Answer to Question 1

 Women respond to the initial high-pitched poetic cries of a woman, followed by a drum.
 A male voice sings in free rhythm on vocables (meaningless syllables); another overlapping voice is heard toward the end of this melody
 Solo introduction by the mijwiza, a single-reed, double-piped clarinet, typical of the Levant, is followed by the nay (reed flute), buzuq (long-necked lute), and qanun (zither) playing in call and response texture (solo answered by group).
 The song proper begins with a man singing the beginning of each line of poetry and a group of women completing each line.

Answer to Question 2

 This example of Arab singing and poetry recitation, which includes the high-pitched, poetic cries of a woman who calls for blessings on the groom, might be used at a wedding within a community of Arab people in Dearborn, Michigan.
