Hallelujah Rhapsody is a part of a NEW CONCEPT:
"Immortalizing" selected songs (hip-hop, R&B, pop, alternative, rock, dance, folk) by presenting them in classical forms of music - in appreciation of contemporary artists' music. Among the songs are With You / Kiss Kiss Overture (Chris Brown, T-Pain), No One Concerto (Alicia Keys), What goes Around Rhapsody, What I've Done (Linkin Park, ft. in "The Transformers"), Big Girls Don't Cry (Fergie), How Far We've Come (Matchbox 20), Gimme More Sonata (Britney Spears).

This version is not intended to sound as a copy of the original song. The music might be A MIXTURE OF GENRES, WITH INTENTIONAL CONSTANT CHANGES IN TEMPO AND RHYTHM (personal interpretation).
This original concept is presented, arranged and performed by Marrina.

THE "CORE" OF THE CONCEPT IS USUALLY FEATURED AROUND THE MIDDLE OF THE CLIP, AFTER THE MAIN ORIGINAL THEME.

Award-winning concert pianist/composer/conductor Marrina has performed in concerts since she was 8 years old. Her styles of music are ranging from classical, to pop, to dance, to R&B, to hip-hop. Her high school musical compositions were featured in films, studio recordings and theater.

After her performance in the Superbowl Halftime Show Marrina continued to perform in concerts, in films and on television. She has appeared in the film "Face/Off" with John Travolta and Nicolas Cage and on television shows such as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Today Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Entertainment Tonight, Extra and others. She conducted and performed with the group she founded in front of presidents (President Clinton, President Meri of Estonia) and royalty, appearing in major events, from the Olympic games events to the Grammy Fest. She has appeared with and in front of well-known artists and personalities such as Sting, Liza Minnelli, Natalie Cole, Jessica Simpson, John Travolta, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Robert DeNiro, Robert Downey Jr. Kennedy Center Honors award recipient Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Josh Groban, Roma Downey, Mark Burnett, Kate Winslet, Will Smith. Jamie Lee Curtis, Larry King, Bruce Springsteen and more.

The purpose of the videos of this channel are :
1. To present selected songs in classical forms of music, in hopes to "immortalize" them. This concept was created in appreciation of the artists' music.

2. To encourage acceptance and combining various styles of music.

3. To inspire and encourage playing a musical instrument and being creative.

Per the request of some of the viewers to make it easier, some of the songs are transposed to easier keys.

  • ....absolutely super . beautiful performance........

  • very pretty. it's so interesting to see someone interpret it in such a different way. personally I think the song is supposed to be and remain simple - making it complicated is contradicting it. BUT, notheless it's your own expression and it sounds beautiful. you're very talented.
