The chord progressions are very unique… and absolutely gorgeous!
I did not have time to prepare in advance an Independence Day special for church as I had originally planned. I found this arrangement on Thursday night, and had to play Sunday morning; I just played the beginning Star Spangled Banner movement- which can 100% stand on its own as a solo.
I played through measure 35… continuing the broken chord for another measure, and ended with some notes of the chord w/ and octave in the left hand.
One of the best Star Spangled Banner piano solo arrangements I have ever heard… (even if it was arranged by a British guy LOL 😉)

This is an awesome arrangement. The way the two songs are combined in the last part of this song is brilliant. I highly recommend this piece.

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 !
