ARRANGING
Harry is an experienced and award-winning arranger. His arrangements for voices are particularly sought after, and have been heard many times at the International Competition of Collegiate A Cappella. He is regularly commissioned to write for professional, collegiate, high school and amateur vocal ensembles in the UK and USA, and has had performances in a wide range of venues.
Harry is comfortable with arranging in pop, jazz and folk styles, and with or without vocal percussion. You can find a full list of his stock a cappella arrangements here.
