I've really loved this version...it was a fun combination of these two common songs, but it is also a beautful song of it's own.
Thank you David for the gift of these great arrangements. I love Christmas music and bought both Christmas books at your Christmas sale. I will enjoy learning to play them.
Update to my earlier review: I received a quick and friendly response to my first posting. Impressive. In my haste I hadn't carefully read the page from which I was ordering and jumped to my own conclusions about what was available. Now I realize that earlier review is irrelevant because the "Carols of Christmas" album is most enjoyable and I am so glad I made the "mistake." David's wonderful talent deepens the meaning and experience of Christmas. I am grateful for having ordered the "Carols of Christmas."
This album was listed under the "Organ Music" tab so I hope it was Christmas music played on the organ. David is a consummate artist and I do quite enjoy his music, especially Carol of the Bells played on the organ. Oh well, I will happily enjoy these pieces.
Je trouve l'arrangement super. Se serait un plus d'avoir des pdf digitaux car lorsqu'on doit les convertir, c'est toujours un peu fastidieux.
Ce qui permet de faire jouer une voix par un port midi et de jouer l'autre ou les autres voix.
merci.
What should I play tomorrow? – A question every church musician knows. The day before Christmas, I found this piece on your website and played it during Communion. I liked it very much, and I felt like I could play a whole orchestra and choir. Such a fantastic piece! You can tell a virtuoso was at work. Thank you so much!!! Afterwards, someone immediately came up to me and wanted to know who composed it... well, apart from Handel :-)
It's very wonderful music.
I discovered this artist's music on YouTube and loved them.
I'm practicing little by little. I feel so happy when I play.
Thank you.
This tasty arrangement really captures the majesty and subtlety of this famous variation. My wife is also playing it, and has fallen in love with it as much as I have. Wonderfully done, David Hicken!
This is a wonderful, calm and meditative piece in honor of a beautiful, luminous goddess. Gorgious!
The calm and radiant character of Kaiaka Bay, with its rippling texture, really invites you to settle into the music. All the while, a beautiful cello-like line weaves through the piece, giving it an expressive core. I truly enjoy playing it.
A great selection of festive tunes with expert arrangements. Extremely challenging on occasion, but very accessible.
Another Masterpiece! So much fun to play and fits the fingers beautifully!!!! A must have hit from the David Hicken collection!!!!
One of my all time favorites especially for sight reading!!!
Thanks again David for your gift of music!!!!!
David Hicken me tomó por sorpresa. Un figura disruptiva y al mismo tiempo evocadora de las mejores tradiciones pianísticas. Sus composiciones sugieren una especie de tejido que oscila entre el barroco, el clasismo y un dejo de jazz.
David has a way making music sound fantastic. “Come All Ye Faithful “ is a great classic. I love the way David has put some great chords on it that that just makes it sound over the top. I really enjoy practicing this piece. Thanks David.

Whether you’re looking for a piece to wow the crowd or just play for fun look no further because Lancelot has it all. Great for pieces where you work on bringing the right hand melody out in the fifth finger while all notes in the thumbs and first and second fingers are continuously keeping that tempo and excitement of the piece flowing. Perfect for getting ready for more difficult pieces like Vigilante and The Letter which are my two favorite pieces of David Hicken of all time. I own David Hicken complete discography and been performing and playing his music for years and this piece is another master piece and is right there with all the Incantations. The best part about this music is the fingering just fits perfectly so follow his suggestions while taking it slow to get the accuracy first and the speed will come. Well done David and thanks again for all your music!
Hi there, pianoplayer, when you have any level, please check out this music!
When Continuum was released in 2024, I immediately bought it, calling it a truly superb and inspiring album. One year later, I still believe Continuum is brilliant. Its 24 tracks take the listener on an unimaginable journey of emotions, love, and introspection, brimming with creativity from beginning to end.
This time, I purchased the WAV edition as a gift—because such artistry deserves to be shared! A word of caution, though: Lancelot is not for the fainthearted. A splendid, fast‑paced composition that showcases David Hicken’s dazzling technique and imagination. Incantation V bursts with the same fiery brilliance, another thrilling display of speed and mastery. Together, they blaze with virtuosity at its most daring. And then comes Unconditional, shining with love, tenderness, and depth—a piece that lingers long after the final note…
The rest of the tracks sparkle too, each one a gem in its own right. Truly, Continuum is an album that deserves to be in the collection of every music lover.
Fun to play! However, it would be nice in future publications to include more courtesy accidentals, if possible. I just add them in by hand, but it would be a big time saver to have more of the accidentals written in.
Thank you so much!
So much fun to play!!! A must have to add to your David Hicken collection of music to own and play!!!!!
Touchfull, profound, classic-like, caressing the ear, the euforia for a musician and for a listener - like it a lot!
Just recently purchased the Incantation sheet music. The proposed finger setting is very useful so thank you very much David.
