A Cappella Arranging

Designed to be the first-ever 'definitive book' on the subject, A Cappella Arranging covers every conceivable facet of arranging for voices. Learn directly from the masters as they guide you though the 10 Steps to Writing an Arrangement. Discover the inside tricks and techniques used by the pros. Explore new strategies for enhancing the creative process and creative problem-solving.

A Cappella Arranging is written for anyone interested in vocal music: beginning arrangers, seasoned arrangers and producers, vocal groups of any type and skill level, students of vocal music, and even music fans interested in a behind-the-scenes look at how a cappella music is made. Techniques in the book are brought alive through notated and recorded examples, including arrangements from the Nylons, Cadence, Committed, and the hit TV series The Sing-Off. A Cappella Arranging allows the reader to get 'under the hood' of a great vocal chart, to see and hear firsthand how the music is made.

Equal parts informative and entertaining, A Cappella Arranging is an ideal text for postsecondary institutions, and a must-have for any a cappella arranger, singer, and fan.
