Answer:

responsorial psalmody.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • When people sing psalms during worshiping then this is called psalmody.
  • Responsorial psalmody is a practice that is being followed since ancient times during which there is a choral refrain after each verse is sung such that is there is an alteration between the cantor chanting and the choir singing.
  • Thus, in this method the verses are sung only by a solo singer however the refrain is sung by the choir.
  • This practice was adopted by the Christian church and has been popularized by them.
