A Cappella



Arrangements

Here are the a cappella arrangements I have done so far. If your a cappella group would like to use one, you are welcome to as long as you (1) ask me first, (2) give me credit, and (3) give the Honorable Menschen and Rhythm & Jews first dibs on the song in any joint concerts. I don't do arrangements-by-request, but if you'd like a particular song professionally arranged, I recommend asking Loren Shevitz.
