Harmony Ascendant

[@gouldridgreaves2147]

Hasbro needs to create a movie just for these sisters. And have Harmony Ascendant, The Moon Rises and Lullaby for a Princess in the soundtrack. It would be beautiful.

[@GreyNimbus41]

I heard the original plot for the movie was gonna have an alicorn as the main antagonist, but they changed it halfway through.

[@tcv1509]

It would be amazing!!

[@dreamingwildlycovers3544]

that would be so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@HallowNocturne]

HOLY WHAT?! What a rare treat! Hymns can be so beautiful. They don't need to be strictly religious. In of themselves, they are a magnificent form of music. Well done!

[@Unregistereduser-vy1uj]

May as well be called Hymn of the Two Sisters.

[@ponyphonic]

+Stardust I went through a lot of possible names. That would be a good one!

[@Unregistereduser-vy1uj]

+ponyphonic Well thank you. Anyway great song, keep doing what you do.

[@Shadowreaper5]

+Stardust I was just thinking that this sounds like a church hymn

[@swibishdumbhorse]

+Jeff P (Shadowreaper5) Oh yeah I wish my choir group will sing that

[@scratomatic]

this sounds like the intro song to a MLP musical

[@lovestrucktheidiot]

Whole years later and I *still* come back to this one, it's painfully underrated.

[@LilianOrchard]

Why am I just finding out this existed now? This is the most amazing piece of music I have ever heard!

[@listen2d]

I know! I have been begging him to invest a little with KZbin so more people can hear it... I am a little biased, but I honestly think this is pure genius.

[@augustdavis7333]

I agree (insert some big, complicated words that make it sound like I know anything about music)

[@PsychoDiesel48]

+Jerry Peet YES!!! I FOUND IT!!! *SUCCESS KID FIST BUMP*

[@bigallan6730]

+Jerry Peet JERRY! I saw this on your new video!

[@josepharmstrong1788]

+Jerry Peet Yes, yes it is.

[@mumafiedmustangs]

Remembering this song now in 2022 is a trip. I forgot how much this song slaps.

[@phoenixfire596]

Replying from 2024, and still loving this song.

[@KingArthur55555]

This is something completely out of left field for the brony community, I don't think I've heard such a song like it in the fandom. The religous hymn theme really accentuates the world building, as the princesses are basically Gods incarnate. A very beautiful work! I hope to hear more like it in the community now that you have shown that the theme works!

[@listen2d]

This song deserves a Grammy Award. I think it is not only one of the best songs I've ever heard, but it is simply transcendent.

[@Ahunt209]

Holy mother. I only knew applejack, lullaby for a princess, your first song and autumn and never checked the other songs. THIS IS GOD DAM AMAZING YOU DESERVE TO BE FAMOUS!

[@Autisticguywithacamera]

I love how this song sounds like a hymn you'd hear in an Equestrian church. Especially since Celestia and Luna are basically the goddesses of Equestria.

[@TiMoThY211991]

I just bought this song on Bandcamp for $5. I am utterly in awe at what you have managed to create here. The feeling of catharsis I get from listening to this is unlike any song I've ever heard. I cannot help but be enraptured by the glorious harmonies, and find tears streaming freely by the end of the first verse. Harmony Ascendant is truly sublime, and if there were any fairness in the world it would make you become a celebrated and famous musician, and go down in the annals of history.

[@listen2d]

My feelings exactly and very well put! Good for you to show your support in that way. I know that Dane and Christina will definitely appreciate that. I have tried to urge them to market this song to a wider audience as I believe that it will appeal to many for the same reasons you put forward.

[@BiscuitDelivery]

D - Larson Larson...are you guys related? *EDIT:* Stupid question, sorry.

[@listen2d]

Don't be sorry. I'm proud to be their dad.

[@BiscuitDelivery]

D - Larson Lol, I wasn't questioning whether or not you liked your kids, just whether or not all of the 'Larsons' I've been seeing were related. xD

[@WeimTime007]

It's beautiful. I'm definitely adding this to my list of projects. This is easily one of my favorites.

[@GearHeadedHamster]

It's a shame you've never finish it. This would be such a great peace to learn to play. Although considering it's length and complexity, I don't entirely blame you for not completing it.

[@sobosswagner]

Listen to this, the moon rises, and Lullaby for a princess one after another. Really effective.

[@chibunna100]

so true

[@cellochicita]

So now that we have gorgeous animations for both The Moon Rises and Lullaby for a Princess, anyone out there want to finish the trilogy and animate this already? PLEASE

[@inquirytales5512]

cellochicita I need it so bad!!

