A cappella (Italian for "in the manner of the church" or "in the manner of the chapel", also see gospel music and choir) music is specifically solo or group singing without instrumental sound, or a piece intended to be performed in this way. It contrasts with cantata, which is accompanied singing. A cappella was originally intended to differentiate between Renaissance polyphony and Baroque concertato style. In the 19th century a renewed interest in Renaissance polyphony coupled with an ignorance of the fact that vocal parts were often doubled by instrumentalists led to the term coming to mean unaccompanied vocal music. Today, a cappella also includes sample/loop "vocal only" productions by producers like Jimmy Spice Curry, Teddy Riley, Björk, Imogen Heap, Wyclef Jean and others.
A cappella music originally was, and still often is, used in religious music, especially church music as well as anasheed and zemirot. Gregorian chant is an example of a cappella singing, as is the majority of secular vocal music from the Renaissance. The madrigal, up until its development in the early Baroque into an instrumentally-accompanied form, is also usually in a cappella form. Jewish and Christian music were originally a cappella, and this tradition has existed continuously in both of these religions as well as in Islam.

Ariana Grande Dangerous Woman A Cappella Reaction
I knew a song that played in me
It seems I've lost the melody
So, please, Lord
Give it back to me
Yeah, please Lord
Give it back to me
Years in the desert with no drink
Strike a rock, make it bleed
And, please, Lord
Give it back to me
Yeah, please Lord
Give it back to me
If you blow on the embers
The light will shine on my face
The streams will run in the desert
And sing amazing grace
You're everywhere in everytime
And yet you're so damn hard to find
So, please, Lord
I don't wanna aside
No, please, Lord
I don't wanna aside
I need your breath on the embers
I need the light on my face
I need the streams in the desert
That sing amazing grace, that sing amazing grace
