The Last of the Mohicans is a magnificent soundtrack, bringing together a variety of types of music from a variety of composers to help express the story as it is told in Michael Mann's epic. Here is a look at the songs, orchestral works, orchestrations, and the composers, seen from a variety of angles.
Music is a personal thing.
Of course, a discussion on music must also include standards and basics, such as time signatures, key signatures, tempo, orchestration, but all that has little meaning without an interpretation. Here, then is one person's interpretation of the music of The Last of The Mohicans . While these Musings are written for non-musicians, they nevertheless present technical musical terms to help explain the music. It is difficult to explain musical terms to non-musicians, but the hope is one can learn a bit more about the music from these extra details. You might find it useful to print these musings and have them to read as you listen to the CD or watch the movie.
