A Cappella - What is it?

Let's talk about a cappella music. A cappella music is music sung without any accompaniment. What does that mean? It means that the only instrument you hear is a voice or a group of voices.

Have you heard of Barber Shop Quartets? These groups usually sing four part harmony without any instrument accompanying them. It might be fun to look up about Barber Shop Quartets and where and how they got their start.

A cappella music was originally used in religious services. The Gregorian chant is an example. Listen to some Gregorian chants. Even though you might not understand their language can you tell what they are singing about and how it makes them feel?

Take time to investigate a cappella music. Maybe even write your own a cappella song.
