# A cappella

**A cappella** is a music where people sing without instruments.

In a choir, there are up to 5 parts: soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, and bass. A cappella can also have those 5 parts. A difference is with percussion. With musical instruments, percussion is done with musical instruments that you hit, such as drums. In an a cappella performance, a person makes the percussion sound. For a beatbox performance, performers make sounds like electric drums, synthesizer and electric guitar. Another part of percussion in a cappella performance is making classical drum sounds for tapping the beat.

The word a cappella is Italian for "in the manner of the church" or "in the manner of the chapel". It was first used in religious music. Gregorian chant is an example of a cappella singing.

## History

For the first 1000 years of Christianity, all hymns in the church were sung without instrumental accompaniment. This style of singing came to be known as a cappella, meaning "of the church" or "in the style of the church".

## Genres

There are several kinds of music in a cappella, such as barbershop, classical, contemporary, gospel, doo-wop, jazz, and world.

A **barbershop** group has 4 people. The name of this genre came from the tradition that when many men gathered in a barbershop they would sing with no musical instruments. A barbershop quartet has four male voices or four female voices. **Mixed barbershop** quartets are also possible, usually with two male and two female voices. The voices parts are called bass, baritone, **lead**, and tenor. In music in the barbershop style, the melody (the **"tune"**) is sung by the lead part.

In **classical** a cappella, people perform classical music such as 'a Turkish march', 'Overture William Tell', madrigal, etc.

**Contemporary** is the most popular kind of a cappella these days. For this kind, the "bass" line should be stronger, and the "chorus" (all the singers except for bass, percussion, and solo) should have variety. The percussion should make their sound more like drums. This genre is similar to 'doo-wop' but the "chorus" part is more complex and has a variety of sound effects.

**Doo-wop** is also getting more popular because of its simple style. Even though it has simple moto (Italian for **"progression of music"**), it can be interesting with great vocal and chorus.

**Coordinated Universal Time** (or **UTC**) is the standard time system of the world. It is the standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is, within about 1 second, mean solar time at 0° longitude.

The standard before was Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). UTC and GMT are almost the same. In fact, there is no practical difference which would be noticed by ordinary people.

Some websites, for example Wikipedia, use UTC because it does not make any country look more important than the others. It offers one time for all the Internet (the same time can be used by people all over the world).

Time zones are often named by how many hours they are different from UTC time. For example, UTC−5 (United States east coast) is 5 hours behind UTC. If the time is 07:00 UTC, the local time is 02:00 in New York (UTC−5) and 10:00 in Moscow (UTC+3).

07:00 UTC is also written more simply as 0700Z (or 07:00Z).

Note that UTC uses the 24-hour clock. That means there is no 'AM' or 'PM'. For example, 4:00PM would be 16:00 or 1600. UTC also does not use daylight saving time - that way the time stays consistent the entire year.

# Cadbury

**Cadbury** is a British chocolate company. Since 2010, it has been owned by Mondelez International (originally Kraft Foods).

John Cadbury was a Quaker who sold tea, coffee and drinking chocolate. He opened a grocers shop in 1824. Cadbury developed the business with his brother Benjamin, followed by his sons Richard and George. It quickly became the biggest chocolate maker in the world.

George developed the Bournville estate, a model village designed to give the company's workers improved living conditions. Dairy Milk chocolate, introduced by George Jr in 1905, used more milk in the recipe than rival products. By 1914, it was the company's best-selling product.

Successive members of the Cadbury family have invented new chocolate products. Cadbury, Rowntree's and Fry's were the big three British confectionery manufacturers in the 19th and 20th centuries. Cadbury was granted its first royal warrant from Queen Victoria in 1854. It held a royal warrant from Elizabeth II from 1955 to 2022.

Cadbury merged with J. S. Fry & Sons in 1919. They merged with Schweppes in 1969. It was known as Cadbury Schweppes until 2008, when the American beverage business was split as Dr Pepper Snapple Group. The rights ownership of the Schweppes brand had already been different in various countries since 2006.

In 1992, Sir Adrian Cadbury, chairman of the company for 24 years, produced the Cadbury Report, a code of best practice which served as a basis for reform of corporate governance around the world.

Cadbury was in the FTSE 100 on the London Stock Exchange from when it started in 1984 until the company was bought by Kraft Foods Inc. in 2010.
