Piano Duet: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (Theme)
8"BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL!"
Having done a piano duet rendition of the original 1980s "ThunderCats" theme, I felt I had an obligation at some point to do the theme tune for the other major cartoon of the 80s involving a hero with a magical sword: "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe." This is also a piano duet rendition.
The series takes place on Eternia, a planet of magic, myth and fantasy. Its lead character is Prince Adam, the young son of Eternia's rulers, King Randor and Queen Marlena. Whenever Prince Adam holds the Sword of Power aloft and proclaims "By the Power of Grayskull! I have the power!” he is endowed with "fabulous secret powers" and transformed into He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe. Together with his close allies, Battle Cat (who undergoes a similar transformation from being Adam's cowardly pet tiger Cringer), The Sorceress, Teela, Man-At-Arms and Orko, He-Man uses his powers to defend Eternia from the evil forces of Skeletor. Skeletor's main goal is to conquer the mysterious fortress of Castle Grayskull, from which He-Man draws his powers. If successful, Skeletor would have enough power to rule all of Eternia and possibly the entire universe.
