Customized a cappella arrangements
for your ensemble
I have been arranging contemporary a cappella for over 18 years and have over a hundred arrangements under my belt. My pieces have been performed in stadiums, on national television, and hundreds of venues around the country. Whether you're looking for a tried-and-true arrangement from the archive, or a completely customized and unique piece for your a cappella group/choir, you've come to the right place. Contact me for details.
Tried & True ArrangementsProven to WorkEvery Tried & True arrangement has already been performed by high school, college, and/or professional a cappella group, including successful performances in showcases, contests, and competitions of all types. They just work.
Realistically Accessible for Actual HumansStephen's a cappella arrangements are arranged to be extremely singable for almost any ensembles' voice type and range. Careful consideration is put into tesssitura for vocal comfort and syllable choice to best emulate the flavor of the original song. Solos are notated to offer guidance to the soloist while they explore their interpretation of the song.
Competative PricingFor $150, you get a PDF of the piece as well as MP3 practice tracks of all the voice parts for rehearsal purposes. Contact me for a free sample of any of the pieces listed at the bottom of this page.

Custom ArrangementsA Perfect FitEven after your arrangement is "done", I am more than happy to continue tweaking it to meet your groups' needs (even into the rehearsal process). Bass part too low? I'll rewrite it. Need it in a new key? I'll transpose it. Rhythms to complex? I'll simplify it. Your satisfaction is guaranteed -- I wouldn't have it any other way.
Communication is KeyKeep in touch with me through drafts of your piece, and through inquiry and communication, I'll make sure the final arrangement gets into your groups hands in a perfected final state in a timely manner.
Get There FirstChoose any song, tell me about your ensemble, select your voicing (SATB, SSATB, TTBB, SSAT, etc.), and for $350 you can expect the sheet music to be in your hands -- along with rehearsal tracks of all parts -- within 3 to 4 weeks.
