English term or phrase: three-part harmonies
Music / CD review:
That said, the set opens on good form with the rollicking three-chorder ‘Rock With You’. There are fine three-part harmonies and a big, wide-open sound; it skirts Bryan Adams territory, but then redeems itself with dramatic moments such as the sustained build into the final chorus.

agree  Stefan Keller: yup; oder dreistimmige(r) "Backgrounds/Backgroundgesang"//na ja, wenn "harmonies=harmony vocals", dann sind das schon eher die Backings, meine ich

  -> Danke schön! Wenn man's ganz furchtbar genau nimmt, sind aber backing vocs was anderes (stehen im Hintergrund, während beim Satz die Stimmen weitgehend gleichberechtigt sind, so "barbershop"-mäßig).
agree  Kirsten Schulze: stimmt hundert pro in diesem fall
