“Yes,
it’s haunting and universal in its call. The soundtrack version combines not
only the endangered cultural distinctiveness of the Mohican (we are to suppose)
and the Scot (in his ambiguous Britishness), but the emergent Canadian; the
eternal Celtic interlacing surpassing all.” – Stuart McKinlay Link to soundtrack (unsure of copyright status) https://youtu.be/aVjwBNsiOv0
Original Score (tracks 1-11) by Trevor Jones, (tracks 10-15) by Randy Edelman, (track 16) by Ciaran Brennan and performed by Clannad.
“Like
the Celtic knot, the Celtic Triquetra symbolises the Trinity, i.e., the eternal
One and the eternal Many. The three counterpoint musical themes of The Last of
the Mohicans soundtrack, though each is distinct, merge into one. The Many
interpenetrate the One as the One interpenetrates the Many. So musically
pleasing to the human ear! So Celtic! So Trinitarian!” – Neil McKinlay
