Music is Magic (plus a bonus!)

SandvichParty always does a great job with his songs, so I'm happy to say we have a new one to post up tonight. It's an original composition called Music is Magic. The scope of the piece and its theme make it a great tribute to MLP:FiM. I think it's a really nice, peaceful, uplifting song. Give the song a listen in the embedded video. And well done, SandvichParty!

Meanwhile, we had a request for a violin version of Hush Now, Quiet Now. Teslahead graciously stepped up to the plate and turned out the requested arrangement in record time. You can find it here, and Candy Coda will add it to the big list of music in the near future. Thanks, teslahead!

Rescoring the Scenes: Fluttershy's Training Montage

Power Chord (an Everypony Sings team member and all-around cool guy) just completed a fun new project. He took the video from Fluttershy's training montage and composed some new music for it. His version brilliantly captures the drama and action of what is happening on screen. You can listen to the whole thing in the embedded video.

As a reminder, Power Chord is also managing our Facebook page. Head over there and hit that thumbs up button!

This is also a good time to point out the fact that Everypony Sings team member ESPPony also finished a new piece of music. Check that out over here.

Simply Magical!

One of the (many) great moments from Season Two is when Twilight overcomes Discord by restoring her friends to the elements of harmony they represent. Jack Spade took this scene (specifically, Twilight rescuing Applejack from dishonesty) and created an original piece of music in response to it.

Jack Spade's composition is called Simply Magical (Friendship) and it is, well, magical. I love the mood and the instrumentation of this piece. I think he captures the same hopefulness and inspiration as the scene in the show. Watch the video to see the scene and then hear the original composition. Then visit Jack Spade's Youtube channel. Many thanks, Jack Spade!

B.B.B.F.F.B.

It's a Big Brother, Best Friend Forever Ballad! Coconeru covered B.B.B.F.F. in a slowed-down, piano-ballad style. It sounds really sweet and fits the emotion of the song perfectly. I also like the backup singers. :)

Give the song a listen in the video. As always, you can find Coconeru on Youtube, where he's uploaded plenty of other pony covers and originals.

Coconeru, thanks for sharing your singing and ballad-writing talents with the site! Keep up the good work.

Equestria Girls

Equestria Girls is better than California Girls. That's all I have to say about that. I love that they made this cover/parody.

I also love that wesman2232 just shared a bass tab for the song. I guess he noticed we only had a guitar tab, so he worked out a nice bass line. You can listen to him play it in the video, or check out the tab for yourself. Let wesman2232 know what you think—you can leave a comment on this post, or visit his Youtube channel.

Thanks, wesman2232!

Horn and Violin!

We had a request a while ago for pony music arranged for the violin or French horn. Well, Teslahead came through big time, with three versions of the Title Theme—one for violin, one for horn, and a duet of both instruments together.

If you play violin or horn, or know someone who does, then you should check out this sheet music! Here's the violin arrangement, the horn arrangement, and the duet.

Many thanks to Teslahead for responding to this request!

Giggle at the Ghosty Tab

Giggle at the Ghosty is the song that won me over to MLP:FiM. All it took was that one song in the second episode, and I knew I was hooked. So I have a fond place in my heart for Giggle at the Ghosty, and it always makes me smile when I have an excuse to listen to it again. (Pinkie Pie would be so pleased.)

Well, PureAFM gave me a great excuse with his Giggle at the Ghosty bass tab and cover/tutorial. This is a great music resource for anyone who wants to learn to play this song on the bass. Check out the tab here. Thanks, PureAFM!

Love is in Bloom Bass

Here is a treat for all of those bass players out there: AnonyBrony has put together a nice bass tablature for Love is in Bloom. This song is strangely addictive, and it sure is fun to play! I would definitely recommend trying it out.

You can find the tab over here and visit AnonyBrony's Youtube channel. You can also find AnonyBrony over on the MLP forum.

On a related note, I would love to see a wedding band playing this song - it would blow my mind.

Piano Improv

Dimondium has shared all sorts of great music with this site over the past several months. Well, recently he was lucky enough to get a piano, and he sat down to play it for the first time (he had never played one before).

Thanks to his previous musical experience, Dimondium was able to make this fun improv piece. It's inspired by ponies and the friendship they share. You can read the description in the video for more information.

Thanks for sharing, Dimondium!

The Great and Powerful...

Yes, that's right, a Trixie-themed original composition! I know there is some intense Trixie love out there, so you all will definitely appreciate this piece. It's by BassBeastJD, and it's called The Upcoming Attraction (The Great and Powerful Show).

This is an epic piece of music, clocking it at over 17 minutes long. It's like listening to a little symphony, with different musical themes and styles. It's a complete musical breakdown of Trixie. The whole thing is impressive and a treat to hear. I am very impressed!