[@MorganAnimations]

Once I get an actual drawing tablet, I plan on animating all three of them together, as the three songs tell a story. I left a comment on this video, describing how I picture all the songs.

[@inquirytales5512]

Morgan Animations Please do. Best of luck with the tablet

[@MelodySnowflakeVA]

If I could I would but I can't

[@mraagh8779]

After seeing you live at Galacon 2024, this might be my new favorite song. In 2014 I was not good enough at English to understand fancy words, so I did not realize how incredible the lyrics are. Thank you so much for this timeless masterpiece 🎲💛💙☀🌙

[@ponyphonic]

@@mraagh8779 Thank you! I'm so glad you were there! There's also a newer, remixed version in my "Heart in a Cloud" playlist if you're interested.

[@mraagh8779]

@@ponyphonic Thanks, I did not know about that playlist! It is a nice development, time to listen to everything! But, of course, I will always be especially attached to the originals

[@EastPlanet]

As days come and go, I find myself drifting from the fandom and scrolling past new pony songs without a care... but never should anybody miss a Ponyphonic masterpiece. You 4 really succeeded in the choral effect, and the resolves really give it that breathtaking cinematic effect. Oh, and the lyricism! So flavorful and bright! You all leave us stunned again! And don't forget about Dane's epic narration ;)

[@CarbonMaestroCarbonMaestro]

Oooooooooooooooh I love this! It must be awesome having a family of singers. The choir's great. It's Christmas in August!

[@JadenXI]

Wow, I can see this being like a big epic song in the actual show. Amazing!

[@RoboticNerd]

Yes! Let it be!

[@sixkindsofpretty]

So the story unfolds in the order of: Harmony Ascendant The Moon Rises Lullaby For a Princess I listened to them in this order and have bawled my eyes out. please PLEASE tell me there's a song celebrating Luna's return to give this a happy ending.

[@catimakittycat5938]

It's not by this artist, but Midnight Lament is set in the present and it's Luna worrying about what she did, then Celestia saying she's just glad to have her back so they can be sisters again. It's got a similar style too

[@jagga-chan8918]

sixkindsofpretty Omg!!! That actually sounds amazing!!!!!!! Perhaps even a song about discord later on?? (Cause this song is about discord's defeat as well)

[@OCDroodles]

You are the king of the genres. From ballads to waltz to hymns. You, my good sir, are incredible.

[@soulyman1]

Even after 7 months of silence, I have no regrets to subscribing to Ponyphonic. This is an unbelievable piece filled with joy, harmonies, and talented singers. Cheers to the choir and Dane Larson for the music. Definitely voting for it on the top 10 videos for the month.

[@steatopigeon]

Oh, my. This is very much why I stay subscribed, really. I'm getting goosebumps here.

[@silviadragoness5904]

Taking a nostalgia trip through my "Fav'd Music" playlist. This one's been a favorite since it was released. 💗

[@ponyphonic]

I'm so glad! If you're interested, there's an updated version on Spotify and KZbin with slightly fuller instruments and a new intro. The album is called Heart in a Cloud.

[@v3xman]

Wow it definitely sounds like a hymn of praise, something like I hear in church. Good job.

[@bigallan6730]

+v3xman2 Ye. Sionce I'm an aethiest I was at first convinced it was a parody of a real hymn

[@MImsrock1]

Oh my goodness... This is one of the most beautiful things I have encountered in my _life_. Perhaps due to it's personal relevance to me at the moment, perhaps because of what it reminds me of, but absolutely amazing never the less. Thank you.

[@marshalll9257]

Ponyphonic so rarely puts out new stuff, but once something new is finally released it is always top quality.

[@DeathlyPumpkin]

SOMEONE ANIMATE THIS!

[@RoboticNerd]

I call upon the great duo cartoonist! Or sillyfilly studios!

[@TheAlienpope]

Or why not the actual show animators?

[@olivebates]

TheAlienpope the voice should be recast.

[@TiMoThY211991]

TheAlienpope They aren't allowed to work with the fandom.

[@RoboticNerd]

TiMoThY211991 wonder why. We would both benefit.

[@serenawyr]

I was reading something when the actual lyrics kicked in and I immediately dropped everything to pay attention to this. Wow. Just wow. I'd say this is your best work yet.

[@KiraFighterOfFreedom]

this is so wonderful i can't stop crying. thank you ponyphonic for this piece of beauty

[@MANNY100123]

They don't come up too often, But whenever I see Ponyphonic in my subs page, I know I can expect something beautiful... Thanks so much for your amazing music, seriously...

[@VioletteSymphony]

This seriously sounds like it should be in a musical. I am jealous of your talent, ponyphonic.

