2. What two word phrase, derived from Italian, means to sing without accompaniment?

Answer: A Cappella

A cappella can mean from the chapel or from the choir but, as we know it, it means to sing without instruments. Some religions feel that musical instruments are sinful and therefore their choirs sing "a cappella". A barbershop quartet is a common example of singing without accompaniment.
