Light And Night by Tally Hall featuring Nellie McKay was released on September 8, 2009. A free download was later available as of March 31, 2010; to accompany the purchase of Kate DiCamillo’s book The Magician’s Elephant.

Due to the lack of background information released about the production of this particular song, it is unclear who specifically wrote this song. We can assume that it is written by multiple Tally Hall members, featuring singers Rob Cantor and Nellie McKay. The song itself was inspired and written to match the mysterious, fantasy-rich aesthetic of the book.
