“The Reign in Stain" BGM from the episode “Canterlot Boutique” of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic” (S05E14).


--Overall Comments--

Harpsichord? Mandolin? Must be a Rarity episode!  Definitely happy to see everyone’s favorite marshmallow mare taking center stage again.  In this episode, Rarity finally realizes one of her dreams: to own a boutique in the prestigious Canterlot.  But this turn out to be more of a challenge than she realized, as she battles with letting someone else run the show, and the loss of her TLC in her dresses.

This episode featured some fantastic backing music, including the return of the fashion show-style score.  The star of the music is definitely the song (and it’s two reprises!) “Rules of Rarity”; the first song we’ve had for a while (since episode 5)!


--Track Specific Comments--

Rarity unveils the dress she made, which was inspired by Princess Twilight Sparkle, which she calls “The Reign in Stain”.  A nice harpsichord and woodwind buildup is used before the introduction, leading into a lovely take on the “Princess Twilight Sparkle” theme.  This theme has been used since season 4’s premiere episode to represent Princess Twilight, and can be heard numerous times since then, including during the finale and credits of the Season 4 two-part closer.  

As Rarity continues to discuss the dress, another theme from season 4 is used.  This theme was last used in “For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils” in the track “It Just Came to Me… In a Dream” in which Sweetie Belle is explaining to Rarity how she got the idea to use Dolphins in Sapphire Shore’s headdress.

After this, we get a small little drop of a motif that’s probably from as far back as season 1.  I recognize it most as one of the themes that plays in the background during the My Little Pony Gameloft mobile game.  Off the top of my head I can’t remember where or for what it’s been used for show-wise in the past.  Haven’t been able to find it in my BGM collection yet.
