Leonard Cohen's beautiful 'Hallelujah' carefully transcribed for cello or lower string ensemble. This arrangement is written for four cellos with an optional double bass part, but you could also omit cello 2 to form a cello trio. The cello 1 part has tenor clef in it (approx. Grade 6 standard), but there is an ossia for the highest section written an octave lower. The arrangement has a gentle sound, but the arpeggio cello 3 part is reminiscent of the Jeff Buckley version. This is a tried and tested arrangement perfect for schools, arranged by professional cellist, arranger and teacher Dury Loveridge.

This arrangement of Coldplay's Viva la Vida for cello ensemble was originally created for a Boulder Cello Project collaboration with Chase the Music. An 11-page score and four separate two-page cello parts are included. It can be played by groups as small as a quartet and works best with at least two cellists per part.

The thick texture of a cello ensemble is offset with driving articulated rhythms to bring vibrant energy to this piece that can only be offered by strings. In concert settings, optionally add driving bass drum quarter notes throughout, slightly ahead of the beat. Duration is approximately 4:05 at the indicated tempo.
