On Friday 24th June, we learned from an article posted on Equestria Daily that MelodicPony, a well-recognised orchestral composer in the fandom, had passed away, reportedly from a stroke. Aged just 27, this Czech musician created pieces that garnered hundreds of thousands of views, and showed an incredible talent for composition. Today, we wanted to make a post in tribute to him and look at the music he left as his legacy; few in number they may be, but known by many and consisting of 2 years of productions. Continue reading for a look at each of his songs that he released.
Frozen Night finally uploaded their orchestral song track from Balloon Party’s latest album, Chromatic Horizons, released a few months back! Although it felt a bit out of place as the closing track to an otherwise completely electronic album, it holds up just fine as a standalone song.
OrchestralDesign is not only the best at flipping tables in the whole community, he’s also a talented composer and it most definitely shows in this new piece Summer Nights. Fitting to the recent Summer Sun Celebration but also an ode to the many beauties of the Night, this quick but meaningful Orchestral journey will make you experience all the beauty of a summer night in musical form with gentle piano, gorgeous choruses and winds evoking the very spirit of wonder itself, transitioning and ending with a mighty space-ey 8k subs special, worthy of 2012 A Pony Odyssey.

Crystal Slave aka ReuelBrony is back with a new track and this time it’s a duet with his friend Jonah Crandall! Reflecting on a pegasus’ freedom and in particular on the depth of the rainbow-colored daredevil, this beautiful duet is quite the perfect union of vocal talents as the voices seem to blend together seamlessly.
The friends who left this world shall always be remembered and paid tribute to, and that could only be made even more true in our community that feels like a family. As beautiful as it is powerful, here is a heartfelt and definitely very special piece from Spry, dedicated to late pony musician Soaring Flight. Soaring blessed us with his music, and a musical tribute like this melancholic yet mellow orchestral rendition of feelings just feels perfect.

Full tracklist after the break
I had no idea how to classify this song under our system, but “musical duet” just about encompasses this song. Written and composed by TheMusicReborn and performed as a duet by BriLizyT and AshleyH it’s based upon the episode No Second Prances, and Starlight and Trixie’s stories of redemption.
A song about a long and lonesome journey, now featuring timelapses. Have this orchestral piece from A Symphony Of Two to finish off the day, and it’s just as good as we’d always expect from them.
Rusty’s always been pulling his musique in quite original and unique directions, and this much welcomed Indie Pop track is no exception, refreshing with its unusual genre, impressing with its progressive vocal styles of much skill, and even providing a powerful message that is as heartfelt as it can be relatable. Go give Rusty props and hugs in the comment section!
