Editorial Reviews
Product Description
The score for Michael Mann's Last of the Mohicans is one of the most acclaimed works of modern film music. Composed by Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman, these 16 tracks wonderfully convey the scope and majesty of the Academy Award winning film. Features "I Will Find You" by Clannad.
Amazon.com
This is a production rife with odd pairings: English actor Daniel Day-Lewis joining up with the Mohawks; James Fenimore Cooper adapted by Michael Mann; disparate composers Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman teaming up. This last pairing seems a suspicious attempt to endow the score of this modern film adaptation of a junior high school literary evergreen with both a golden age of Hollywood dramatic bent (Jones) and a '90s-slick guitar-muzak veneer (Edelman). A strange amalgam that doesn't quite work. --Jerry McCulley

The reason that there are two composers is that co-writer/director Michael Mann originally tasked Jones (one of my favorite film/TV composers) with composing and performing an electronic score, then realized late in the production process that an orchestral score would work better for a historical epic such as The Last of the Mohicans. Rushed to compose a new score, Jones didn't have time to finish scoring the movie, so Edelman was brought in to compose a handful of pieces. Mann ended up having it both ways, as Jones provided an orchestral score and Edelman a mostly electronic one. This could seem jarring to some, but it really doesn't bother me, as I enjoy both types of music. I think the biggest issue is that Jones got to score most of the big, epic scenes, whereas Edelman's contributions are mostly for the smaller, quiet scenes, so his music seems more "background," while Jones' is front and center in every scene. That's definitely not a criticism of Jones' score, because like I said, it's remarkably breathtaking, but I think it's one of the reasons his pieces are far more memorable than Edelman's.
I like that the album is split into the two composers' scores, track-wise, as it allows you to glory in the majesty of Jones' compositions without being interrupted by Edelman's comparatively weaker contributions, and then to appreciate what is, after all, quite a lovely score by the latter without it being overshadowed every other track by Jones' music. I do find it odd, however, that even when divided between the two composers, the tracks are presented out of order to their corresponding scenes in the film. That's not a criticism, as it doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the album, but it is a bit strange, and I'm curious what the rationale was behind that decision.
I do have two major complaints, though, the lesser of which is that we don't get the full version of the aforementioned Clannad song "I Will Find You," the full-length version of which is over five minutes long; instead we get the short, 1:50 minute version used in the film. While it's still a gorgeous song, I really would've preferred the full version. My biggest complaint is with this version of "Promontory," one of the most stirring and perfect pieces of music ever composed, adapted from Dougie MacLean's "The Gael." The 6:15 minute version on this album, while, again, still gorgeous, is not the version used in the movie, which is about eight minutes long and has a slightly different arrangement. The album version even fades out at about the 4:20 minute mark and transitions into another variation on the main theme for the rest of the track. Why? Why did they have to mess with one of the spectacular pieces of music ever? Like I said, it's still a beautiful track, I just wish they had gone with the movie version.
Anyway, those two criticisms aside, this is pretty much a perfect soundtrack album for a fantastic movie. I highly recommend it.
The standout tracks, for me, are:
1. Main Title*
Love, love, LOVE this theme. I've seen some complaints that it's overused throughout Jones' portion of the score, but I disagree. For one thing, it's one of the most epic movie themes ever composed, in my opinion, so why use it just once? For another, it's woven so skillfully throughout the other tracks it's used in that it doesn't feel like it's just on loop; it's tweaked depending on the mood of the scene. Chills every time.
2. Elk Hunt*
Propulsive and guaranteed to get the blood pumping.
3. The Kiss*
I love that it starts out with the "Promontory" theme and then, slowly, the main theme is incorporated in. One of my favorite love themes from a movie.
5. Fort Battle*
Bombastic and everything that battle music should be.
6. Promontory*
Even with my criticisms of this version, it's still achingly beautiful, and probably the piece of music from this movie people remember most.
8. Massacre/Canoes*
Another excellent battle piece.
9. Top of the World*
The final variation on the soaring main theme, given a bittersweet flavor to appropriately end this beautiful film.
10. The Courier**
This is the one Randy Edelman track that I feel stands (nearly) head and shoulders with the Trevor Jones tracks.
16. I Will Find You***
Even if it's the short version, it's still lovely and a fitting sendoff to this wonderful album.
*by Trevor Jones
**by Randy Edelman
***by Clannad
The main theme, upon which the rest of the score builds and carries, is beautifully dissected and reworked for pieces again and again with differing feelings to each piece offered without growing stale or repetitive in its various layouts for soloists, chamber orchestras or orchestra, tying all the pieces together in what I would call a rhapsody, something many great classical composers drew beautifully. Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini is a perfect example and, in turn, John Barry's Somewhere In Time score was truly what I would call a 'Rhapsody on a Theme of Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini' as Rachmaninoff's 18th variation from that Paganini piece was the theme upon which Barry scored the Somewhere in Time sountrack and that 18th variation was not only an inspiration but actually a piece in that score, I recommend this rerecording of Somewhere In Time by John Debney. But I digress...
The main theme is here somewhat melancholy yet still uplifting, brooding yet sentimental, tragic and morose yet somehow vividly bright. The use of Native American folksong as inspiration was perfect (sadly, though this makes perfect sense, most film composers choose to "create" scores using heavily influenced or directly quoted works from classical composers) and leaves me wondering why so many films have scores that simply don't have any connection with the music. Perhaps the most surprising fact about this gorgeous work is that it was composed by a man from South Africa, but perhaps that is why this score was not tainted by European music of the period in which the movie takes place, in a growing United States, and for that I am very grateful as this is in my top three of great soundtracks (I have less than ten that I would put on the same level as true classical music).
At any rate, my point here is that this soundtrack has done what so few filmscores cannot do and that is to compose something that is, dare I type it, original, original music being rare as every piece of music is truly influenced by some form of music. Yet, against all odds, this soundtrack stands above the rest in its glorious minimalism and unique sound.
I love it!

Dem kann ich einfach nichts hinzufügen. Es trifft es auf den Punkt. Der von mir bestellete Soundtrack per CD ist einfach eine sehr gute Erinnerung an den Film. Wenn man die Augen schliesst, kann man die Bilder zu den Filmausschnitten "sehen". Großartig!! .., und träumen :-)!
