Description
This moderately challenging piece was composed for Josh Malison in 2010. The music is written in a rhythmically complex popular funk style, and is light-hearted and pitch centric. According to the composer’s notes in the score:
"When I was in elementary school, I was a big fan of the television show Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. Part of the show's theme ("Go go power rangers") is embedded a few times in the piece and serves as the basis for a lot of the material. The piece prominently features the blues scale and the octatonic scale, often seamlessly moving from one scale to the other. "
