Anonymous 4: Live on Soundcheck
Anonymous 4 (not to be confused with anonymous or 4chan) lies at one end of the Acapella vocal spectrum. They are a classical groupd best known for their renditions of Medieval music.
And at the other end of the acapella vocals movement is this Russian group.
A'Cappella ExpreSSS "Hit the Road, Jack ". Moscow Vocal Group
Whatever your particular cup of tea I think we all have to agree that both groups sing beautifully and deliver their material.

Another side of A'Cappella Express.
"A'Cappella ExpreSSS" - concert in "Moscow International Music House" - 2009
It's The Beatles done acapella in a more traditional arrangement than their ultra hip "Hit The Road Jack". I guess since it's The Beatles it's automatically hip. (At least that's how I feel about it.)
Watch out for that ending.
And for a completely different take from Anonymous 4.
Anonymous 4 - Shall We Gather at the River
One more from each group.
Anonymous 4 - Wayfaring Stranger - Gloryland
A'cappella ExpreSSS. Middle of the River
I am singing in the Astate Delta Vox, the Jazz and Pop Vocals group at Arkansas State University this term and one of the singers in the group brought in "Hit The Road Jack" by A'Cappella ExpreSSS and we are taking inspiration from it to do our own arrangement.
And tonight at the Fowler Center on the ASU Campus I am going to hear Anonymous 4. So I'm looking forward to a good day.
It's Springtime in February and there's music in the air.
Thanks,
