There are very very few composers which can revive the spirit of the former pioneers of classical such as Bach, Vivaldi and others, in such a magical way, perfectly enclosed into the style, but also bringing new compositions, never before heared, which are not reworks but actually original works of which any of older times composers would be proud of. I am listening David's compositions almost since he opened this you tube channel with amazing organ, harpsichord and piano compositions which make my life happier.
Brilliant ! I just stumbled on this post and was captivated both by the composition, the vigour with which it was played and the handsome and well-sounding organ.
David, before listening to one of your songs I always ask myself: what era will I find myself ? who will be the character who will animate the theme now? it's incredible, it feels like being in the presence of Bach!😱
morning David, a pure work of art ,like a moving canvas on a wall. Throughly enjoyed this as I pedal away on my exercise bike. now.....ever thought of naming a piece the soft shoe shuffle?ref.....them sexy shoes😂 UK gearing up for the coronation....we need you back home to play your contribution, far better than these so called headline acts🙄 much enjoyed ....be well David, UK out 👍👍
The life time of hard work, talent, and dedication you've put into your craft sure is beautiful stuff. Just is amazing to watch all the different things happening at the same time....to produce your great music.....
Wow..Listened to this guy, he's definitely on another level...Just sublime and amazing...Subscribed. May you live a long and fruitful musical life and continue to share it with us all..Thank you.
Fascinating. This is pure ecstasy. As always, your music sparks the imagination with each note you play. You are a truly amazing and unique composer and your playing is magical. Said it before and will say it again, you are the KING playing the king of instruments. Thank you for this.
Just beautiful from beginning to end every second. It took only 10 seconds to understand this is diamond. I dont remember any other piece which made the same. Usually it needs at least two time listening to make final rating. Alessandria breaks the rule in the organ music world. Thousands of organ pieces have only minor parts you want to listen and mostly you wait those part to came. This is masterpiece where silence is only part to wait before piece starts again. This will not be a one week hit and surely rises and stays top of the all time organ art. Thanks and deep respect! Hope this will often played as wedding march in the future.
David you are a true genius, not just in playing but in composition, and the devotion to your art. Beyond talented in keyboards, teaching, and even something as unrelated as scuba diving! you bring joy to all who hear you play. Thank you for sharing your gift and God bless you and your family. Teresa P.S. I was hoping to hear that you would be playing some original music at the coronation of King Charles III, but I guess they are unaware of your extraordinary talent. 😊
Hi David This is mesmerizing - what a composition and what a sync of pedals RH LH to create this awesome rich feel with Organ. Alessandria by David Hicken could certainly be remembered as a benchmark for all the musicians exploring the keys world (piano, keyboards, or present days MPEs) - With a perfect blend of velocity speed and optimal touch - creating a larger than life atmosphere blended with timely shifts has made this a remarkable piece. Its worth learning the art from you and a lifetime could be short for learning so much from you. ! ! !
I noticed too. Always say if your going to steal, steal from someone good. The Beetles, Simon/Garfunkel... Bach hidden in a so much. Fine music can and should be preserved as original, or refined to modern reminders. LOVE THE MUSIC.

Wonderful composition and performance, David! Excellence in both composition and performance is your hallmark! We hear only the best in everything you do!! Will Ortiz
I listen to pretty much everything you upload, and I am a death metal fan. It's all I listen to; However, your music pulls me in as well, and that should say everything about your ability, and skill level. Great work man it's bad ass.
Another gem in the collection 👍👍👍 THIS is a real shame... An artist of your caliber has 63k subscribers and a clown dressed as a bush doing "BOO" has millions of subs and views. YT's algorithms just kill true art and any kind of sensibility. Maybe other than going "AAAA..." in response to "BOO"... 😭
I pray to the Lord to help me to become (at least) as good a father as you are a pianist/organist/composer. (Whoever reads it, please pray for my Son.)
That was soooooooo amazing!! Love it - I am going to buy this and play it on my Envoy 350!! Thank you so much for posting, your music is amazing wow! I would love to reproduce the sounds on my organ at home - please can you tell me the exact stops that you used so that I can select them with Physis? Thanks Easher

Fantastic, David, as always! You know, I still can't even imagine having a real pipe organ in my house.
Just beautiful from beginning to end every second. It took only 10 seconds to understand this is diamond. I dont remember any other piece which made the same. Usually it needs at least two time listening to make final rating.

This is great! I love hearing classical music brought back. This really showcases your talent and your instrument. Well done!
Unbelievable talent... and SO MUCH work going into every piece!
Thank you, David! Phenomenal, as always!
I'm asking every time why not big number. Why why? Wonderful!!!!!!!!

Hello from Ukraine! Very chic composition and performance. It even reminds us a little of our folk music.
That footwork is reminiscent of Boellman’s Toccata from Suite Gothique - love it!
