Browse piano sheets by Daniel Ingram on Zen Virtual Piano. Daniel Luke Ingram, born on June 13, 1975, is a Canadian composer and lyricist who writes mainly for animated series soundtracks. His more than 200 songs for television range across genres from pop and classic rock to Broadway-style musical theater. His best-known work is as songwriter of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the films that grew out of it; he wrote over 80 songs across much of the franchise's fourth generation. A range from classic rock to Broadway-style theater is a wide span for songs written for a children's series. Ingram has described both Alan Menken and Randy Newman as influences on his work. Five Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Original Song in a Children's or Animated Series came his way between 2012 and 2017. Naming two songwriters from different corners of musical theater and film may say something about where the Broadway scale in his songs comes from, and the Emmy nominations suggest that the scale reached the people who judge such work. Sung by Coloratura, The Magic Inside, also called I Am Just a Pony, appears in the twenty-fourth episode, The Mane Attraction, as the third of its four songs; it is the fifth season's fourteenth song. Ingram originally envisioned a full orchestra for it but settled on piano and sparse strings, and the song is a homage to Lady Gaga's acoustic versions of her songs. It was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Song. Starting with a full orchestra and ending with piano and a few strings shows a song taking shape through subtraction.
