Question

Certain types of songs tend to have a call-and-response structure because____________?

Answer 1

all-and-response begins with a melodic “phrase.” This is a group of notes that expresses a musical idea. The phrase can be purely vocal or can be played on an instrument. It can also be a mixture of the two. For example, B.B. King was known to make the call with his voice, and answer it with his guitar.
