Throughout the years, we’ve featured performances of Choir!Choir!Choir!–a large amateur choir from Toronto that meets weekly and sings their hearts out. You’ve seen them sing Prince’s “When Doves Cry,” Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” (to honor Chris Cornell), and Patti Smith’s “People Have the Power.” In their latest video, they revisit an old favorite: Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” a song released on the 1984 album Various Positions. Originally overlooked, Cohen’s “Hallelujah” has since become deeply woven into our cultural fabric. Over the past 40 years, some 300 musicians have covered “Hallelujah,” with Jeff Buckley offering perhaps the most celebrated version. Above, you can watch 4,000 singers come together and pay their own tribute to the song. This performance took place last year at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, Canada. Enjoy!

If people only took time to listen to all of Leonard Cohen’s beautiful interesting song they wouldnt love each one a much as Hallelujah and the whole world would be singing Last Years Man, Suzzanne, Joan of Arc and Famous Blue Raincoat!
This was truly a beautiful rendition of the song. However, with so many voices singing at one time, you can barely understand the words I prefer to listen to the Pentatonix song they sing it totally a cappella you can understand every word. And they make their own music in a truly wonderful way
I so agree with you
I thought it was cool
I was in many choirs over the years-church and school-and though I don’t have the voice that I used to anymore (I’m 71yo) I would love to sing and absorbed within a choir such as this. It would be joyful !!!
Thanks for sharing your voices with me. It made my night. Did you make a CD? You all should try on America’s got talent. God bless you all.
So incredibly beautiful. My heart holds this song and my tears back it up. I love the many voices like a herald of angels. Makes me want to get to Heaven sooner. Oh how I wish I had the gift of singing. God saw otherwise. He gave me the gift of writing poetry and books. We all have a gift given by God. Some people never realize it.If you are one of those people, just ask God to reveal it to you.
Ur such beautiful souls and soon very proud of you. Ur my heros!¡
I gifted & surprised 2 of my 3 daughters a couple of years ago to sing with Choir Choir Choir. They loved the experience. It is amazing the talent to be successful in joining this many beautiful souls singing in unison.
Just wonderful! Amazing! Moving! Thank you!
