An example how you write it:


If that isn't what you mean, you should explain yourself better.

Are you working with vocals and need to structure melodies around it, or vice-versa? Either way, you'd need to learn about harmonization.

all the different parts in an acapella songs

All 'acapella' means in itself is singing unaccompanied by instruments.
We see one member showing a score that is 'part-written', four parts kind of old school.
For my part I realize it's a trend.

There's some kind of fad today where people say 'acapella songs'? Who knows. Doesn't mean anything to me, because again the word itself only does one thing, indicate there's no instruments, only vocals.

Yeah, it could be a Gregorian Chant a barbershop quartet or Ligeti's Lux Aeterna.

Ligeti's Lux Aeterna.

Hadn't heard that in ages. I'd forgotten about it. Thanks!
