Review: Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen, Arranged by Phillip Keveren

I’ve spent years trying to find the perfect piano arrangement of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, and this is it! Philip Keveren always nails his piano arrangements, especially of popular music.

I find that it’s hard to find popular piano music that is a good representation of the original music and is also well-suited for the piano.

Many of my intermediate piano students have enjoyed working through this arrangement, and it’s also one of my favorites to play for fun.

Be sure to watch the video above and you’ll hear that Keveren has a gift for adapting music to the piano so that it’s beautiful, pianistic and satisfying.

This arrangement of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah is available for instant purchase and download on Sheet Music Plus. Click here to access it.
