Hallelujah Variations | Anderson & Roe Piano Duo
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 апр 2020
- A cult classic originally released in 1984, Leonard Cohen’s most well-known song-covered by numerous artists, including legends like Bob Dylan, Bono, and Jeff Buckley (whose sublime version may be our personal favorite)-is a meditation on the elusive nature of love and the search for atonement. The lyrics contain emotional multitudes in their complexity, and the meaning of “hallelujah” itself seems to shift throughout the song, alternating between despair, yearning, ecstasy, and praise; it emerges as a call that is not solely religious, but profoundly human. As Cohen himself said:
“This world is full of conflicts... of things that cannot be reconciled, but there are moments when we can transcend the dualistic system and reconcile and embrace the whole mess, and that's what I mean by ‘Hallelujah.’ ...That's the only moment that we live here fully as human beings.”
In creating our set of variations, we were influenced by the late works of Beethoven and Schubert, who both were masters at unearthing an almost otherworldly transcendence amid human struggle.

I saw the duo perform this live at Brigham Young University a few months ago. It was my favorite piece of the concert. I'm glad I can enjoy it again - virtuosic, rich, and powerful.
Absolutely stunning, and appropriate for the times we are living.
This is could be the 3rd movement of Beethoven’s Op. 111. Stunning and uplifting. Masterfully crafted and performed. Congratulations.
Carlos Márquez There are whole swathes of this that are reminiscent of 111, in the best possible way.
Var 8 is the most direct example, I guess :)
It's impossible to increase the 2nd movement of op. 111. Beethoven knew that.
“This world is full of conflicts... of things that cannot be reconciled, but there are moments when we can transcend the dualistic system and reconcile and embrace the whole mess, and that's what I mean by ‘Hallelujah.’ ...That's the only moment that we live here fully as human beings.” And to this I say "AMEN"
I listened this piece of duo hundreds of times. The video is very nice too.
Perfection beyond description
Wow, thank you!
Tear-jerkingly beautiful. Thank you for all you have done over the years.
GORGEOUS!! and incredibly powerful....
Wonderful you two. simply wonderful.
Beautiful!
Variation 8 at 7:22 is breathtaking. Giving new insight into the 111th and achieving such a startling shift in your compositional gravitas and ambition with this piece. The secondary line at 7:56 is so beautiful, maybe even more beautiful than the primary one. Congratulations to both of you.
Beautiful; thank you both for sharing.
Wow, so amazing. I may just start meditating to this every day.
Absolutely breathtaking. Your music always puts the biggest smile on my face.

It was a play of sounds and scenery, my senses couldn't decide
Which to be attentive to
Till my heart settled the race
My ears accompanied my eyes
While two stars singing
And a quarter of the Moon
Listening
Day 1000 of this heavenly cover not being on Spotify :(
This is absolutely beautiful! "Hallelujah? is one of my favorite songs, and this arrangement provides an entirely new perspective while retaining the poignant essence of the original. I would love to perform this with my duo partner!
I totally agree!
Sublime music and scenery (filmed in my home state). I also appreciate the very well-written and insightful analysis and forward -Greg, was that you? I’m sure we’ll hear this latest diamond in future live concerts.
I know I've commented this like 3-4 times... Please post this on Spotify 🥺
It is!
Absolutely beautiful! One of your best ever-this was the highlight of my week! Will you release the track/music video on Spotify and iTunes in the future?
That's the plan!
