antiphonal

[Greek, opposite voice]

A performance style that involves the use of two or more choirs  that answer each other as well as sing as a single ensemble. The choirs are often located in different parts of the church or concert location so the audience experiences the separation of sound from each of the choirs when not performing as a single ensemble. Also called polychoral.
