Pickard has composed a number of critically well-received orchestral and instrumental works, among them six symphonies and a number of symphonic works, including perhaps his best-known piece, The Flight of Icarus, which the San Francisco Chronicle called "a translucent and achingly lovely memorial to the fallen Icarus ... a serious contender for the most exciting musical premiere of 2006".

2008

His orchestral writing has been highly praised: in March 2008 The Times commented that "his orchestral mastery is total", while, in April 2008 The Guardian described his music as "at its best virtuosically effective, in a style that never seems either self-consciously conservative or too stubbornly middle-of-the-road".

He has also composed a piano concerto, a trombone concerto titled The Spindle of Necessity, and six string quartets.

The Strad stated that the fourth quartet was "one of the best pieces of British chamber music to be heard for years", while Tempo, reviewing a recording of his quartets nos.

2, 3 and 4, offered the opinion that "if Pickard were never to write another quartet in his life, his place among the greats is secure".