[@cosmiclich9546]

Just a few moments ago I discovered that Ponyphonic released another video. I can say without a doubt this was good day. I'm happy that this song would close my day for me. I applaud you pony phonic.

[@Sandalwoodrk]

i really love the idea of this being a hymn to the sisters and it works so incredibly well as such i think you really outdone yourself here

[@TiMoThY211991]

Thank you! As soon as the vocals started I got chills upon chills. By the middle of the song I was bawling from the beauty, joy and majesty of it al! This was exactly what I needed to wash away the awfulness of the Acadamy of Booty. I think this may be your greatest masterpiece yet! Ponyphonic, I am in awe at your splendor. Wow, just reading the title alone now gives my chills! You have truly created a masterpiece worthy of remembrance. Thank you again.

[@2007excalibur2007]

It's things like this that remind me why I'm still in this fandom.

[@shieldgenerator7]

This reminds me of how cool it would be if there was a spin off series about Celestia's and Luna's history

[@ピカリFritzyBeat]

We did get a lot of backstory in the book Hasbro released last year: "The Journal of the Two Sisters", which went right up to the point where they got their cutie marks. It was a great read =)

[@shieldgenerator7]

FritzyBeat I didn't know about that! I'll have to see if I can get that on Kindle or something. Thanks!

[@ピカリFritzyBeat]

shieldgenerator7 You're welcome =D I got my copy at wal-mart of all places X3

[@shieldgenerator7]

FritzyBeat So I just recently found it on Kindle (it took me a while to remember to go look), and I don't know if it's my computer or what but the text is all screwed up in the Kindle version. Some of the text is "hand-written" (by Celestia or Luna) and exists as a picture instead of text, and it lands at random spots on the page, sometimes overlapping the actual text. The Kindle version has some bugs and I hope that it gets fixed soon.

[@ピカリFritzyBeat]

shieldgenerator7 lol, that's weird XP I have the print version myself, and yes the text is in handwritten fonts~ Hopefully they do fix that soon =)

[@yabashe]

It's so sweet and awesome how you produce this with your family. You are all very talented! :)

[@Lohiau1]

Yay! You are finally back and it is as beautiful as always. After listening to this song I thought to myself this is gorgeous but why is it so short, then I looked at the time and couldn't believe it to be over 6 minutes. I could have listend to this song for at least half an hour straight I believe and I probably will do so right away. Thank you for another fantastic song!

[@RandomwaffleMLP]

I feel like I'm at a live musical being performed on a stage, and this is the opening song. I can already imagine how after the song closes, the play's main character will be introduced and given some conflict to overcome. If this turns out to be part of some "Horse Show: The Musical" project, I'm gonna be the one that called it.

[@StarlightSky]

It's beautiful :) Even with my mind racing as it was, my eyes are welling up. The feelings in this song certainly shine through. Thank you.

[@Neervosh]

Welp, this is fantastic from just the first 30 seconds and I love you for uploading this :3

[@StarlightStream]

It's great to hear a new song of you after a longer period of inactiveness and the result is better than i thought. Great work :)

[@AgentISH]

2:07 is so pretty, it feels like the ascension from the discord, and speaks the same message. Fantastic

[@GrayFur]

Praise the Sun and the Moon, for they bring the harmony to our world! Such a beautiful ode for the princesses!

[@citronflamingo]

This is my introduction to your music, and I must say that I am quite impressed. I shall be listening to your other compositions now.

[@jaredzeller2642]

Simply beautiful if it wasn't for ink rose u never would have heard this song and subscribed. It is truly an enchanting song please keep it up.

[@DrScorpionX]

Wow, the Larson family is so talented it's amazing!

[@jacquilarson]

DrScorpionX yep yep yep

[@AKShamu28]

I know I like when that one Larson did the alicorn thing- wait... Wrong Larson....

[@listen2d]

Wow... that's high praise coming from the likes of you, DrScorpionX!

[@NishantSarkar]

randomly remembered how i used to listen to this song all the time in 2014. im not even a my little pony fan!

[@phoenixfire596]

Someone has GOT to turn this into an animation! I know I would love to see that, and I'll bet I'm not the only one.

[@VyletPony]

I AM CRYING. I AM CRYING. THIS. THIS. THIS IS. WHY. LIFE.

[@TheJournalisticBrony]

Cause it accurately describes a potato so well. Like.... You can't not cry cause this is spot on to how I feel. Vy, I am here crying too.

So lovely and uplifting. Ponyphonic is amazing as always. Thank you all so much for doing what you do! :3

[@bashinginminds1126]

And Ponyphonic conquers a whole new genre. This would be excellent for both an intro to an animated film, and as a stand-alone hymn-style song. Well done.

