Hi David , you sent me a personal email long time ago, mentioning you like Franz Liszt , also a virtuoso style composer from the past, your song Incantation combines modern rhythmic with classical music very well it’s a great piece of music, but requires a skilled piano player, I wish I could play this, just got a newer piano with better action so I’m gonna start learning your song, which is also an excellent practice piece for every student or advanced player. I think whoever can play this musical masterpiece, probably can play almost everything
Thanks

The sheet music is great!

A beautiful piano piece. It flows like a river and is also very good exercise.

So many published settings of familiar tunes lack character or musical depth...but you will not be disappointed by Hicken's settings, arrangements or original compositions.

I'm can't believe this was only $5 (after paying $60 for a true lousy joke of an arrangement by a different author)...but man, it's worth every penny!

Dust off those fingers and enjoy!

Personal musical comments/observations:
- m.7: left hand part does not match m.5. Not ruling out artistic purpose here, but this difference in pattern is not repeated anywhere else.
- m.42, 45: it's entirely feasible to keep the pattern here by adding the A-Natural above the F-Sharp bass, and the F-Sharp above the D-Sharp bass. Doesn't make THAT much of a difference in difficulty.
- m.70: I feel that this could be the "peak" (fortissimo), but played with a decrescendo across the entire bar, gently landing on the low A octave in m.71. To me, this "prepares" the stage for the last quiet echo of the theme.

Hi beautiful piece of music.stffrugglrf with the fingering it would have been nice if the fingerings where down as well but otherwise beautiful.

A lovely piece!

an incredible piece yet accessible to an intermediate player. Great news!

Lovely composition! Looking forward to learning it!

beautiful music, easy purchase and download. Just starting to learn the piece

Dieses wunderbare Stück höre ich unheimlich gerne! Vielleicht schaffe ich es auch eines Tages so selbstverständlich und leicht zu spielen. Ich freue mich immer über die Schaffenskraft von David Hicken. Vielen herzlichen Dank für diese großartige Musik!

This is a really beautiful arrangement. It's perfect for the Advent and Christmas season.

I love the energy and feel to this piece! My students love listening to me practice it. I want to purchase all of his material, and I frequently play his YouTube videos to motivate my students. Right now our favorite is his organ rendition of Carol of the Bells. So fun to watch: 4 keyboards and pedals too! Love those Organmaster shoes closeups!

The play has a great atmosphere.

Absolutely gorgeous arrangements of familiar Christmas music. Interesting, rich harmonies, unexpected key changes within pieces, and very pianistic writing make for a fresh sound and great satisfaction for the performer. David Hicken is a masterful pianist and composer. From poignant to sparkling, both books are must-haves for any pianist looking for distinctive Christmas repertoire!

Incantation is a miracle that you want to listen to and perform endlessly. Thank you very much for the pleasure I received. Thank you also for the very user-friendly interface of your web-site.
