What is Voices Only?
Voices Only, founded in 2004, is an annual two-disc collegiate a cappella compilation album comprised of selected excellent tracks released by various collegiate groups from around the World. Produced by acclaimed a cappella performer, arranger, reviewer, writer, judge and producer Corey Slutsky, a new Voices Only album is produced and released each fall at the beginning of each school year, and includes songs recorded, mastered or released during the previous year. Groups who have appeared on the compilation include such acclaimed and award-winning ensembles as the Dartmouth Aires, USC Sirens, Duke Pitchforks, Tufts Beelzebubs and Stanford Harmonics.
Voices Only includes not just the "best" a cappella tracks, but the best mix of songs, each chosen for a different and specific reason (including soloists, production, arrangements, innovation, etc.).
What is a cappella?
A cappella music is vocal music or singing without instrumental accompaniment, or a piece intended to be performed in this way. A cappella is Italian for like in the chapel (music); the term is due to restrictions on the use of instruments in medieval churches.
