Acapella comes from Italy, which mainly refers to cappella without accompaniment, especially harmony. Later, there was professional development. Schubert, for example, wrote cantata operas. Now aca pella usually exists in pop music as a musical element, and more is vocal with accompaniment. Of course, some people do the opposite. Instead of highlighting the human voice, the human voice is more like a musical instrument, such as enya, which many people like. Of course, there are more examples in rock music.

acapella originated from the church, and the harmony of the choir was first called acapella. Firstly, it introduces the episode in the film Spring of Cowboy Class, in memoriam, which was recently broadcast in Shanghai. The boy's harmonious voice interprets acapella's most classical version

1 and in memorial < P >. The second song is an unaccompanied Philippine folk song "kaming mag mamani" by Beijing Spring Wings Female Choir, which translates to selling peanuts. This song vividly shows the scene of vendors carrying burdens and selling peanuts in the streets. The ups and downs of the multi-voice parts not only show the vendor's hard work, but also reflect the vendor's inner joy.

pachelbel canon, which is very familiar to everyone, is one of the more than 1 versions of Pachelbel's Canon. I believe acapella can modify this classic and classical track to bring you a brand-new feeling.

There are few groups featuring acapella in pop music, except for some black groups in the 195s, Manhattan Transit Station which rose in the 197s, and ta ke 6 in the 198s. What everyone is most familiar with is boyz ii men in the 199s. They cover beatles' classic "yesterday", which is a typical work of popular acapella. Here, i will get there, another harmony classic, is selected from the original sound of the Egyptian prince.

Here, I would like to recommend my favorite song "down in the river to pray" by Alison Krauss in the countryside.

Only "versatile" is not enough to describe bobby mcferrin, a unique musician. Since he set foot on the music scene, he has wandered between pop, jazz and classical music, and has achieved unique achievements in all fields. His diversified works combine elements of jazz, folk songs and even world music, and I believe everyone knows a song "don't worry, be happy". As a jazz singer, his greatest skill is his excellent "ventriloquism". He can sing all kinds of voices by himself, and then mix them many times to form a chorus accompanied by Kubinashi. The effect is almost unreal. He can also play ten roles by himself, and perform the complete set of music of The Wizard of Oz in ten minutes.

He is also good at using human voice to talk with musical instruments. Taking human voice as a musical instrument mentioned above is one of his musical expressions, and I think it also belongs to acapella in a broad sense.

He collected a collaboration album hush with Yo Ma. The instruments in the album are basically Yo Ma's cello and bobby's ventriloquism. The combination of human voice and cello is seamless and perfect.

I recommend "stars" in the album, in which the vocal accompaniment is hard to recognize. Close your eyes and listen.
