This isn’t the first pony song from The Snatcher, but the last was almost 2 years ago, so I’d never heard of him until now! This song is based on a fanfiction called The Assasination of Twilight Sparkle, so no bonus points for guessing where the title comes from, but this song is a reward in itself. A 7-and-a -half minute epic with duet vocals from The Snatcher himself and someone simply known as Marina, it’s not every day you get something like this!

An adagio for Adagio. Take a wild guess what this is about and how the rest of the series will be titled ;P I would go into more detail on the specifics of this song’s theme, but Ghost wrote a small essay in the description, so you should take a look at that and let him explain the song better than I can. But what I can say is that is that it features live violin from professional violinist Maria Grigoryeva; good on Ghost for going the extra mile for the sake of a lead instrument.

I find it interesting just how much music in the fandom is inspired by fanfiction, perhaps simply because it’s something I never got into myself. But anyway, go check out this lovely solo piano piece from Liquid Harmony.

A new orchestral release from A Symphony Of Two, For The Greater Good paints a picture of the sorrow that must have been felt by both sisters after Celestia’s imprisonment of Luna on the moon. With a solemn mood, and beautifully emotional climaxing of the piece towards the end, I’m very impressed by the flow of this one.

A re-imagining of the first track released under this alias, Austrila 2017 is another beautiful example of how well Ataraxia can implement piano into a track as the main component. Whilst it starts off as mostly just being a beautifully composed piano piece, it bursts to life halfway through with some other orchestral elements and pounding percussion. Make sure to check it out below for a pretty yet powerful track!

Now for a new track from Wind Wolf which has a strong western influence to it, brought out magnificently by the instrumental and tonal choices. This is another piece from the soundtrack to Adventure of The Lunarbolts. Make sure to check it out for your orchestral fix!

A Symphony of Two continue their prolific release schedule with a new track about the surprising duo of Spike and Thorax. Equal parts inquisitive and determined, the instrumental relies heavily on strongly emotive strings, but has some other familiar elements too.
