Male chorus gives an encore (4)

I believe the answer is:

echo

'an encore' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'male chorus gives' is the wordplay.
'gives' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ECHO' can be found hidden inside 'male chorus'.

(Other definitions for echo that I've seen before include "Nymph whose love Narcissus spurned" , "What evokes memories" , "Reflection of sound wave" , "Let's hear it again for the Greek nymph who loved Narcissus in vain" , "Ape" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Irish News.
