Top-Tier A Cappella Chart
For a professional a cappella group, this arrangement of 'Africa' is a winner. Philip Lawson delivers a faithful and rich SATTBB chart, complete with excellent harmonies and vocal effects that capture the original's vibe perfectly. It's gig-ready for skilled ensembles, offering a solid 5-minute performance piece. The 16-page octavo is well-presented for quick reads.

Masterful A Cappella Vocal Coaching Material
As a vocal coach, I find this SATTBB a cappella arrangement of 'Africa' by Philip Lawson to be superb. It offers rich vocal texture and intricate voice-leading that is excellent for developing ensemble cohesion. Each part is thoughtfully crafted, providing ample opportunity to work on blend, dynamics, and vocal character. An outstanding piece for any serious vocal group.

Engaging Arrangement for Advanced Choirs
This Philip Lawson arrangement of Toto's 'Africa' is a fantastic teaching tool for intermediate to advanced a cappella choirs. The SATTBB voicing and varied vocal effects offer excellent opportunities to work on blend, intonation, and rhythmic precision. While challenging, the clear engraving (standard Hal Leonard Octavo) makes it accessible for students developing complex choral skills.

So Fun to Sing Toto's 'Africa'!
I absolutely love singing this arrangement of Toto's 'Africa' with my community choir! It's such an iconic pop song, and Philip Lawson's a cappella version is incredibly fun, with those great harmonies. It's definitely an enjoyable challenge for adult learners, making us sound fantastic and really capturing the spirit of the original. Highly recommend for a dedicated group!

Amazingly fun!
My high school vocal ensemble sang this for our spring concert, and it was by far our favorite selection. If you have a smaller ensemble with more female singers than males, you may consider dividing the Soprano, Alto, and Tenor I parts equally among the females and the Tenor II, Bass I, and Bass II parts evenly among the males.

This arrangement was a little difficult to get started with a non-audition community choir, but having a little patience in the beginning was worth it. If's enjoyable to sing and to hear.
