Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” Carried out by way of a Choir of four,000 Singers

Via­out the years, we’ve fea­tured in line with­for­mances of Choir!Choir!Choir!–a big ama­teur choir from Toron­to that meets week­ly and sings their hearts out. You’ve observed them sing Prince’s “When Doves Cry,” Soundgar­den’s “Black Hollow Solar” (to hon­or Chris Cor­nell), and Pat­ti Smith’s “Peo­ple Have the Pow­er.” Of their lat­est video, they revis­it an outdated favourite: Leonard Cohen’s “Hal­lelu­jah,” a track launched at the 1984 album Var­i­ous Posi­tions. Orig­i­nal­ly over­appeared, Cohen’s “Hal­lelu­jah” has since turn out to be deeply woven into our cul­tur­al fab­ric. Over the last 40 years, some 300 musi­cians have cov­ered “Hal­lelu­jah,” with Jeff Greenback­ley be offering­ing in line with­haps probably the most cel­e­brat­ed ver­sion. Above, you’ll watch 4,000 singers come togeth­er and pay their very own trib­ute to the track. This in line with­for­mance came about remaining 12 months on the Country­al Arts Cen­tre in Ottawa, Cana­da. Revel in!