[@Idontrunntoofast]

wow... WOW! Ponyphonic! I was so happy to see something new from you. I had to listen to this several times in a row it is so awesome! :-)

[@ArisBrony]

[@MrInsanechaos]

This is beautiful! I love how it sounds and how it tells a story about the first fall of discord. /)

[@Kishmond]

This is wonderful. And somehow 'big'. That's the only word I can use to describe it. Like it's more than just a song. It feels like an old hymn, with generations of history behind it.

He's back! I can't believe it. And it is just as good as Lullaby for a Princess. Wow...

[@danielmackowski1679]

Why can I only like/Favorite this once? The storytelling, the instruments, the lyrics, the singing, everything else... well done, Ponyphonic team!

[@Maximus2864]

I was in a bad funk today, because of some playful remarks in school. This was suprisingly effective at expelling any sadness in me. Thanks PonyPhonic, you make my days brighter.

[@jsadkins420]

God. Just... This made me cry in the best way. This is probably my favorite song in the fandom now. Just, wow. You guys are amazing. Keep this up, like forever.

[@DMC4EVERUCCI]

WHOA I'm utterly SPEECHLESS. You *truly* outdid yourselves. Bravi. Keep rocking guys! But next time, please don't make me cry so much... I mean, it was just too awesome to bear. :'3

There are reasons I maintain a good listening rig. This is now one of them.

[@JuliaBillicksociallyineptgeek]

This is the most amazing thing I've ever heard. Reminds me why I love this fandom so much. It's full of so many talented people.

[@kenjutsukata1o1]

Dang... just... dang. This was so good. I even got a tear in my eye. It's always hard waiting for your next song, but every time it's worth it. You''re a musical genius lyrically, vocally, and musically.

[@ThePa1riot]

You know what this song is? It's like a hymm . . . It's poetic, it's reverent, it's uplifting, and it's thankful. This song is like something the ponies would sing on the anniversary of Discord's defeat. If Heart Warming's Eve is their Christmas, who's to say that isn't their Easter?

[@raininess]

O.O jawdrop shortly followed by liquid pride Amazing job on this, I love the lyrics and oh my gosh the choir sounds so beautiful

[@DoodleDabble]

YAY! NEW MUSIC FROM YOU! Gorgeous. The music reflects the words and the words the music. Yay you ^^

[@crimsonphoenix5977]

Dane, if there's anything you would especially be good at in the future, it would be composer for musical plays. Most of your songs are awesome because one can easily image scene-plays through them, well I can.

[@Ext3h]

surprise, may, free, yes, smile, chaos

[@Flowerbarrel]

Wow....that was lovely! Amazing job! It's so neat how the song is from the perspective of the Elements. I like the idea that they're sentient, but I think it makes sense.

[@Yukimura570]

Absolutely beautiful! There may be many months between each song you release, but they are always worth the wait.

[@wazzupyuwu]

This is such an elegant piece of music! I love basicly everything about this song, the piano, the lyrics, the vocals. They're all so lovely!

[@MelodySnowflakeVA]

Wow this is sooooo beautiful I can't believe I didn't know this existed! It's so highly underrated!

[@KoriryuVEX]

Dane, sweet Celestia, this right here is absolutely stellar, and I'd like to pay special notice to the songwriting. It's seldom appreciated in today's "music" culture, but you've done a phenomenal job here.

[@KoriryuVEX]

My only gripe is the somewhat fast and abrupt ending. I'd liked to have seen it mete out somewhat.

[@foxgamming8000]

wow this is beautiful, its sounds like what harmony and friendship would be if it was in song form!

Incredible that this guy can compose, sing, and draw the pictures for his videos... I need talent like this ;-;

Night for sleep? That's the philosophy that sparked Luna's transformation into nightmare moon

[@fencinpenguin4052]

But for them sleep is blissful. If you lived in Discord's chaos world it was probably always noisy and something scary and possibly deadly about every corner. I don't know about you, but I'd never sleep, at all. So Luna's quite and peaceful nights must've been a blessing

[@maksimkislov2713]

It was great! Good lyrics, nice choir and beautiful music. Reminds me Queen.

[@Train2589]

Wow, just WOW. This song just blows me away. It's totally amazing!

[@XxDANIxX4]

Man,this...is something else,it totally gives me te feeling of the old animated child movies of epic tales,qhere the movie will start with the narrator recounting the events with a view of the freat city and then enters the main vharacter goin trough there singin,so nostalgic :')

[@IrishWolfos]

I love this type of music. I've never bought a song off of Bandcamp before, but this is worth it. I want more!

[@donivanthedutchie]
