I worked on this film in North Carolina in 1991. This soundtrack still speaks to me and takes me back to that amazing experience. Thanks for offering such an incredible rendition. Absolutely beautiful
Chimney Rock, Lake James, The Biltmore Estate, Asheville ... so many beautiful places were featured. It was a life changing time working on this one. @@sirtango1
This brings back so many memories of years gone by and my grandmother on her farm. She would sing in the early morning and again in the afternoon and again in the evening. Every day she would do this she told me that the spirits love music and if you sing to them every day. They will give you a beautiful crop in your field and garden. They had a 160 acre homestead. And it made them a very good living. When my uncle sold the property. The people who bought it couldn't get anything to grow on the land.
@@harridan. They did , they are buried on this land. And the acer where they are buried there is a small spring and this part wasn't part of the sale. We go and take care of the mowing and trimming and when I'm there I still sing the same songs my grandmother did. And fill up a few 5 gallon jugs of spring water.
@@ghostofcpast8893 it's also scientifically proven that people who deliberately stomp on another person's beautiful concepts and memories have no kindness or generosity of spirit within themselves. those people should never have children.
Four women, four bows and sixteen strings to fill a world with beautiful sound. One of the most memorable pieces of music made whole in the 20th century, made even greater by this small tremendously talented group!
@@stevegrieve9511 Dutch, German, English, French settlers vs French Army + Algonquin + Ojibwe & friends which were fighting the British + Iroquois + Mohawk & friends with Hessian mercenaries thrown into the mix... Sounds like a bit more of a round robin than "fighting their own."
You are lucky to have a father who took you to the movie; I hope you cherish every bit of it and the culmination of the music, and when they acknowledge why they had to kill the elk, they are thankful for him.
This is why women of value used to learn music. This is the way to melt men's hearts. A very evocative piece right up there with adagio for strings. Thank you.
And that is why a 4 string quartet is my favourite. They can sing triumphant and glorious, and then drag you down into the depths of sorrow like no other instrument group.
The original version of this moved me enough to immediately buy the soundtrack. This version is equally stunning. Trivia: While living in Michigan I met the granddaughter of The Great Sachem, the old and wise tribal leader.
You are very talented. And in real life this .movie about the French and Indian war took place right where we live. Mountains of new york and Pennsylvania. There are Pennsylvania long rifles kept by my neighbors that were used . The brought back out again to fight the British in the revolution.. love of America and patriotism runs soul deep here. God bless
I've listened to about four versions of this song and I like this one the best. It has something of an epic feeling to it. My complements to the musicians and the composer of this wonderful music piece.
I have loved the theme since it first came out and to hear those lovely ladies playing strings like that makes a shiver down my spine absolutely beautiful
I have always loved this particular piece of music since "Last of the Mohicans" first came out. You have done a magnificent job of recreating this piece with just the 4 of you. Excellent and beautiful work!!
This is my favorite song from a soundtrack. I used to listen to the soundtrack on CD everynight from 1992 to around 1995 until my ex-wife got sick of it. You did an amazing job!
Thank you for doing this piece. I've always found this movie's score so beautiful and haunting. Not only does it convey the emotions during the movie, but it always demonstrates, to me, what has been lost in nature. All those woods were cut down; my country used to be mostly woods from the eastern seaboard to the plains. I'm of Scots-Irish ancestry (maybe another reason why this music moves me?) from the Appalachians and of native descent (Mohawk and Cherokee). I've watched this a few times now, and when you realize that the artists love the piece of music and appreciate it just as much as you do, it's powerful. So it is sort of a gift to all. I'd be lying if I didn't say I am quite smitten by the lead violinist. Like the former Celtic Woman violinist. I can play tuba, baritone, trombone, and trumpet, yet the hardest is the trombone due to the positioning, which is so different. I also play the electric guitar, mainly because I'm a metalhead.
This reaches deep within and triggers great waves of emotion that well up in great sobs. It is a cathartic release of trapped emotion due to old trauma. Why some music triggers this I do not know.
Gorgeous music - gorgeous ladies! (I'm pretty sure you must be angels😇) Makes me think of the scene where Nathaniel, Uncas and Chingachgook were running up the waterfall/cliff to rescue Cora and Alice. One of my very favorite movies, and this piece by EFFE was stunning....Nice work!!❤
Damn, I haven't seen that movie in years. I am old enough to have watched it when it first came out. It got me into reading The Deerslayer as a teenager 😂 and after that I was obsessed with strings music 😂 like my Spotify is filled with David Garrett and 2CELLOS, always happy to discover a new strings group!
For some reason, they changed the ending when the DVD came out. I liked the VCR version much better, although it is still an awesome movie & soundtrack!
Oh how quickly I fell in love with these enchanting women. First time I ever saw or heard this. I remember how much I used to love playing my Djembe with a cellist & violinist. This song is absolutely beautiful. Thank you!!!
There are some pieces that are so brilliantly written that if you close your eyes you can almost see them tell a story while you listen. This is one of those songs, but it takes talented musicians to know the story and be able to make their instruments sing it to you. We could strip the poetry and art out of the idea and say that they call it 'musicality' in the business and there are technically ways to do it, but I prefer to let the art sing and weave its tale. Thank you for a beautiful interpretation of the song!
Очень красиво! Красивая музыка! Спасибо Богу, за таланты! Что есть такие музыканты. Без слов и танцев сил даёт Идти вперёд на встречу счастью! Когда грустишь, в душе ненастье.
