StallbaumerWith this sheet music, you can play "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen on piano!
It's an easy, carefully crafted piano solo arrangement of the beautiful song.
"Hallelujah" makes for an amazing piano ballad that is quite easy to play!
First released by Leonard Cohen on his 1984 album "Various Positions", the song was not a big hit at the beginning, and only gained popularity thanks to cover versions by other artists (most notably John Cale's 1991 tribute, and Jeff Buckley's 1994 recording).
Worldwide interest in the song also increased a lot when it appeared in DreamWorks' 2001 computer-animated film "Shrek". Over time, it became one of the most used songs in film and TV soundtracks, and one of the most recognizable ballads ever written.
"Hallelujah" is frequently performed at various emotional events (from funerals to weddings), and even became used as a Christmas song!
After Leonard Cohen's death in 2016, his original recording entered the American charts for the first time.
It's definitely a piece that should be part of everybody's repertoire.
"Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you dont really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor falls, the major lifts
The baffled king composing Hallelujah..."
