Palestinian Hallelujah

This is a beautiful John Bell arrangement of a song from Palestine.

The song has two vocal parts, which are heard in this recording.

The lyrics are simple:

For the higher, melody line:

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu

Hallelujah, hallelu

Hallelujah, hallelu

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu

For the lower, slower moving counter-melody

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Ha—aallelujah, ha—aallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

The shruti setting for this song would be G (with a D above it if the shruti you’re using allows).

Here also is some sheet music for instrumental accompaniment.

Flute

Violin

Viola
