A Broken Hallelujah

 

Liel Leibovitz

 Dans la guerre froide – la révolte et son double

Rock, soul, reggae et autres musiques

“Chercher des indices ailleurs, parmi des énumérations de faits et gestes ou dans les détails d’histoi­­r­­es d’amour ou encore les imbroglios familiaux, c’est présumer que l’œuvre d’un artiste n’est qu’une scène sur laquelle se jouerait un drame plus important. C’est penser qu’il y a un Rosebud, un moment clé qui explique tout et qu’il finira par surgir si l’on creuse suffisamment. Ce n’est pas une démarche très gratifiante, surtout lorsque le sujet d’étude est un chanteur et un poète dont les mots, un peu comme le chant des moines grégoriens, semblent destinés à attirer l’attention d’une puissance supérieure.“

Suzanne, So Long, Marianne, Everybody Knows… Leonard Cohen est une icône, le maître d’œuvre d’une musique hors du temps. Pour retracer son parcours, Liel Leibovitz invente un nouveau genre de biographie, entre exégèse et exploration spirituelle d’une vie.

Né dans une famille juive canadienne, Leonard Cohen sera poète puis musicien, de Montréal à l’île grecque d’Hydra, du Chelsea Hotel au monastère du Mont Baldy. Il embrassera la poésie de García Lorca, l’érotisme, le judaïsme et le bouddhisme zen, dans une quête de sens perpétuelle.

Liel Leibovitz retourne aux sources de l’inspiration de Leonard Cohen et, par une approche critique originale, en suit les transformations successives. Ayant eu accès aux 140 cartons de ses archives personnelles conservées à l’université de Toronto, Leibovitz s’appuie sur des lettres, des notes, des témoignages de proches et livre même des extraits inédits d’un roman : Ballet of Lepers.

Dans les thèmes prophétiques de sa musique, souvent emplie de visions pessimistes et apocalyptiques, dans son humour ravageur aussi, il parvient à déceler des facettes méconnues et parfois provocantes du chanteur.

C’est un portrait vivant, à la fois érudit et émouvant d’une personnalité fascinante, une odyssée habitée par le pouvoir des mots et la grâce des notes de guitare.

Traduit de l’anglais par Silvain Vanot.

Über den Autor und weitere Mitwirkende

Liel Leibovitz is the author/co-author of four books that include The Chosen Peoples (Simon & Schuster, 2010) with Todd Gitlin, and with Matthew Miller Lili Marlene: The Soldiers‘ Song of WWII (Norton, 2009) and Fortunate Sons: The 120 Chinese Boys who Came to America, Went to School, and Revolutionized an Ancient Civilization (Norton, 2011). Leibovitz is assistant professor of Communications at New York University and an editor at Tablet: The online magazine of Jewish life and culture.

In this philosophical biography, Liel Leibovitz looks at what it is that makes musician/philosopher/poet Leonard Cohen an enduring international figure in the cultural imagination. Born into a Canadian religious Jewish family, for years a reclusive lyricist on the Greek island of Hydra, known for his bold political commentary, his devotion to Buddhist thought and his later despair over contemporary Zionism, Cohen hardly follows the rules of a conventional rock star. Yet the prophetic themes of his music, often filled with pessimism and apocalyptic visions, prove redemptive to an audience that spans generations, from those who listened in the 1960’s to today. As Leonard Cohen requires, this is a passionate and personal evocation of a man who appeals to the inner spirit of his fervent followers

Why is it that Leonard Cohen receives the sort of reverence we reserve for a precious few living artists? Why are his songs, three or four decades after their original release, suddenly gracing the charts, blockbuster movie sound tracks, and television singing competitions? And why is it that while most of his contemporaries are either long dead or engaged in uninspired nostalgia tours, Cohen is at the peak of his powers and popularity?

These are the questions at the heart of A Broken Hallelujah, a meditation on the singer, his music, and the ideas and beliefs at its core. Granted extraordinary access to Cohen s personal papers, Liel Leibovitz examines the intricacies of the man whose performing career began with a crippling bout of stage fright, yet who, only a few years later, tamed a rowdy crowd on the Isle of Wight, preventing further violence; the artist who had gone from a successful world tour and a movie star girlfriend to a long residency in a remote Zen retreat; and the rare spiritual seeker for whom the principles of traditional Judaism, the tenets of Zen Buddhism, and the iconography of Christianity all align. The portrait that emerges is that of an artist attuned to notions of justice, lust, longing, loneliness, and redemption, and possessing the sort of voice and vision commonly reserved only for the prophets.

More than just an account of Cohen s life, A Broken Hallelujah is an intimate look at the artist that is as emotionally astute as it is philosophically observant. Delving into the sources and meaning of Cohen s work, Leibovitz beautifully illuminates what Cohen is telling us and why we listen so intensely

With a musical career that spanned nearly five decades, Cohen has been hailed by critics and fellow musicians alike as one of the most iconic artists of the 20th century. A poet in his early career, the native Montréaler released his first of 14 studio albums, Songs of Leonard Cohen, in 1967 at the age of 33. His signature gravelly baritone, married with the succinctness of his sage, bohemian language, quickly identified him as a master lyricist.

Widely admired, his new and old masterpieces include timeless and enigmatic hits such as “Suzanne”, “Bird on the Wire”, “Everybody Knows”, “First We Take Manhattan”, “Closing Time”, and “Hallelujah”.

More than 2,000 recordings of Leonard Cohen’s songs have been made by artists that range from Elton John, U2, Jeff Buckley, to Aretha Franklin. And from Bob Dylan to Justin Timberlake, more than 200 artists have sung or recorded the now iconic “Hallelujah” since Cohen’s original recording in 1984, including breathtaking performances by k.d. lang at THE 2005 JUNO AWARDS in Winnipeg, and the Opening Ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics Games.

A Companion of the Order of Canada, Cohen was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, the U.S. Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the Folk Music Walk of Fame. In addition to his six JUNO Awards, and numerous other honours across his prolific career, Cohen was also awarded the Glenn Gould Prize, the Principe de Asturias Prize, a PEN New England/Lyrics Award, as well as a Lifetime Achievement Award at The Grammys. His final studio album, You Want It Darker, was released in October, before his death the following month. With more than 27 million albums sold worldwide and 12 published books, Cohen’s stunning body of original work remains an inspirational legacy to generations of artists and fans around the world.

Performers taking the stage at THE 2017 JUNO AWARDS on CTV include Arkells, A Tribe Called Red, Alessia Cara, Billy Talent, Dallas Smith, July Talk, Ruth B, Sarah McLachlan, Shawn Mendes, and The Strumbellas.
