Let's find this word in the dictionary.

Originally, making an transcription means:

An example: the phonetic symbols in the dictonary are a transcription of the original word.

The (linguistic) term transcription can easily be applied to music. Transcribing then becomes:

On this website you'll only find transcriptions of (a cappella) songs of vocalgroups. If you'd review my background, you can see why.

I've got a three-part goal in making and publishing transcriptions:

• evoke interest in and stimulation of the making of transcriptions
• making available (and discuss) of transcriptions
• provide clear info on the vocalgroups

So why would you transcribe?

• a cappella harmonies are hauntingly beautiful!
• why does an arranger chose for that specific chord at that time?
• why does one group sound so homogeneous, while the other does not?
• I want to know how those fantastic chords are built, and if I could use them in my arrangements!

These are just a few reasons to trigger the creation of the ‘engine room' in which we eventually can ‘take a peek'.

Beware!
I want to emphasize the learning aspect. It is not permitted to perform the transcriptions publicly - for reasons of copyright!!
