That last verse was sure one of the most epic things I have EVER heard.
I'm really surprised you aren't more popular.


I love this music....

I am no soviet, but I love their anthems and such. I just love this genre.

The lyrics are awesome, and the singing is just as good :D


Not going to lie, I like this, a lot! Great work man!


Ahhh. Killius. I've been in music school for twice as long, but can't even be half as good. Damn nice work on those vocals.

Also Bagpipe, mind if I take a peek at the score? I was gonna do a SATB + Piano edition. Thanks!

-Artemus


@Overkillius I'm a voice major too, figured you knew how to handle criticism ;)

I'm working on dropping my jaw, myself. Keep workin on that low range, it'll come along, and you're high notes are glorious!

Btw, I've been meaning to start doing brony music myself. Mind if I ask what kind of equipment you use?


So pretty and that voice just blew me away. I had to sing along.


I still pledge my loyality to the Princess of the Night personally. The Night is beautiful and I want to live under her everlasting shine.


All hail Celestia! May her reign continue and the traitors meet a swift end!


@VegaFox744 I would say this song compliments Russia. the chord progression is dead on for that periods Russian style (I'm guessing mid 18th to mid 19th opera) the singing has the correct, nay, it was perfect intonation, the attitude of the song is very strong and determined (wich I beleive Russians are), and the accompanying instruments are all period of this style (the tuba is debatably period) overall this does complete justice to Russia. Why does accuracy offend you?


FOR ALL OF EQUESTRIA!!!!!! MAY WE UNITE AND SPREAD OUR LOVE AND TOLERANCE!!!!!!!!!!


Love the song, but it doesn't really start for me till 1:26. As a bass, it always bugs me when people sing lower than they can support. Always nice to hear someone with classical training though!


Songs like this are the reason why i love this fandom so much...


This is an impressive song

On those trying to lay your support with either the 'Solar Empire' and 'Lunar Republic' your both foals. True citizens of Equestria know that it is together the sisters rule and together they shall remain. Silly factionists, stop trying to create needless fighing and pain.


Long life to the United Brony Collective!


This is excellent. Really gotta add this to my iphone. Well done! :D


How is it every time you make a new song I can't stop listening?


I'm glad you finally got to release this, Bagpipe.. ;D


I sometimes wonder how Celestia musters such loyalty and  I like to imagine her getting drunk over vodka with her guards.

Come on, just try not to smile over drunk Celestia singing this, "Moskau! Moskau! I don't know the buckin' lines!"


Holy crap that was epic! But only 2 and a half minutes? The chorus only comes once? Someone make an extended version!


Александр Соколов


We should have like an official Brony orchestral band that travels around doing concerts. XD


Hey, I saw you managed to get this front page on EQD, congrats by the way :D


All hail King Sombra, may his highness return one day and rule Equestria with an iron hoof! All hail Sombra! All hail the true Crystal Empire!!!


-aims a hoof at a guard- Down with tyrant Celestia! Long live Luna, the true princess! May the lovely moon overshadow the burning sun!D:<


Let it be known that I will forever serve my beloved Princess of the Night. The night is my domain and the darkness holds no terror for me. However, I will respect Celestia and her rule of the day but I am a brony of the night, so although I live in the night, I wish naught but happiness to the Daywalkers and hope that we may live in harmony. For without the sun, we Nightwalkers would perish and without the moon the Daywalkers would perish. Harmony is the only way. Vivat Reginae Noctis.

Hey not a problem man! I've already got you added back when I was in MLR. I don't know what I can do with a MIDI file, so I'll probably just bother Killius for it. Thanks anyway!


@psychgoth Very much so, not to mention this has lyrics (of a sort). May I asked who sang for you? I would't be able to recognize your voice if I tried (last time I heard it you had a cold...).

Also good work mate!


It sounds almost exactly like the original.


With the Changelings dependent on our supply of love, the Crystal empire letting us establish a military forefront in their capital and EqueSci's powerful influence... the New Lunar Republic is assured victory over those who stand in our way.


FOR THE SISTERS OF THE HOMELAND!!! /) /) /)


@Scorpio3002 I think Overkillus sounds fine at the A2, maybe a little quiet but still a good tone. I think it might just be coming down to it from higher notes prevents someone from hitting it with a really strong chest voice.
Thanks for liking my song though! c:


I have shed the manliest tears of all: the tears of patriotism.


Clearly you've never heard "March Onwards, Comrades" by Oliver Codd.


All Hail to Night Mare Moon, Savior from Supression of the Sunfolk!


ALL HAIL THE SOLAR EMPIRE AND YOUR PRINCESS CELESTIA!!!


Oh god... just imagine if Equestria was real and we showed this video to Celestia...


FOR GLORY, FOR JUSTICE, FOR PEACE, FOR THE NEW LUNAR REPUBLIC!!!


HAIL CELESTIA! FOR THE TRUE DIVINE RULER OF EQUESTRIA!  Divina Lux et sol claret!


But you do know that Cadence, alongside her husband Shining Armor, are the current rulers of the Crystal Empire, right? King Sombra was well taken care of by the power of the Crystal Heart.


LONG LIVE THE EQUESTRIAN SOVIET SOLAR REPUBLICS!!!!!!!


This was uploaded about 2 months before a Canterlot Wedding so I think we can forgive him. ^.~


I lead the navy of the solar empire, may we live long under her rule.


DEATH THE TYRANT!
ALL GLORY TO PRINCESS LUNA!


HAIL PRINCESS CADANCE! MAY THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE REMAIN VICTORIOU!


@Nuthriz Why thank you ^^
Also, I was raised Catholic and I kinda never experienced any of that "cult" vibe O.o Are you entirely sure you're expressing yourself correctly?


I do not cheer for the Solar Regime, The Lunar Republic, The Crystal Empire, or The Discordian Commonwealth, but for all of Equestria. For the sake of love, tolerance, peace, justice, and glory, we must all be united in harmony against those who would subdue us.

@joshyfox1 Because we shall bring victory to the mighty Solar Empire and bring those traitors to justice! Dusk shall usher in a blaze of dazzling glory under the banner of the Solar Empire!

@Jade Chan  Seriously, what is wrong with you people? Why turn such a positive wonderful place into something so incredibly unfriendly?

@spiritfinder321 The day I would live with a Lunar dog will be a day that your traitorous Luna faces justice!

@spiritfinder321  Seriously? Slaughter? Slaves? None of this exists in Equestria, not MY Equestria. What happened to all of you to so quickly forget the lessons of love and friendship, not hate and disharmony? There is no NLR or Solar Communist Empire, there is only the world of ponies we all have grown to adore over the years.

It is great to say that and to think that it could happen,but if the NLR stopped now thousands will be slaughtered and be made slaves just like the rest of the Solar communist Empire.It great to think that we could all get along but we won't.


When the ponies and Wonderbolt Commandos Servers NS (National Service). To fight for war to defend USA, Canada and their village ponyville. For the equestrian army,salute.“Ten-Hut”! Stand attention. "For the equestrian Army, Air Force And Navy".


I believe more in Celestia than in god itself.


Back in ye old russia, we bow to everypony!


Haha, my pony hater friend found this video and commented on how good my voice is. That made me smile coming from him of all people. :)


Watch yourself, for although all Empires fall, it is usually due to internal struggle and politics rather than any invading force. Basically it is foolish to attack the big dog in the fight, rather you'd want to get them to destroy themselves.


So, it makes sense that Cadence would be ruler of the lesser province :)


Wub Wub Wub.

So awesome! My only complaint is that i wish the climax was longer. No pun intended


you got that right comrade.... for peace.... for freedom.... for CELESTIA!!!!! URA!!!!


I love how everyone thinks Equestria is communist.
LONG LIVE EQUESTRIA UNITED AND FREE! STRONG IN OUR FRIENDSHIP TRIED BY FIRE! LONG MAY OUR CRIMSON FLAG INSPIRE! SHINING IN GLORY FOR PONIES TO SEE!


Down with the tyrant Celestia! Glory to the New Lunar Republic!


I do have MuseScore, but I almost never use it, being more of a performer than a composer.

And I just sent you a message over skype ;D


Bronies of Equestria,
Equestria has woken,
Bound Luna’s helmet
Upon her head.
Where is Victory?
Let her head bow down,
For Celestia created her
Slave of Discord.

Let us join in Friendship
We are ready to Love.
We are ready to Tolerate,
Equestria has called.
Let us join in Friendship
We are ready to Love.
We are ready to Tolerate,
Equestria has called, yes!


Also, any chance of getting Instrumentals for this?


@Coltsuke oh also you're oprah voice is god damn amazing.


viva equestria del norte!!!!!! viva el imperio solar !!!!!!


There can be plenty of fun without having them fight each other. It's the likes of Discord that find enjoyment and fun in conflict and broken relationships.


We are the soldiers of the NLR, Its shields and swords. its murders and martyrs. May the darkness cloak us and let us roam like ghost to slay those who would oppress the people. Let us bring forth a new era of freedom and reason.

We are the New Lunar Republic

Nox noctis est nostri

The night is ours


@lovetohate028 Oh yeah I agree with you 100% As a fan of cultural architecture I can see that very clearly. However Germanic countries in general don't have many good folk songs(imo). Their medieval period is where all their good music is at IMO.
The Russian styled song is a play on the whole communist pony thing that was around for a while. I jave many epic songs that would make a realistic anthem for Equestria but to quote a certain someone, where's the fun in making sense? ;)


FALL YOU MARSHMALLOW TYRANT!!! WE SHALL SMITE YOU!!!! LONG LIVE THE NLR!!!!!


I like it....
Its very... Russian!

Russian is badass!


Luna and Celestia were renamed to princesses on Hasbro's demand. They were originally queens.


Down with celestia! Luna shall rule supreme!


Not in the timeline of the Equestrian Civil War. With the Mane 6 split between the two princesses, Queen Crysalis is allowed to suck the love out of anypony and the Crystal Heart remains hidden so King Sombra takes back the Crystal Empire practically unopposed.

A Real Lobster With An Internet Connection


this was boss. Russia + ponies? not only do russians make great anthems but add ponies and you get something amazing!


@VegaFox744 I apologize, I meant to say exciting and interesting. American national music just doesn't interest me as much as music from other countries. Kalinka is a love song written in the 19th century and is regarded as a folk song. Katyusha is a song from the 1930s so you are right, but I mean "folk" as in traditional music of Russia. It is played a lot during Victory Day isn't it?


I vote for the Lunar Empirepublic of Celequestria.


But of course, King Sombra had claimed the land de jure, while officially it is recognized as Equestrian land. Only Sombran Crystal Empire recognizes itself as a nation.

...I think


Yet the Princess of the Night would want to to pledge your loyality to both her and her sister. Sorry but you can't have one without the other, they are a package deal :)


NO! NEVER! LONG LIVE THE NEW LUNAR REPUBLIC!<br>MAY THE NIGHT LAST FOREVER!

NO! NEVER! LONG LIVE THE NEW LUNAR REPUBLIC!
MAY THE NIGHT LAST FOREVER!


I AM NOW BEAUTIFULL! Aw, I have no crown....


In Soviet Equestria, joke makes YOU... wait, that works in capitalist Equestria too.


Remember, fanfictions often take characters OOC and the stories told are noncanon. So sorry, I beg to differ, Luna not formed the Lunar Republic nor does she to take power from her sister.


All Hail Princess Celestia our God and Savior.


@VegaFox744 Well because I don;t find American music so appealing because the culture is nothing special to me. I love Russian music and so I wrote this song in that style. I will have you know that the style of music this uses goes back to the days of imperial Russia. The folk song Kalinka uses the strong sharp fifth which Russian music is famous for Katyusha and Korobushka also use it. It just gives the melody a poweful hook. That's all.


@speedstriker perhaps they thought, that this is too epic to get replaced and kept it


Let us take down the monarchy of Equestria! let us make Equestria for the ponies run by the ponies!


Straight to the moon.
*Once there*
"Why Did you show that video to Celestia!?"
"I thought it would be funny"
"Kinda was, but look where we are now!"
"Brohoof?"
*sigh*
"brohoof."


Liking....
Favoriting....
Subscri.... oh wait i'm already subscribed... GOOD JOB!!


Equestria has a more Western European(Germanic)-styled culture, with architecture, food, holidays, addressing others, and so on. Therefore, this Soviet(Slavic/Eastern European)-modeled anthem would be inappropriate.


@RavensDagger501 Overkillus sang the song for me. I linked him in the description.


But she isn't a "ruler"
yes she is an alicorn princess, but she doesnt have control over the night or day or anything.


i faved the second i heard your voice xD


I'm usually a fan of the Celestial Diarchy, but this doesn't sound too bad either. :P


Praise Her. Praise Her, for She is the Night. She Watches us and Guards us in our dreams. She Provides for us. She has Enlightened us. We art unworthy to bask in Her Light and Her Glory. We art unworthy of the Gifts and the Love She has Bestowed upon us. She Illuminates Her Moon, to shade us from the burning Sun of the Great Tyrant, and to Light the Way. She Protects us. Praise Her. Praise Her, for She is the Night. All Hail the Night!For The NEW LUNAR REPUBLIC!!!


So, who else is joining the First Church of Celestia?


In the end of the Pessah,we will make the Bloody Sunday...we will go make a revolution and instal the Socialist Soviet Federation of Equestria


The Crystal Pony lands are probably a protectorate/dominion/colony of Equestria.


THE NEW SOVIET EQUESTRIA ARE COMING
CESNOR LUNA!
CENSOR DISCORD!
CENSOR CELESTIA!
GIVE FREEDOM TO THE PEOPLE AND PUT DMITRI TPRENKO IN THE POWER


@Scorpio3002 Audacity, Finale, Cubase, and Kontakt for software. Nothing really hardware wise besides some good mixing headphones and a condenser mic. (I think I misunderstood that question maybe... I compose music as well btw :D) If you want to know what specific mic I use, I have an Audio-Technica AT2020 USB mic.


Everypony unite! We must destroy the Solar empire and make our pony democratic republic and let true friendship rain!


Wait a second.... "Princess"? As in singular, "Princess"? Shouldn't it be "Princesses" after Luna's Re-Coronation?


@Scorpio3002 holy carp, criticism, how dare you? In all seriousness though, I DO have trouble down there, and I have actually been working on making my lower range sound nicer! Thanks for the criticism, and I'm glad you liked it. :3


@VegaFox744 I make no references to the Soviet Union in the song lyrics. The song only follows a typical Russian chord progression of minor I, IV, and the Sharp fifth. The only soviet thing here are the cutie marks on the Cossack dancing guards. And even so, is the offense because you are embarrassed of your country's past?


@MrBardTard  And Luna was not a Tyrant? The Mare in the Moon once shared power with her sister and imposed her will mercilessly over Equestria. At least with Mighty Celestia, her Tyranny, if any is well hidden, which keeps me a happy peasant.


then i must have been tainted by his ways :o help mee


Hmmmmm....Fools. You shall fall to the coming evil. Your only chance is under our banner. All hail King Sombra!!!! All hail the Crystal King!!!!! Long Live The Crystal Empire!!!!!!


Meh you will never know when Night Mare Moon may appear again... :)


the reason Luna began the Lunar Republic was because of Bide, she had all rights to rebel. plus we could finally loose the grasp from the vicious tyrant


i think in the pony nation more like nazi germany, like you have the pegasus are like the waffen, the unicorns are like the master race because the magic and the earth ponys are like the proles.


why can't Luna and Celestia be in peace.

but anyway.
Celestia!

but Luna for cuteness.


I got so many russian songs in the related box.


@111Kur What, you mean a full orchestral score? For what might I ask?


Cadence is merely part of royal family, and does not actually rule over Equestria. Perhaps over a certain part of Equestria, but nothing else.


This song is not original. The original is called "March onwards, Comrades" by Oliver Codd.


I agree, Cadence is alright, but she's no ruler. XD


Laughs, right as if that would ever happen.


@psychgoth In Skype you were all liek, "I can't wait to release this! *Link*"
So I listened to it and came.


hear hear. Also I thought the Lunar Republic was during the Nightmare Moon X Celestia war?


@Nuthriz But that's the funny part! It's supposed to be idolizing their great leader. Kinda like what was in the old Soviet Anthem.
And there's a cult of Virgin Mary? O.o


I was inspired by that song, but this IS an original piece of music.


Touche.
still, i support the New Lunar Republic


NEIN, ZIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! ONLY LUNA COMMANDS MY LOYALTY!
(but this is seriously good, love it :D do a NLR one!)


Hey dude! Sorry I didn't get this 3 weeks ago. I miss a lot of comments that just don't show up in my alerts. I don't have any means to publish a credible score but I can send you a midi via Skype if you want. You can just find me under Bagpipe Brony.


