“Crystalling History" BGM from the episode “The Crystalling, part 1” of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic” (S06E01).


--Overall Comments--

The Crystalling was quite a different two-parter than we are used to seeing, and had two simultaneous storylines, which collided in the end.  Twilight Sparking and friends are off to the Crystal Empire once again to attend the Crystalling of Princess Cadance and Shining Armor's new foal, Flurry Heart.  Twilight think this would be an excellent opportunity for her new pupil, Starlight Glimmer, to tag along and learn a lesson.  After learning that Starlight's old friend Sunburst was in the Crystal Empire, Twilight tasks her new student to seek him out and befriend him again.  However, both Sunburst and baby Filly Heart are not what they seem.

This premiere was definitely a nice change of pace.  While Twilight Sparkle and the Mane 6 were part of one story, the episode overall seemed to focus on Starlight Glimmer, not Princess Twilight for once.  This is even more apparent by Starlight receiving top billing during the voice credits.  She also received some fantastic characterization, along with Sunburst, and here's to hoping we see more of both this season. (Being that Starlight is now in the intro, I'm sure we will!)

William Anderson and Kelly Davidson's score throughout this episode is fantastic, drawing both on old and new melodies to drive the episode along.  We hear reprises of a new version of Starlight Glimmer's motif, along with numerous season 5 score as well as some themes from season 3's premiere "The Crystal Empire."  At 25 tracks, this ties last season's record for most score rips from a single episode (w/ two parters grouped together.)  Also, this is the first two-parter in which the music for the first part's credits is replaced with a custom score, along with part 2! I have a feeling this might be a red this season. Without further ado, let's get into the episode's score.


--Track Specific Comments--

Here's an awesome piece of new, albeit short score from when Spike is giving the history of the Crystalling.
