Hallelujah sheet music

Hallelujah is a shared title rather than a single work on this page. The scores collected here include a two-cello or cello-and-bass arrangement credited to Leonard Cohen, a four-voice Hallelujah Chorus credited to George Frideric Handel, and a one-part piano score credited to PC Chin. Because the same word serves different pieces, the composer and scoring are the most reliable way to find the version you need.

Match the composer and scoring

Start with the credited composer: Leonard Cohen, George Frideric Handel and PC Chin appear on different Hallelujah scores here. Then check the scoring, since the page includes two cello parts, a four-voice SATB layout and a single piano part. A title search alone will not separate these pieces.

What the selected scores show

The Leonard Cohen entry is set for Cello 1 and Cello 2 and opens with no sharps or flats in 6/8 at 80 BPM. The Hallelujah Chorus credited to Handel is laid out for soprano, alto, tenor and bass, opening with two sharps in 4/4 at 110 BPM. The PC Chin piano score opens with no sharps or flats in 6/8 at 70 BPM. These details describe the scores shown, not necessarily the original versions of the works.

Read the labels with care

One Hallelujah Chorus listing is associated with Leonard Cohen as artist and with the folk genre, even though the score credits Handel as composer. Another score uses 'easy' in its title without a verified grade. Treat composer, scoring and the music itself as stronger guides than a genre tag or a descriptive word in the title.

Does 'Hallelujah (easy)' mean the piano score is for beginners?

The word 'easy' appears in one piano score's title, but no difficulty grade is verified here. The score has a single piano part and opens in 6/8 at 70 BPM; the music itself is the best guide to whether it suits a particular player.
