HALLELUJAH

 

Last December 2022, I was invited to a dinner in which Andrea Bocelli and his daughter performed. Among the many songs they sang was Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen. Their performance was celestial, The song stack with me for several days until I had the time to make my own arrangement in the piano the way i felt it. The song was quite a challenge to play because it was made for vocalists and consisted of many repetitive verses with different lyrics, so I had to play each verse with sufficient variations in order to make it interesting. I incorporated a violin and a Choir and played every verse different from the other, including increasing the melody two tones at the end. I had a lot of fun making the arrangement and I sincerely hope that you like it.
