I Wasn't Prepared for This (Awesome) Piano Cover

Octavia's Pianist always does a great job with piano reductions, so we were excited to see O.P.'s version of I Wasn't Prepared for This (aka The Failure Song, aka The Failure Success Song... we'll let the MLP wiki fight that one out).

Anyway, this piano version is excellent. You can listen to Octavia's Pianist play the song in the video. Then you can check out the sheet music or download a midi version.

Thanks to Octavia's Pianist! Keep the awesome resources coming, everypony!

Smile Tablature

Let's continue on with our flood of posts for today! Spikes Mustache (who has perhaps the coolest name on the internet) wrote out a nice tablature for the Smile Song. It's done well and is fun to play.

You can find the tabs over here and visit Spikes Mustache's DA page. Don't forget that Spikes Mustache also wrote out a similar tab for the Title Theme. Fun stuff!

Thanks, Spikes Mustache.

Art of the Dress for Horn and Violin

And now, a non-Comic-Con post for a change! The new songs are exciting, but we still have lots of fans of the old songs, and lots of resources to share.

Teslahead wrote some excellent sheet music for Art of the Dress—one version for French horn, and one for violin. Go take a look! He's also working on a duet version for the two instruments, but we'll have to wait for that version.

Many thanks, Teslahead!

Crystal Fair Visualization

WeimTime007 does a great job making visualizations or synthesia videos for pony songs. He's already created and shared a version of the Crystal Fair Song, which I think is pretty impressive!

Check out WeimTime007's visualization in the video. It's really well done and nicely captures this fun new song. You can also download a midi version.

Well done, WeimTime007! Thanks!

Chords from Hammil

*Spoilers ahead* Hammil has shared all sorts of great music with this site before, and we're exited to see him share chords for the two new songs from season three. These songs are a ton of fun, and I am very much looking forward to playing them myself.

You can check out Hammil's chords for Crystal Fair here and The Failure Song here. Hammil also now has a Youtube channel.

Thanks for sharing, Hammil!

Two Elegant Piano Reductions

There is something about these pony songs that make them sound beautiful on the piano. If you would like to see an example, you can look at these two reductions by Blangoog. The first is for the Extended Title Intro and the second is for Winter Wrap Up.

It's clear that Blangoog interpreted these songs with a lot of elegance and skill. You can read the sheet music or simply listen to the mp3. Here are the links:

Thanks for sharing, Blangoog (who is on Youtube and Deviant Art).

Crystal Chords

*Spoilers ahead* The first post for today is for a lovely set of chords for Ballad of the Crystal Ponies (also known as The Crystal Fair Song). A wonderful pony fan named Chris wrote them up, and we are quite grateful that he decided to share. You can find them over here.

Thanks for sharing, Chris!

There will be quite a few more posts later today, and they'll be done in the same order in which we received emails. The music page for season three (in the links above) will be coming soon. Stay tuned!

Two Songs from Season Three!

*Spoilers ahead* As almost everypony has seen, a few songs from Season 3 have hit the internet (Failure Success Song and Crystal Fair Song). When Smile worked its way to Youtube, we chose not to post anything about it because it appeared that it was leaked against the wishes of Friendship is Magic's creators.

However, my understanding is that these two new songs were openly released at Comic Con. Given that, I see no problem in sharing music resources about them! Starting us off is a cover of the Failure Success Song by The Runner (featuring RainSnowHail). It's quite wonderfully done - you can enjoy it in the video on the left.

On a similar subject, life has been a bit busy for many of the team members this summer. But given these two new songs, we are going to try our best to make a bunch of posts in the next day or two. If you are waiting for a response to an email you sent us, expect a response tomorrow. Thanks for your understanding and patience, my friends.

Heart Carol for Flute

Hi there! Moonlight Sonata here. We're getting so many great submissions as of late that I'm gonna start helping out with posts.

The first submission I have to show you guys is this great Heart Carol sheet music for flute by TwilightFlautist. All our flute players out there should be sure to check it out!

Thanks, TwilightFlautist!

Gypsy Bard Piano Arrangement

Octavia's Pianist has also jumped on the Gypsy Bard bandwagon. It seems everypony is excited about this new song from Friendship is Witchcraft! Octavia's Pianist wrote a piano arrangement (naturally) of the song, which sounds great.

You can watch Octavia's Pianist playing the song in the video. Or you can listen to a midi version. And if you want to play the song yourself, download the sheet music! Thanks, O.P.!

Edit: We're updating this post because Octavia's Pianist shared a new version of the song. The links have been updated, so take a look!
