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

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。
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 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.
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 ❤️
Really have enjoyed your woks. I will be using my code to buy several other pieces. Thank you David

A tasteful and accurate arrangement of this stellar piece of music. Challenging but doable.
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.
Beautiful music to enjoy playing. David is very helpful and returns queries promptly.
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 !
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!
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. :-) )
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
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.
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.
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.
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! 🎹🎶
It's really one of David Hicken's most enchanting pieces! And not difficult to play!
I really have fun learning this piece !
Thank your your sharing your talent.
Kaiaka bay - this is the case when words mean nothing, you just have to listen. And as a privilege to try to play yourself.
