Have a look at

Has anyone got the name of the musical form of the question and answer

'Highland Laddie'(first two parts) in Peacock's
Call and response is a good term Stephen, as is Colin's question and
answer. I think it's kan ha diskan in Brittany, and no doubt there are
other terms from other places. I'd noticed this in pipe tunes (e.g.
Lasses Boozes Brandy, Sweet as Sugar Candy, Cuddie Claw'd Her) and I'd
refer
"Antiphonal?"

Colin,
I don't know if this is what your looking for, but it could be "Call
and Response" form,
Colin,
I don't know if this is what your looking for, but it could be "Call
and Response" form, typical in 'ritual' , 'sub-Saharan' cultures and
other genres. ( it is the 'forerunner' of blues,gospel etc)
