It was crazy! Listening to David play Agincourt was like being catapulted directly onto the battlefield and finding yourself there on the ground of the historic and epic Franco-English battle... Agincourt is a monumental piece that transmits a truly engaging pure energy! I also highly recommend the piano version.

The piece "Agincourt" gives an excellent impression of the 1415 battle of the same name between England and France.
With a galloping rhythm, the music drives one into the midst of the battle tumult, where the fanfares of the bugles and the clanking of weapons can be heard. The catchy main melody sweeps the listener along with its heroic character.
Together with the pieces "Fantasia in C Minor" and "Captain Sharpe's Mission", David Hicken impressively demonstrates how the percussive potential of a piano can be exploited for epic-sounding works.
A real listening pleasure!
This piece is so emotional .Beecause it happened 400 years ago , it is more layered than you would have thought at first.
The music is there for us to imagine what it was for the English nation overriding the French.Outstanding registration for the organ version David .A wonderful piano piece for a concert in a gig with a big hall and echoes.Perfect for retired pianists and teachers.
The music arrangement was amazing, I can't stop to listening to it all the time. Personally, I wish the music sheet had been included with the pedals.
A epic music for organ, really very nice.
I was a mama-trained, daddy-sent, accomplished classical pianist all my childhood through college. Tired of the over saturation, I pursued another career, completely dropped classical music and only played for church for 48 years. I lost all my classical skill and technique. When I retired from my career, I wanted to begin practicing again but was very bored lack of strength, skill and the same classical pieces from college days. I had severe osteoarthritis in both wrists that caused stabbing pain in my hands. After CMC Arthroplasty reconstruction on both my hands and wrists at age 60, my hands were better than ever, but beginning piano again seemed impossible to attain. I was desperate and prayed for "something different" to motivate me to build my skill again. While trudging through the scales, arpeggios, and technique practice, God blessed me to stumble on a DAVID HICKEN link at the age of 69. I was mesmerized with the desire to be able to play again like that. After 2 years of technique practice and at least 9 David Hicken's books of brilliantly designed compositions, I am SO MOTIVATED as my brain and hands are slowly but surely getting back the skill that I used to enjoy. It is more rewarding than ever to be able to play again, (like a long-lost language) that I thought was gone forever. I am elated with motivation at 71 years this Sept. 2023, that my greatest joy is still ahead of me. I am here to tell you, no matter how long it has been, you CAN do it again. Thank you, David Hicken!

Tellement accrocheur. Un beau défi pour moi. Hâte d'en faire profiter mes auditeurs.
Once again we have here a great, satisfying, elegant piano piece. It's fast, precise fun to play, joyful, very well written for pianists who really want to impress and please an audience. Thank you David for giving us all that, happiness and enchantment !
