Jyc Row is back again with a new orchestral track, and this is certainly one of his more uplifting ones! With a strong happy vibe to it, pushed mostly by the bright strings throughout the track, it also features his trademark strong percussive influence and some celtic flavour towards the end that still manages to fit in quite well. Drawing inspiration from the artwork above, it’s easy to hear the influence shine through as Jyc takes us on a trip to cloudsdale.

Earlier this year, we learned of MelodicPony’s unfortunate passing. It was around this time that CainbowRrash started discovering the fandom, including Melodic’s channel. So in tribute, they’ve created this short but sweet piece, seemingly emulating Melodic’s style by using motifs from the show’s soundtrack and BGM. It’s also available on the recently released HMC Vol. 1 album.

Perhaps acting as a solemn yet valiant theme for the griffons, this new piece from A Symphony Of Two conveys both strength and wisdom through an amazing progression making wonderful use of winds and strings instruments alike. Embodying Pride and musical wonder, this track is another gem in the streak of awesome releases from this definitely very successful duo!

Definitely not the first orchestral ‘symphony’ to cover the entire Mane 6, but definitely not the last either. It’s nice to see that even though other composers have done this sort of thing before, each one puts their own spin on it. Here you can clearly distinguish between the different sections, composed for each individual character, yet they all flow seamlessly into one another.
