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 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.
