hi i have of course heard all the music and they are ethereal, alas at the moment i am just an adult beginner starting on my piano journey so it will be a while before i even attempt to try to play these pieces but i aim high.
thank you for providing such beautiful music

My piano teacher, 20+ years of experience, commented that this piece of music was the best arrangement she’s ever seen.
Excellent piece . Thank you Mr. Hicken
an exciting and clever arrangement of a christmas favourite that is very playable.
I'm delighted with the arrangement. I was looking for English carols at my skill level and not only is this one lovely, it's achievable for me as an intermediate player. I will look for more of your music.
In the world of streaming and download music, we’ve come to expect quality and speed. Your website provided both and it was very easy to navigate. Thank you! I love your music.
Hi ,David. Your music brings me back to my chilhood memories because its evocative, and moody. Thanks a lot. Every score its like an open window to a heavenly landscape.
Deliverance playing fells like I was born again
Thank you David
In a world where modern music sounds mediocre at best, David Hicken's pieces are outstanding, unique and wonderfully varied. 'Incantation' ranks especially high for me due to its syncopation and animated but mysterious feel. Thank you David!!
Great arrangement however a bit more than I can perfect by December 3
I am an accomplished player but struggling with the two note runs
Will take some practice
Hi david. Your music sounds great: inspiring, pretty moving, misterious, and full of an intense sense of wonder and joy. I m enjoying a lot the moments i spent playing it.. thaks a lot for your gorgeous music and for take us to another world of sheer beauty..
Congratulations, David, on your beautiful compositions. They contain all the ingredients of music I love - the depth, logic and beauty of Bach, Handel and Mozart, the creativity and rich moods of Mendelssohn, the playfulness of Chopin, the dancing jazzy rhythm of Gershwin and Joplin, the emotional touch of David Foster and Hans Zimmer. There’s something for everyone. And the pieces are very playable for everyone. Beginners will learn quickly. Intermediate players will be able to jump in right away. And even advanced players will have a lot of fun. I invite everyone to look at David’s YouTube channel to see him playing all of his pieces. What a blessing that is. Imagine if we had been able to see Bach or Mendelssohn play their pieces on YouTube! Keep up the good work, David! And the App is fantastic. I’m using my iPad Pro 13 inch and the quality is amazing.
The music is absolutely beautiful. Some pieces I am able to play, some not. But with practice, maybe one day I can accomplish the ones David
executes so effortlessly. I enjoy watching his fingers roll across the keys.
I really like the book. And since it was written by a professional, you can only learn from it.
I'm play classical music pretty exclusively and don't normally do covers but this one caught my attention. Very playable and faithful to the soundtrack. Thanks and well done David!
What's there to say. You either think that gladiator has one of the best soundtracks or you don't
I love the driving rhythm, especially in the left hand. All 5 of the Incantation songs have this same characteristic. (This same characteristic is also found in the Bell Carol and The Rhapsodist.) Incantation V feels like it could be a sound track of a swashbuckling pirate movie. It is so much fun to play and sounds great when mastered!
