Built on the model of the best-selling Teaching Music Through Performance series, this volume includes chapters on the most important issues in teaching and learning contemporary a cappella along with analysis and insights for 82 works across the genres, including barbershop, contemporary a cappella, 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, performing group, or TV or movie series, such as repertoire from The Sing-Off, Pitch Perfect, The Real Group, Sweet Adelines, and Pentatonix. Of course, every selection - regardless of musical style - is performed a cappella. There is simply no better way to find and prepare the best contemporary a cappella literature available or to achieve excellence in music education at all levels. This is a groundbreaking volume destined to make a significant contribution.
