This page was started while I was in college, when my a cappella groups couldn’t find any good contemporary arrangements that we could afford. There’s only so many times you can perform “Mr. Sandman,” you know? So I taught myself how to arrange and then decided to give away all of my work for free to help other groups get off the ground.
Each song is linked to a zipfile containing MIDI files, Cakewalk 9.0 work files, and Adobe Acrobat PDF files of the scores. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print the scores on this site. This is a free utility available for download from the Adobe web site. To download, simply right-click on the link and choose ’save as’. If you have a problem downloading any of these, just email me and I will gladly send you the files you need. I will not print out/snail mail/fax arrangements to you. All arrangments have been manually re-scanned as of March, 2006.
All the arrangements on this site are free - you may perform or record them without having to seek written permission, however, please note that I retain the right to use any recordings of those arrangements arranged by myself for the enhancement of this a cappella arrangements resource. It would make me very happy if your group would send me an mp3 recording. Some of the arrangements here were donated by other folks who wanted to help new groups - their names are on each score. If you donated an arrangement in the past and you no longer wish to have it listed here, please let me know. If you would like to donate an arrangement to the site, feel free to mail it to me at P.O. Box 998, Missoula, MT 59806, and I will scan and post it.
I encourage you to consider a membership with with the Contemporary A Cappella Society if you aren’t already a member.
All arrangements are SATB unless otherwise noted.

Great job, Kit. There are so many a cappella arrangements out there… but they are all on different sites and many of the links are broken. This is a great resource, I wish more people thought like you!
