Line singing????????

Question

One person sings a line. The group of people with him/her reapeats the same line but they stretch it out. And it is NOT singing in rounds. It's like old timey hymn type music. And it is done accapella. Can anyone help me figure out what it is called so I can look it up so my girlfriend can hear it? It IS done with religious music and I have never heard it done with music with it...just accapella.

Answer 1

I think you might be referring to Sacred Harp or shape-note singing? See webpages below:
