Bronies and pegasisters, welcome to Fantasia: Equestria. I, Sterling Crimson, was inspired to write Fantasia: Equestria after listening to a series of classical pieces and relating them to life in Equestria. Classical music covers so many experiences, that one can’t even begin to describe them all in detail. Whether you’re sad, happy, or reminded of a childhood memory, classical music covers a breadth of experiences too great for a human to count.
For me, classical music remains largely underappreciated, with most people recognizing just the most popular composers, like Mozart and Beethoven. Classical music is so much more, as you’ll see in this fimfic. Classical music can convey just about anything, from the Friendship Express roaring into station after station, to young couples enjoying the wonders of Equestria that lay in Rainbow Falls, to the royal coronation of Twilight Sparkle.
Disney’s Fantasia brought classical music to life with its computer animation and the pieces they expertly chose, such as Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Dukas’ The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. In much the same way, I want to do the same with all our favourite characters from Equestria, whether it be Rarity, or the Cakes. It was this masterpiece and innovation that drove much of my desire to write something as beautiful for bronies and pegasisters to enjoy.
So here I have for you… Fantastia: Equestria. Pieces from Baroque to 20th Century music will be featured. I hope you enjoy all your favourite characters bringing classical music to life.
