Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen/arr. Michael Brown

Young Concert Band - Grade 3
Written by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen back in the '80s, this powerful song has reached almost legendary status with its frequent usage in TV and movies. Recorded by such diverse artists as Bob Dylan, Bon Jovi and Justin Timberlake, it was also used in the first Shrek movie and most recently during the 2010 Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Vancouver. Here is a terrific setting for band by Michael Brown.

Ich spiele Klarinette in einem Orchester (9. Klasse, Gymnasium) und immer wenn ich in diesem Stück mitspiele, bekomme ich Gänsehaut. Als ich das erste Mal noch ziemlich eingeschüchtert in dieser Band mitspielen durfte, habe ich nach den ersten Takten aufgehört zu spielen, es klang so wunderschön. Mein Musiklehrer hat mich angelächelt und ich hätte fast angefangen, zu weinen.

Das Stück, rührt mich immer wieder fast zu Tränen. 🥹❤

I love the clarinet part of this arrangement, so lovely

[fifi]

The brass section did a really good job of answering the upper woodwinds at measure 29. The brass also did a nice job of keeping the sound balanced.

People ask me what the best thing in the world is. I respond with, "There is nothing more magnificent than french horn dissonance." <3

we play halleluja in our youth orchestra and it sounds even better if you can hear it from real musicians, because you can really feal the emotions they and we feel...😍 beautiful song

I saw all the bands at my little brothers school come together and play this to say goodbye to the departing 8th graders.

i played this song this past year for my 8th grade pops concert, i was bass clarinet and absolutely loved the song, especially since i had a cool little melody at measure 16. (it can be just barely heard in this video)
