English term or phrase: interval of a third (fourth)
Nowadays, homophony is the prevailing style in different Lithuanian regions. Usually, one singer performs the leading part while the rest of a group adds the lower “background” part, thereby making dyads of thirds, fourths, or fifths with the leading part, according to the functional harmony. Both “high” and “low” male singing is common.

This means that, in the case of a mixed (male and female) ensemble, male singers add either an interval of a third (fourth, fifth...) or tenth (eleventh, twelfth...) below the leading female voice. The homophonic multipart singing in Dzūkija features both major-like and minor-like modes. In the other regions, a major-like mode is common.
