This is another arrangement for solo guitar, but this time the music is by Leonard Cohen (1934-2016). He was a multitalented Canadian artist (poet, novelist and song-writer). He's an inductee to the Rock and Roll's Hall of Fame (2008) and won a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010. The song Hallelujah took approximately five years to write and was completed in 1984. It won it's global recognition thanks to covers by John Cale, K.D. Lang (the 2010 Vancouver Olympics opening ceremony performance has 3.8M views on YouTube), and Jeff Buckley's interpretation is considered to be the definitive version of Hallelujah. The time signature is 6/8 and is in the key of C with a brief modulation to the relative minor right before the chorus.
