"I wanted it to give the feeling of grace, power and divinity. And also a little bit of ceremonial ambiance." I'd say you managed to do just that. And the end result is beautiful.
The CD came yesterday, just before I went to dance. We did jazz warm-ups to it, it was a smash hit! She said she'll be checking out the rest of your stuff~
Mmm, this is the kind of stuff I love playing on my piano. As a music composer and pianist for 30+ years, I know great musical talent; and thou hath a wonderful gift. This song isn't my favorite, but it did catch my ears because the melody reminds me of some my earlier works composed in Anvil Studio and Noteworthy Midi Composer. i was never able to finish them because I absolutely stink with rendering a proper ending. I am exceeding joyous thou hath did my music great justice and I commend thine excellent skills.
I prefer day because it feels the day has awaking within so many colours of beauty rather than darkness. But I also thought I hate hearing dark sides of monsters, the 🌃, 🌕 and darkness. I just thought what if the Light is evil and a Darkness is good.
Not to be "that guy", but the name is wrong, grammatically speaking. "In nomine x" is supposed to use genitive case because in latin possession is usually expressed via possessive genitive. So the correct form is "In Nomine Celestiae". Nice song tho
Yup, I know that. Though I wanted to put just the name of the Alicorns for every track of Alicornae. Mostly because I didn't want to have "Magia Crepusculum" or something like that. ^^
A lot of people think Luna is better than celestia but, there wrong she's the best she defends her people even if it means hurting some one she loves!!!
I don't think this overuse of bagpipes really fits Celestia. It's a nice song but you should have relied more on string instruments and maybe some piano, or an organ. Yeah some organ would have definitely would have been more fitting. Don't get me wrong it's nice song but does not really serves it's purpose.
+jnzsblzs1 You are right, more organ would have been great. I don't remember what I had in mind back then though, since it's been a while I released this track, but I think I had a specific scene which included bagpipes. And I don’t think I had a decent organ VST at this time. Anyway, thank you very much for your opinion, it is really appreciated. :3
Well, you're welcome. By the way can you tell me how do you make the background vocals for your songs? I'd assume most of your works are made of up some pre recorded sounds from instruments, but I dont think you can just record a singer singing every possible sound, mix them up and pump out an actual aria like the one in War Wounds
+jnzsblzs1 Actually, yes! The choirs and all the vocals effects like in War Wounds and this song are from a pre-recorded plugin. It is the soprano of the Voxos VST.

this music really shows Celestia - strong, bright and sometimes funny :)

Keeper of the Light. The Sun Princess. Keeper that protects the Ponyville from the darkness.
This is THE music I listen to when I feel bad, I don't know why but it helps me a lot when I deal with anxiety...
Me too
Same here
Yeah! Not sure what it is but it's just so ambient as well as majestic.
at the beginning it's pretty much like a calming jungle chant
It's a good stress reliever

I'm really happy you like the CD! :D
C'est de très loin mon morceau favoris parmi les tiens, un tout grand bravo !
That’s music really perfect...Celestia is very powerful it look like... a flame.

Love the ending.
*the mark of the solar empire*
3:37 to 4:09 is an orchestral version of “Destroy the foe! Bring the justice! The only light is from the Sun!” from Celestial Berserkers, is it not?
Beautiful!
❤️❤️❤️

+Günz Brony Thanks! I'll try to keep that vibe for every track of "Alicornae". ^-^
Jyc Row Sweet ^^
So you doing songs focused on all the alicorns? How many tracks will there be?
+Zodia195 5 tracks in total. One for each Alicorn and one for all of them. :)
Jyc Row Cool. I guess Luna will be next than.
Theorically, yes. ^^
🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
A fitting theme for best Princess/
you know what is better KAYTUSHA thats a good theme for celistia
also btw i love celistia
this reminds me of something.
+King Sombra oh ? What is it ? I'm curious now. x)
Magna Luna
+tritonnosaure How dare you spoil the title of the next song?! D:
(cat)
I thought from the thumbnail the text at the bottom was "We Bow"
Can you make one for Christlylis like this. I don't know her spelling name
Already done, it's in the Legion EP, name of the song is "The Changeling Queen" ;)
Findable on my channel ^^
Not to be "that guy", but the name is wrong, grammatically speaking. "In nomine x" is supposed to use genitive case because in latin possession is usually expressed via possessive genitive. So the correct form is "In Nomine Celestiae".
Nice song tho
Yup, I know that. Though I wanted to put just the name of the Alicorns for every track of Alicornae.
Mostly because I didn't want to have "Magia Crepusculum" or something like that. ^^
Thanks for pointing that out, though. ;)
Jan Kugler oh jeez it just occurred to me that Celestia has a proper Roman name and can be conjugated thusly
Moi qui cherchait quelques thèmes nouveaux pour m'inspirer, merci :)
+IGIBAB FR Un plaisir! :)
Je viendrai te lire sur MLPFictions!
La fic en question est pas prête d'être publiée X3
+IGIBAB FR Ah... Ben j'attendrai que ça sorte alors. :p
Блин начало такое классное
An amazing song! But... Shouldn't it be called "In Nomine Celestiae"? Because it's genitive and a-declination?
I blame you. NLR>SE.
PWC c coule.
+PeKaNo Wait for the next one then. :p
pepair the howitzers comrades we have an NLR supporter
we will meet you gladly, for our mother of the night, brothers and sisters of the moonlight, we will happily meet your fight.
A lot of people think Luna is better than celestia but, there wrong she's the best she defends her people even if it means hurting some one she loves!!!
Yey,my favorite pony is celestia!!!!
cadence still missing
+Wolf-fighter The Cadence theme will be released this month. On February 14th, exactly. :)
Then, in March, there'll be the final track of this EP! :D
awesome
Reminds me a gravity falls theme.
Who else here's the gravity falls theme?

Personally I think the timbre of bagpipes brings to mind solar flares but heyo that's just me.
I am a super villain 😁😈👿
the start sounds a bit like ww2 Russian folk music and i approve
