“Great and Powerful Assistant” BGM from the episode “Road to Friendship” of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic” (S08E19).


--Overall Comments--

When Trixie is invited to perform in Saddle Arabia, her and Starlight travel together on a friendship road trip.  While everything begins swimmingly, tempers soon flair over their cramped traveling quarters.

It's great to have another episode with Trixie and Starlight, as well as seeing some locations again such as Somnambula.  The extensive score of this episode brings back numerous themes as well, including leitmotifs for Trixie and the village of Somnambula.  The Middle Eastern style of score also is utilized for a new character from Saddle Arabia, Hoo'Far, who appears throughout the episode.

"Road to Friendship" also brings with it our fifth song of the season, and first singing role for Trixie in the main show, as she sings a duet with Starlight.  A jazzy, horn-filled tune, it's extremely catchy and fun, and the continued use of the live horns from the My Little Pony: The Movie recording continues to shine in the song's instrumental.

Quite a bit this week, so let’s dive in!

To back Starlight and Trixie talking in this post-opening scene, we have some lovely new piano and pizzicato strings score.
