A Cappella, music created solely with voices, has been trending in the 21st century with shows and movies such as Glee and Pitch Perfect but this art has dated to way back before the 12th century.
A Cappella music originated in the 15th century and was mainly sung in churches (replacing instruments that were not accepted by society) as a form of worship. (A Cappella is Italian for “in the manner of the church”.) But as the years went by, instruments did not have any negative cognitive, so instruments slowly began to be incorporated into the church.
Since the 15th century, a cappella music has expanded into different areas of the world and cultures. This style has been adapted into musical theatre and college a cappella groups, which are hot and trending now. Many college a capella groups, like the FIT Skyliners, come together to compete against each other. Television shows and movies, such as Glee and Pitch Perfect, have also been produced based off of this new trend and many people have become fans of these productions.
A Cappella music has truly grown and been interpreted into many different styles, from a traditional style sung mainly in Renaissance churches, to media productions and college campuses. As the FIT Skyliners continue to expand and contribute to this new trend, the appreciation for this music will continue to grow as well.
