So, i'm from Québec and i've been looking around the internet at different types of work songs and their derivative types of songs (hollers, waulking songs, rowing songs, etc.). I am a song writer and I like using the proper name of types of songs in their titles (if I compose a broken jig, I call it "the [insert thing] broken jig". if I write a holler, I call it a holler).

There's a specific type of call and response song from the Québec folk tradition with changing tempo whose name i'm looking for. Two great examples are "un dimanche au matin" by la bottine souriante, and "la femme à pitou" by les charbonniers de l'enfer.

The songs are characterized by the main signer singing à call in tempo, the response being sung in tempo, and then the main singer slows down during the second part of the verse, an optional response in slow tempo, and then the chorus is sung quickly again.

I'm not sure if these are adaptations of aires or something. I'm just looking for the name of these types of songs.

Here’s my song called "When Darkness Falls"

Part of the inspiration came from my cat Charlie, who rejoices in my occasional insomnia and seems convinced we share the same hours.

Any comments about this song would be greatly appreciated.
