Spirituals Choral Arrangements
Spirituals are the Southern sacred "folk" songs created and first sung by African Americans during slavery. Their original composers are unknown, and they have assumed a position of collective ownership by the whole community. They lend themselves easily to communal singing. Many are in a call-and-response structure, with back-and-forth exchanges between the leader and the group. A formal concert tradition has evolved from the original spirituals, with solo and choral arrangements based on original slave melodies, employed for performance by amateur and professional artists.

Motet Arrangements
A polyphonic vocal style of composition. The motet was popular in the middle ages, when it consisted of a tenor foundation upon which other tunes were added. The texts of these voices could be sacred or secular, Latin or French, and usually had little to do with each other, with the result that the composition lacked unity and direction. During the 14th century, isorhythm came into use and other rhythmic refinements, somewhat unifying the sound and texture of the motet.

Classical Composers Choral Arrangements
Although often known for their orchestral and instrumental compositions many of the great classical composers also created chorals both as accompaniment for their works but also as separate, often a cappella, compositions.
Early Music Arrangements
Humans love of singing has been demonstrated from the very beginning of our history and was one of the first musical styles to be formalized with songs and written music. From Gregorian chant and mediaeval music thru the Renaissance there was great emphasis on the human voice and the songs were often sung a cappella. Although challenging this style of singing can be a lot of fun and every choir and ensemble should have some of these time-tested songs in their repertoire.
20th Century Choral Composers Arrangements
During the first two decades of the twentieth century, composers were presented with more stylistic options than at any previous time. The two world wars had profound impact on choral music. Composers were influenced, in some way, by these events and, as the century progressed, they incorporated into their own music the various techniques pioneered during the first two decades of the century.
