A Cappella Arranging 2.0 cover

In this highly anticipated sequel to A Cappella Arranging, Deke Sharon and Dylan Bell provide even more tools and insights to help musicians master the craft of a cappella arranging—including new creative principles and theoretical techniques to expand the palate, as well as arranging in various musical genres spanning several decades of music.

Since the publication of the original book in 2012, a cappella as a genre has grown enormously. Using conversational yet instructive tone, A Cappella Arranging 2.0: The Next Level picks up where the previous book left off, helping people deepen their a cappella arranging skills. In four parts, the book addresses a variety of topics including:

  • The creative process
  • An advanced understanding of vocal ranges
  • Counterpoint and polyphony
  • Harmonic concepts and techniques
  • Arranging for the studio
  • Live looping arrangements
  • Instrumental idioms
  • Arranging in different styles, including world styles
  • Medleys and mashups

This is the perfect resource for taking a cappella arrangements to the next level.
