“Quite the Combination of Secondary Characters“ BGM from the episode “To Where and Back Again, pt 1” of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic” (S06E25).


--Overall Comments--

Well, it’s here: the season 6 finale!  I can’t believe we’ve already arrived at it; it seemed like the season just began.  And boy, do they pull out all the stops for this one!  Queen Chrysalis and the Changelings are back, and have replaced the Mane 6 and other Equestria leadership.  It’s up to Starlight Glimmer, and her unlikely set of heroes, to save all of Equestria!

The season ends without a song, leaving its total at 12; quite a bit less than previous ones!  However, you have to take into account that since season 4 we’ve had more or less 2 “musical” episodes each season, a main one, and a secondary one which had just as many tracks.  We only had the one this season.  I’m sure Daniel Ingram and co. were busy working on the movie as well!

However, the season more than made up with it in the score department.  William Anderson and Kelly Davidson’s score totaled to a record 310 tracks which I was able to extract this season!  And the finale definitely helped it reach that milestone.

“To Where and Back Again” was filled to the brim with score and returning musical cues.  We hear everything from the “Magic of Friendship” motif, to Starlight’s, to Trixie’s, to Discord’s, to the Changelings’… you get the idea.  Plus, numerous other themes from the season make their return, leading up to a nice bookend with the final track of the finale being the final track of the premiere.  But don’t fret: there’s plenty of amazing new score in here as well!  The entire final 7 minutes of the finale has some of the best score, I think, from the entire series.

Without wasting any more time, let’s dive in!


--Track Specific Comments--

Thorax and Discord appear, and they teleport to where Fluttershy and the Mane 6 are being held captive: the Changeling Kingdom!

A short choir score is utilized as Starlight points out Thorax’s different-looking wings. Thorax then quotes Princess Twilight, and Twilight herself.  Hilariously and fittingly, William Anderson uses the exact same score from the scene Thorax is quoting from “The Times They Are a Changeling.” As Starlight accepts this, she interrupts the score which slows to a halt.  Nice addition to the scene’s comedy by the score here!

As Thorax tells Starlight what happened in the Crystal Empire, William Anderson used his motif from “The Times They Are a Changeling.”  It appeared in the track “Changeling!” from that episode.  It’s nice to see that this is being used for his personal leitmotif now.

Discord make his appearance next, and brings with him his wacky score.  He teleports the group to outside the Changeling castle, and as we see it, Chrysalis’ evil motif is heard, leading us to part 1’s end.
