For the most part, all my arrangements are written for 7 voices. The distribution: a bass (to provide bass lines), a vocal percussionist, four part pads (SATB), and a feature soloist. This is the format for just about every one of my charts. In efforts to help you forecast which charts might be feasible given the talent you have to work with, I've developed a system. I don't know the normal one, so here's mine.
For each chart, I'll provide a number between 1 and 10 (1 being the easiest and 10 the most complex). This numbering system will refer to the harmonic and rhythmic content of each arrangement.
Here is a list of the arrangements that are currently available on my site with the corresponding ratings system I've described. To see a preview of the score, click

that long to learn it. Harmony 1 Rhythm 5
Please feel free to peruse all the audio demos. These demos will give you a good feel for whether or not a piece is right for your group. Once you've purchased the arrangement, the complete audio version will be made available to you. If, upon purchasing the arrangement, you find that the recording is a only a demo (as opposed to full length), it's only because that's all I currently have available for that piece. Some of these charts were written for a professional group in my younger days, and at the time we only needed demos to seek representation. But most of the recordings are full length, recorded by Audio Radiance. However, even if you get a full recording, you'll hear that sometimes it comes with a bass player or a drummer, or in some way isn't completely a cappella. For the record, all of these charts are performed by my group live and a cappella.
There are a small handful of arrangements that have yet to be recorded. In cases such as these, the entire score is available for your viewing so that you can play through it yourself if you'd like. To play through them you'll find that they are some of the best I've done.
Please know that I'm always at your beck and call to help you through anything that presents itself as a question mark. I want the chart to come across sterling for you. Nothing less will do!
