It's Everypony Sings' First Birthday!

Today, May 18th, is Everypony Sing's birthday! It's hard to believe that this site started only one year ago. It has grown immensely from a site with just a few things to a massive library - nearly 300 files in all.

To celebrate, ESPPony put together this recording of the Happy Birthday Song. It's a fun little piece of music (I love the tonalities ESPPony gets out of his guitar). The wonderful artwork in the video was done by tanaisfox.

I also want to express my deepest gratitude for everypony who visits and shares music with the site. It's been a true privilege to see and listen to your talent. This fandom is an amazing thing - I've never experienced anything quite like it before.

This site is truly the work of the community. Y'all have helped this site to grow and encouraged people to play great music. All of us on the team are extremely grateful. Now let's look forward to another fantastic year!

Ukulele Chords Galore!

Hammil has shared a whole pile of chords with the site before. Now he's gone back and added notes to his old chords so that you can play them on the ukulele, too. The updated songs are Winter Wrap Up, Becoming Popular, Perfect Stallion, Smile, and the Italian Intro. You can find all those chords in the Season One and Season Two music pages. He also updated his chords for the fan song Are You Proud to be a Brony.

As if that weren't enough, he's also shared some new chords for the Welcome Song, B.B.B.F.F., and Love is in Bloom. These chords can be used for guitar or ukulele. Many thanks, Hammil!

You'll Fall in Love With This

This video is a real treat. It's a recording of Love's in Bloom done by haymaker and zahqo. Their recording is nothing short of excellent - they interpret the song with a great sense of energy. Heck, I'm looking forward to adding this one to my iPod so that I can listen to it all the time!

As if this were not enough, haymaker and zahqo also generously shared the chords and tabs for this song. Check them out over here and have fun! Many thanks to haymaker and zahqo.

Original: Ridley in Ponyville

TehAlphaGamer shared another original composition he wrote. This one's called Ridley in Ponyville and it's based on his fan fic of the same name.

The song has an ominous or mysterious feel to it which I really like. The violin part is especially cool. TehAlphaGamer did a great job on this piece! Give it a listen in the video, or surf over to his Youtube channel.

Alto Sax Wrap Up!

Good news, sax players—jd896 shared alto sax music for Winter Wrap Up! Here at Everypony Sings, we don't always have a lot of music resources for different instruments, so it's always great when someone shares a new resource.

In this case, we're happy to have Winter Wrap Up saxophone music, so many thanks to jd896. (You can visit him on DA or Youtube.) Find the sheet music here. I don't play the sax myself, but it looks excellent!

If you want to share pony music for your favorite instrument, send us an email! Check the "Share Music" page for more information.

Smile in C Major

What happens when you change the key of Smile to C major? To find out, Dimondium put this video together. The result is quite good; it almost sounds peaceful. Give it a listen.

You can also listen to more of Dimondium's music on his Youtube channel. Thanks for sharing, Dimondium!

Now onto a different subject. I recently got an email requesting pony music for the violin. If anyone has music like this to share, I'm sure it would be appreciated.

Controlled Chaos

Coconeru is one of my favorite pony fan vocalists that we are lucky to feature on Everypony Sings. He's done a lot of great covers of songs from the show in the past. This time he's shared an original song—a tribute to Discord, everypony's favorite villain (voiced by a Star Trek actor).

The song is called Controlled Chaos, and it has a definite Disney villain vibe going on. It's a ton of fun! Give it a listen in the video. You can also download the mp3 for yourself.

Thanks, Coconeru!

Piano Arrangements by DJDelta0

Many thanks to the talented DJDelta0 for sharing two piano arrangements of pony music. The first is BBBFF, which you can listen to in the embedded video. DJDelta0 brilliantly captures the energy and emotion from one of this season's most charming songs. The second arrangement is for This Day Aria, and it is just as beautiful.

The sheet music for BBBFF is here, and here is the music for This Day Aria. Both are hosted on Noteflight.

By the way, did you know Everpony Sings' birthday is coming up on May 18th? I think that's pretty freakin' awesome.

Daddy Discord (Four Hands Piano Version)

Are you familiar with the fan song Daddy Discord by SandJosieph? If not, you can listen to it here.

Well, Reedmace Star shared a four hands piano version of the song, which is quite excellent in its own right. One set of hands plays the Discord part, while the other hands play the Screwball part. Listen to Reedmace Star's version in the video. Then you can download the two sheet music parts, grab a friend, and play it together!

Here is the Discord sheet music, the Screwball sheet music, and the full score. Many thanks, Reedmace Star!

Love is in Bloom—ESPPony cover

Hey everypony! ESPPony, a member of our Everypony Sings team, shared another one of his great cover videos. If you haven't watched these, you should really start! He does an amazing job multiple-recording the music for pony songs, playing every instrument.

His latest cover is for Love is in Bloom. You can watch it in the video, then download the guitar/bass tab here. There's also an mp3 download link in the video description. And don't forget to visit ESPPony's Youtube channel to find more of his awesome videos!
