From 1984 to 1994 it was awarded as Best Arrangement on an Instrumental
From 1995 to 2014 it was again awarded as Best Instrumental Arrangement
From 2015 it has been awarded as Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella, which also includes vocal arrangements for a cappella performances.^[1]

Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were presented, for works released in the previous year.
