Ethan Toavs presents us with another wonderful orchestral composition, this one based on the G3 pony Starcatcher! The piece begins with a majestic fanfare before springing into a lively solo played by an instrument most of us have never heard before, the Bulgarian kaval! The middle section is my favorite however—every instrument drops out suddenly to reveal a celesta playing over a dreamy, barely audible choral ‘ahhhh’. It’s absolutely gorgeous before picking back up into a triumphant brass finale!

EveryDayDashie – A Celtic Pony Encounter | Epic Celtic Orchestral
EveryDayDashie has been on fire as of late, weekly releasing pony tunes in a wide variety of genres ranging from electronic to rock to orchestral. This week’s uplifting pony tune, “A Celtic Pony Encounter,” is inspired by Sunny Starscout’s journeys through Equestria. The piece features an upbeat Celtic melody supported by drums, fiddle, bamboo flute and dulcimer. A gentle interlude in the middle of the piece hovers briefly, reflecting the inspired beauty of the Celtic landscape, but soon relaunches into a crescendo of highland adventure!
Thunder Dash – This Is How A Unicorn Dreams (Izzy’s Lullaby) | Orchestral/Ambient
Borrowing from Izzy Moonbow’s “Fit Right In” from MLP’s “A New Generation,” Thunder Dash’s “This Is How a Unicorn Dreams” combines the gentle, soothing vibes of ambient music with orchestral sounds suggestive of ethereal pipe organs, softly punctuated by airy bells. The piece feels cathedral-like and dignified, like a wedding procession of hopeful dreams. With gentle piano carrying the lullaby’s main melody, an array of humming choirs, crystalline chimes and other dulcet tones support the melody to create a dreamy, mystical, magical feel worthy of getting lost in.

Continue readingThrack – Life Among the Stars | Acoustic
Thrack’s latest work is a lovely tune about ponies venturing into outer space of all places! While their journey might be cold, the warmth of Thrack’s acoustic guitar and gorgeous three part harmony is surely enough to live by. And who can turn down a couple of jolly mandolin solos? In addition to all the feel-good lyrics of friendship and camaraderie, there’s also some more mischievous undertones. Did they really leave Equestria in a “wreck”? I pray to Celestia they didn’t, but who knows what will happen next if they succeed in finding life among the stars.

Evershade – Ponytails (feat. Chuckles & PegasYs) | Electropop
MC-Arch – Green | Lo-Fi / Hip-hop
Be ready to put your thinking cap on with this one from MC-Arch. He states that times have changed in the past four years within this community. His rhymes speak a great deal of reality for us, in addition to the perspective of his life, setting the tone with this track. A reflective beat pulls you into his message that life has been cruel and unkind to many these last few years, undeniable in these bars – the emotion of the delivery brings out all the feels. But this is Arch we are talking about; as the beat shifts, he turns that struggle into how much he has endured, overcome and inspires others to regain power and control destiny. Soft tones of the MLP theme pays homage to the people around him who supported him during challenging times. This is something special, even by MC-Arch’s standards. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Harmpony – Regretful Future of Snowfall Frost | Orchestral
If you’re looking for something epic to listen to, this orchestral tune by Harmpony is exactly the go-to. As you march into a freezing blizzard, these intense and lively hits of an orchestra complement each other to fabricate an epic, menacing battlefield, greeting you with a frigid but mysterious atmosphere. But the story doesn’t end there as this masterpiece suddenly drifts into a regretful, melancholic vibe elicited by various solo instruments. The soundtrack absolutely nails the rich variety of atmospheres, and whether or not you enjoy epic orchestral music, you can surely feel the vibrations through the fierce and spirited sounds. Wonderful work!
HaNaVa – Not Much to Miss (covering 4Everfreebrony & EilyMonty) | Pop Rock
Coming out of nowhere HaNaVa brings us this amazing covering of a 4Everfreebrony classic, performing/recording everything except the drums live, and it sounds wonderful! It’s no secret that covers aren’t easy to do, but HaNaVa definitely nailed it! Managing a stunning sound in the instruments and gorgeous vocals they absolutely did the original justice and I’m looking forward to more from them!
