Summary

This book contains a cappella repertoire and rehearsal techniques, compiled and edited by educators committed to demystifying the genre and providing teachers with access to the best repertoire and pedagogy possible. Build on the model of the Teaching through performance series, this volume includes chapters on issues in teaching and learning contemporary a cappella, and analysis and insights for 82 works across genres: barbershop, contemporary acapella, doo-wop, folk/classical, and vocal jazz. The list of composers and arrangers is diverse; the repertoire includes both arrangements and original compositions. Each selection is representative of a major a cappella trend or historical event. The authors also develop a five point difficulty scale for evaluating literature, and each guide contains detailed information about the arrangement or composition, and the styles it represents.