@psychgoth I am proud of the past of their country!
But the style of the music and the background of the video have a link to the USSR

Why don't you do something about america?


He sait u shan't take side on either the NLR nor the SE... About 2 Months later u make the "For the New Lunar Republic" Remix^^ Gut gemacht, weiter so!


i beg to differ. to many, Luna has bide for Celestia, (according to fan-fics n shit) she was forming something called the New Lunar Republic, to rebel against her. besides this is only for fun, we don't really hate each other. we just love taking sides


Sorry, I meant Goddess. My bad. And I suppose it can be debated as to whether Celestia is an actual god or just an extremely powerful and long living Pony. But that statement wasn't meant to be taken literally...


@DarkraiDiety Simple, all my songs have a highly sophisticated and until now thoroughly undetectable mind control signal. c:


In soviet Equestria, Celestia shoots you.


@Lottanubs Me too! ^^
wait, when did you first get wind of this? O.o


@redskinsguy92 And now the floodgates for bad jokes hath been opened. Lol If I had a dollar for every Soviet joke I've seen I'd have a real orchestra playing this xD


Maybe, but when she changes her mind.... *evil chrysalis laugh*


As long as a citizen supports both princess they are true. Civil war is not something you can joke about, and becomes silly if you start one just because you like one of the rulers over the other. (myself, Luna is my favorite but i have much resoect for Celestia)


We have 3 crowns. You forgot Princess Cadence.


If ponies decide to rebel or revolt against Celestia, then she might refuse to raise the sun, and if she decides to do that, then everypony's bucked. Their plants and crops won't be able to grow, causing ponies to run out of food and starve. Starvation will make way for desperation and Equestria would be in a state of unrest and chaos. Equestria needs it's golden sun, and therefore, they need Celestia to maintain order and harmony.


HERESY TO THE CROWN! wait, no we have two crowns...scheisse.
It's not so bad, it's like the day and night shift ^^


Celestia: Russia
Nightmare-moon: England
Luna: France
Discord: AMERICA


laughs and I support the Guardians of Harmony, Discord will not trick me.


@psychgoth okay =_=

p.s. Dude, every culture is special

p.p.s. Kalinka and Katyusha not a folk song.....


@lovetohate028 But this is waaaaay more entertaining.


@speedstriker It should...but this was cooler xP


@RavensDagger501 I know right? Such a breather from my normal fare.


I'm new so example to me the new Luna republic please


cause reznov says celestia is better..... THATS WHY!!!


Tis a lie Luna only wishes to protect us


@lolke12 It's Overkillus' voice, not mine lol.


mhh nice but still worthshipping Princest LUNA!! *doorslam* what? wait why should i like bananas? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*silence*


@SandJosieph I personally like Luna better. Because we both look good in black ;)


Sorry but no, Luna has never had any interest in rebelling against her sister and when she became Nightmare Moon she didn't have time to set uo a Lunar Republic (because she was a mad mare that wanted to plunge Equestria in darkness.


@psychgoth, Du bist gebürtig Deutsch oder? ^^


umm excuse me? but princess celestia isnt God the real God is in heaven silly.


Cadence is a mary sue, she's no ruler of mine xP


@psychgoth Wh-  Why would HE say that...?


@psychgoth I'm from Russia
This video offends Russian


Please will someone Tell me about the luna Republics

i think they just have Luna as there favorite princess instead of Celestia


повстанческий FOR LUNAR

повстанческий FOR LUNAR


@MattaTatta92 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO don't start those! xD


For the new lunar republic solar empire will fall !!!!

I have a ID : named ronald joshua...

Учи английский, чел :)


very soon... Celestia will meet with a terrible fate ... won't she ... and then who will lead us? with her silver light and wisdom she would bring into this world, we would resist the ultimate doom that Celestia will bring. the empire will fall -NLR


Is this some kind of rip off of God Save Our Queen the UK national anthem


You don't have any notation software? And you have me added? I don't recognize your name sorry ^^;

@Dr33J Boo. its the year 2012, we have no need for "books' and "reading".


@Swordflash4  sorry but.....That's totally what he said


Agreed, she is also a horrible character along with most the cheaply writen episode, only redeemed by some good songs and battles.
