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.

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.
