Hymne à l'amour. Paris Olympics Games

Céline Dion  

The version performed at the Summer Olympics opening ceremony in Paris in 2024, sung by Céline Dion.

"Hymne à l'amour" is transcribed in the original key, F, and uses a chaotic progression of chords. The harmony employs distantly related chords.

"Hymne à l'amour" is composed with a straight rhythm in common time. The tempo is very rubato. I have no idea how an orchestra accompanies such a free singing. I used a lot of fermatas (𝄐) to indicate where Celine took a long note or pause. Hold it for 2-3 time longer.

The left-hand fulfills an accompanying role with simple chords.

The right hand imitates the vocal delivery by Celine Dion: a predominant vocal style is legato.

Pitch inflections (slurred notes) should be played quietly.

The aesthetic value of a track is based on abundance of melodic and lyrical material.
