(W. A. Mozart) (Level 5) SSAATTBB a cappella. It was an interesting challenge to arrange this wonderful overture for eight voices. My group has often used it to open a concert. Of course it is very difficult but quite a few choirs have managed to master it. I think it works equally well on or off mikes, as long as a proper balance is maintained among the voices.

BACH-APELLA AND CLASSICS During the past few years the Swingle Singers have been performing more of their concerts a cappella. I have arranged some of the early classical pieces and many of my recent arrangements to be sung without instrumental accompaniment. All Swingle octavos are sold as singles not in packs of 16.
