Incantation - Piano Music by David Hicken

‘The Art of Piano’ began with ‘The Rhapsodist’ - a piece which moved my music in a different direction, and was a composition that I was very excited about. I didn’t want to rush the piece, and sat on it for quite a while. During the same period of time, I began ‘Incantation’ and then used the style of that piece in ‘The Bell Carol’. After the success of ‘The Bell Carol’ video, I decided to create a new album of exciting and fast pieces as a complete contrast to the slower pieces of my previous three albums. I finished ‘Incantation’ first, and then released it right away on YouTube. The response was fantastic, so I finished off ‘The Rhapsodist’ as well as ‘The Letter’ and put those out, and again the response was very favourable.
