Reinvention is one of six beautiful mp3 Albums by David Hicken that I have bought.
The other albums I have are Angels, Faeries, Goddess, Sagas, and Stories of you. I chose these albums because I prefer David’s slower, softer and more delicate compositions. I bought Reinvention however knowing that there were a few faster, more dramatic pieces, but having reviewed the videos of David playing these on his website, I decided they were too good to miss. The majority of the tracks though on these six albums are my preferred kind of music, which I can only describe as beautiful, and I look forward to more of the same from David.
A variety of beautiful pieces to play and later teach to future pianists in SA and the UK.I also share the pieces with friends and colleagues as it is futuristic and post modern.
Faeries is thoroughly magical and breathtaking. I do love all of David’s compositions as his music is indeed healing, giving me that sought after serenity that no other composer has given me. And though I have to say that I am not very good at piano (however I am improving thanks to David’s instructions books) I do enjoy the time I spend at the piano learning and attempting to play David’s music.
I find the base line a tad repetitious, so I need to really understand it in terms of dynamics, to make it as interesting as possible. Like everything musically speaking, maybe easy to play.... nothing should be easy if you are bring something to it.
Many thanks to david hicken for publishing his books on the secret to being a good pianist. I found that the best idea ever because it helps me a lot on the piano I am now learning to have good reflexes as a musician and pianist
I have always enjoyed attempting to play this music book after book
This is so spiritual and bewitching that I believe David indeed had Angels inspiring him throughout when composing Angels
Such a nostalgic piece of art...It reminds me of my loved ones who have crossed the bridge of paradise. Everytime I listen to it, it soothes my heart. It's my honour to practice on it now. Thank you Mr Hicken for composing an absolute masterpiece.
Excellent collection of beautifully crafted Christmas arrangements. Nice variety in the choice of pieces which range from very challenging to play to more straightforward.

If you want to impress your friends, you can't go wrong with Arjuna's Dilemma or Breaking Protocol. A book for all levels of pianists!
You can start with Waltz For Kanchana and work your way up to Incantation 4.0
This is a beautiful arrangement of a lovely piece of music. Really enjoy playing it, and will be using it at a memorial service at church
I am thoroughly enjoying learning to play this beautiful arrangement of Away in A Manger and I hope to have it somewhat ready to play for my family at Christmas!
