The roots of unaccompanied vocal music stretch all the way back to the Gregorian chants of the Middle Ages, and collegiate a cappella singing is more than a century old. But what was once largely an Ivy League phenomenon has, in the past 20 years, spread to high schools and colleges across the country. Now a major motion picture, Pitch Perfect is the inspiring, triumphant, hilarious and heartbreaking story of the quest for collegiate a cappella glory. Featuring championship ensembles, it chronicles the musical and personal challenges associated with their success in competition. This is a fascinating book for the choral director or student musician who aspires to greatness in the rewarding discipline of a cappella singing!
