A cappella
group or solo singing without instrumental sound / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cappella music is music where people sing without instruments.
In a choir, there are up to 5 parts: soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, and bass. A cappella can also have those 5 parts. A difference is with percussion. With musical instruments, percussion is done with musical instruments that you hit, such as drums. In an a cappella performance, a person makes the percussion sound. For a beatbox performance, performers make sounds like electric drums, synthesizer and electric guitar. Another part of percussion in a cappella performance is making classical drum sounds for tapping the beat.
The word a cappella is Italian for "in the manner of the church" or "in the manner of the chapel".[1] It was first used in religious music. Gregorian chant is an example of a cappella singing.
