English term

Partner Songs

English to Spanish Art/Literary Music
It is part of an elementary school curriculum, part of the arts and music component. The entire paragraph says:

"Vocal technique: Perform partner songs and descants, ensemble performance, diction and expression."

Now, wikipedia defines partner songs as "two different songs that have a similar harmonic structure and length, so they may be sung together." So I understand the concept, but I still don't know if there is an accepted term for it in Spanish. Can anyone help?

Thank you in advance!

Como se apunta en la primera de estas fuentes, el término clásico para este fenómeno es quodlibet:

"In a simultaneous quodlibet, two or more pre-existing melodies are combined. The simultaneous quodlibet may be considered a historical antecedent to the modern-day musical mashup."

Thank you, John! As the English composer William Byrd put it in 1588: "Since Singing is so good a thing, I wish all men would learn to sing" :-)

melodías similares

It doesn´t ring a bell on me. In lack of a better approach from any other peer I would bet on "melodías similares". Un saludo.

canciones de acompañamiento

Esta puede ser una posibilidad, tomando en cuenta que "partner" es compañero.
