--Overall Comments--

Wow.  Just wow.  Joanna and Kristine continue to deliver some of the most-requested episodes of all time this season, with us finally receiving one that’s Celestia and Luna-centered!  Throughout we get to see them bicker much like the brief glimpse we saw in episode 100, and it’s up to Starlight Glimmer (who is now being called by the Cutie Map!) to help solve their issues.  What follows is a hilarious and emotional rollercoaster as the two royal sisters try to be each other for a day / night.

William Anderson and Kelly Davidson deliver some fantastic score for this big episode, drawing both on previous motifs and new compositions.  Both Celestia and Luna’s leitmotifs are reprised a few times, and of course the Cutie Map’s “mission accomplished” theme appears at the episode’s end.  In addition, there’s some lovely new montage score, and a few grand battle tracks backing Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon’s fight scene.

There’s a lot to cover in the 14 tracks this week, so let’s dive in!


--Track Specific Comments--

Here’s where the episodes takes a dark, emotional, and action-filled turn.  Celestia travels into Starlight’s dream, only to find her having a nightmare about the effects of changing the Princess’ cutie marks.

The score follows with a strong horror vibe, including a very off-putting music box part.  As Nightmare Moon returns in the dream, she brings with her her leitmotif.  We first heard this one in Season 4’s premiere in the amazing track “Luna’s Banishment Suite,” and heard it again in the Season 5 finale as well.

Celestia’s evil alter-ego Daybreaker makes her appearance next, and is given her own cue based upon Nightmare Moon’s, but with some higher-pitched strings brought to the front.
