (see call and response (music)).

	The Influence of African Rhythms
		The music of Africa informed the music of Charleston in a very central way; it is impossible to quantify the many influences, but it is possible to highlight three of the most recognizable and important contributions.
		Talk of syncopation, call and response, and timbre can get complex and technical, but on a basic level, they are the soul of this new African American music: they give the music "looseness" and excitement, relaxation and drive.
		Call and response is also crucial because it involves the audience; it transcends the seperation of audience and performers so common in the west.

	Call and Response: Tiger Teeth EP - PopMatters Music Review
		In the case of Call and Response the maturation from debut to sophomore effort was quite a juxtaposition.
		Call and Response's 2001 self-titled debut album was, like many debut albums, a stylistic mish mash.
		Pushing into territory that was described as "impressionistic" and "beautiful", Call and Response may have forgotten about fun during their "maturation" process.

	Ladytron - 604 (Emperor Norton), Call and Response - s/t (Kindercore)
		That style of music is synthesizer-heavy early 80s new wave, somewhere between Kraftwerk and Howard Jones, with a dance-able disco beat.
		While these two styles of music are very different, the two bands have some similarities in sound, both being led by multiple female vocalists and both coming from the Stereolab school of analog sound using moogs, organs, and synthesizers, creating plenty of interesting sounds inside their bouncy pop melodies.
		Call and Response's debut album is very reminiscent of the work of The Ladybug Transistor, sounding like a new millennium version of The Mamas and the Papas.

	Using Call-and-Response
		She suggests that responses function to affirm or agree with the speaker, urge the speaker on, repeat what the speaker has said, complete the speaker’s statement in response to a request from the speaker or in spontaneous talking with the speaker, or indicate extremely powerful affirmation of what the speaker has said.
		Responses can follow from a speaker’s specifically requesting them or eliciting them by manipulating their own discourse, or they can be unsolicited and spontaneously interjected into the ongoing interaction (Foster, 1989).
		Analysis of this excerpt along the four dimensions—code, function, mode, and initiator—reveals that it consisted of a verbal call and a musical response; it expressed speakers' attitudes by celebrating learning (i.e., the student’s use of the more sophisticated term injured); it was highly scripted or routinized; and it was initiated by the teacher.

	Spirituals and Gospel Music
		Spirituals and gospel music are related to each other, but they developed at different times in history: Spirituals rose out of the experience of enslaved Africans in Colonial America, and gospel music developed in the early twentieth century in cities.
		Now traditional gospel music is sung by fl and white solists, quartets, and choirs of men or women or both.
		A look at spirituals and gospel music reveals that although the musical style of the folk spiritual has changed over hundreds of years (as has much of America’s music), the core beliefs, strengths, and values of African American culture are still intact as expressed in spirituals and gospel music.

		Call and Response released their new full-length album Winds take no shape in spring of 2004.
		Uncut called it "a magnificent surprise" and Jane magazine said "the uncorny indie-rock answer to Sade, moody wake-and-bake vibes." With this record, the band innovated a sound that was impressionistic, mystical, and beautiful.
		In November of 2004, we get to take a step back to experience a time when Call and Response were in between the California twee pop sound of their debut and the matured radiance of their recent full length.

		Talking to Simone (pronounced see-moan) Rubi of San Francisco's Call and Response is a bit like listening to her band's music: Neither stays on course for very long before veering off in a different direction.
		Kinda like the old groups, y'know?" But while the Call and Response sound was beginning to take form and the members were having a blast writing songs, the shows the band played in Santa Barbara were far less than successful.

	Call and Response: Winds Take No Shape: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Their music is still lighter-than-air, but a newfound strain of wistfulness brings it closer to earth.
		The clearest precursor to Call and Response's current sound is mid-era Stereolab; the similarity of Clough's singing to Laetitia Sadier's goes beyond having the same detached air to include sharing melodic themes, and the propensity to stress awkward syllables.
		Call and Response still fall into pop hooks, and the swing can give way at any point to the plodding bass drum of a soft and muted disco chorus.

	Call and Response: self-titled - PopMatters Music Review
		Northern California's CAR have the musical talent that I so clearly lack, but they also have similar pop inspirations and manifest their influences in an unwavering tribute to '60s pop, the finest disco, Motown and Sarah, while also keeping their sound fresh and uniquely animated in this age.
		Call and Response has been a record to save my summer, but its winter release date and unabashedly bright-eyed wonder make it a necessary addition to the Slumberland/Sarah/Creation fan's record collection for all seasons.
		Yet they miss the point; Call and Response is not a substitute for your overly cerebral Radiohead and Tindersticks records, but a complement to them.

	Badman Recording Co. - Bands (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Call and Response are a musical ensemble hailing from the Bay Area, California.
		With their debut self-titled album, Call And Response hopped from one label to the next (namely Kindercore and Emperor Norton), and looks like they've hopped one more time for their sophomore effort -- landing them on Badman Records.
		On paper, Call and Response don't seem like much: A band that's absorbed the cleaner, quieter side of post-rock (American Analog Set, the Sea and Cake) into their collective bloodstream, plus not one but two female vocalists who might have made serious coin - or at least Chris Douridas' playlist - during trip-hop's heyday.
