Fun

I chose your piece because I found it fun to learn + because I enjoy polyrhythms

Beautiful, approachable piece for me as I try to improve my playing.

Liking the piece I’m working on helps keep me motivated to keep practicing. And a modern classic like this blends technique and heart at exactly the right place for my musical taste.

忘れられない音楽集

初めて、デビット・ヒッケン様の音楽に触れたのは、先月YouTubeにてオルガン音楽を探している時、偶然表示され、その音楽が『インカンテーション』でした。
気が付いた時にはクリックしてまして、
その旋律が私にとって、とても斬新で新鮮に感じました。
何度も聞いているうち、ぜひCDを購入したいと思いたち、ウエブサイトへたどり着きました。オルガン曲集がある事を知り、今回の購入に至りました。インカンテーションの楽譜も興味があったので合わせて購入しましたが、殆どの音符が8分音符と16分音符で成り立っているのにとても驚きました。
他の曲では『償い』と『赦免』が私の好みでしたが、このアルバムは私にとって忘れられないオルガン音楽集となりました。
とても長い文章になってしまいましたが、
自動翻訳なので、理解に苦しい部分があればお許しください。
また、次回改めて、別のアルバムをも購入したいと考えています。
ありがとうございました。

Enjoyable to play

I liked the melody when I watched a video and the purchase/download was completed within seconds. Learning to play the organ music from the beginning was enjoyable. It keeps your hands and feet moving.

everything awesome!

Everything is amazing. I'm amazed that you can compose such a song. I play it on the piano every day. I also follow you on Instagram. Japan Miyuki Kobata

Will take some work to play well. Is beautiful if you can pull it off.

Lakshmi

Magic of Lakshmi

I discovered Lakshmi while listening to an online relaxing piano radio station and immediately fell in love with it. Then I found a YT video of David playing the piece and started to learn it that way (without sheet music). I could grasp around 90% of the notes, since some camera angles were not showing David's hands :)
6 or so months later I purchased the sheet music and filled in the gaps with my piano teacher. I adore this piece and am playing it at least 1x week to my wife and to my mom, they both say that it is calming and joyful.
THANK YOU DAVID ❤️

For Unto Us a Child Is Born

A tasteful and accurate arrangement of this stellar piece of music. Challenging but doable.

Liked very much

I like the song. It will take me a long time to learn bacause I don't have a lot of time to learn new music. I like this song, so I bought it.

Père Lachaise

Père-Lachaise...a perfect place in Paris to bury dark thoughts

I'm enjoying so much playing this great piece and then resting in peace. Ah ! Ah !
I wish more of this type of compositions could be proposed by Sir Hicken.
Thank you !

Obscuritas

A piece that seems to incantate the darkness to disappear. .... and it is the perfect training for the synchronization of right and left hand in fast play.
Absolutely sublime, David! Thank you!

Renaissance

Beautiful, simply beautiful! I'm thrilled. I don't understand how David managed to put so much energy and life force into this piece. As soon as I heard this music I felt full of life, of courage, of the desire to experience some new and amazing adventure, to go beyond my limits. I felt like dancing like a wild woman in the woods at dusk. :-) And that's what it's all about. To feel different emotions and a strong desire that will take us away from everyday life and worries, at least for a while. Music is powerful. And thanks to David, it's full of magic. (I'm really looking forward to having time to learn this piece on the piano. :-) )

Bach-like fun

I always look forward to your pieces that keep moving. This piece is pretty, fun and the runs in the left hand are a challenge to me, which certainly will keep my brain sharp. Thank you

Canon in D meets Ode to Joy

A perfect blend of two brilliant compositions to which David has added a beautiful harmony that lifts the spirit. And after practice, even an intermediate pianist can more or less master it, so this piece will enrich us in many different ways.

Deliverance

A beautiful piece of music, its rhythm runs like a lush mountain river, there are so many enticing melodies, a truly brilliant piece of music. I bought the sheet music because I am very tempted to learn to play this piece myself. Technically, it is manageable for an intermediate pianist after a lot of practice. There is no way I can play this piece of music as fast as David, who is one of the greatest pianists of today, but that is fine with me. I will still enjoy the process of practicing and look forward to the moment when I can play the entire piece.

Continuum MP3

Continuum is Pure Delight

After days of “binge listening” to Continuum, it must be said that these 24 original pieces from David, are a true delight. After a lifetime in the Cathedral organ loft, the challenge for me is to find and enjoy new music. Continuum meets this challenge. Thank you once again David for your dedication and imagination.

Festive Toccatina

I recently came across David’s organ and piano music. His compositions impress me greatly with his extraordinary virtuosic writing as well as thoughtful and modest works ideal for teaching. His “Festive Toccatina” delightfully demonstrates his rhythmic vitality and drive. If I had a complaint (which I don’t) it would be that I wanted it to go on much longer! Of course, then it wouldn’t be a Toccatina! 🎹🎶
