"Call and response patterns, developed in spirituals and play and work songs, are related to the group or communal nature of art; these patterns both value improvisation and demand that new meanings be created for each particular moment. The valuing of these characteristics suggests that importance lies not only in what is said, but also in how it is said. The assumption is that a story will be repeated and will change with every telling, and that the success of the telling, and so of the particular story, resides not so much in its similarity to the original as in its individual nuances and its ability to involve others.
