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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
@@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."
@@Solihull-i4p It is true the Mongols controlled a large part of Asia. But the sun never set on the British Empire. It included an entire continent. And at 24 million KM^2 in 1270, the Mongols are a distant second to the British Empire's 35 million KM^2 in 1920.
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 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!!
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.
I'm a reenactor for 35 years and have done many ceremonies at the watery grave site and at ceremonial headstones in Staten Island placed by Shaw's family and at Saint-Gaurden's monument in Boston. The most heartwarming event i ever did was in Pearl River, NY, where I met RGS' greatgrand niece. If you look in that woman's face, you can see Robert. She is the spitting image. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
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!
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!
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!!❤
"The Gael" is a celebrated piece of music composed by Scottish singer-songwriter Dougie MacLean. Initially created in 1990, it was commissioned for the Loch Ness Visitor Centre. However, its fame skyrocketed when it was adapted by composer Trevor Jones as the main theme for the 1992 film The Last of the Mohicans. It's not called "the kiss", but these ladies perform it beautifully
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!!!
@Connor_JR Because we are all children of GOD, the Father. Our bodies are temples. If GOD had intended for us to have tattoos, we would have been created with them! I am 3/4 Irish, and I don't have a single tattoo. Tradition?... PSH! Tattoos are a sign of mental weakness, "I need tattoos to feel better about myself." Tattoos are a huge 🚩 period. That is my personal opinion.
@@MichiganWolverines_GenX1980 "But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God" - Romans 14:10 "Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door" - James 5:9 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned" - Luke 6:37 "Do not judge so that you will not be judged" - Mark 7:1 "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first” - John 8:7 It's almost like you're just a shitty person hiding behind scripture.
@@MichiganWolverines_GenX1980 Your rebuttal doesn't really make sense because you're literally listening to pagan music, here. And I'm sure you know that Celtic culture pre-dates Christianity (assuming from your Irish reference that that's the religion you follow.)
2:34 in forestry, this is a widow maker. I love in context of the scene; The Kiss, how you visually end with forestry, playing your instrument underneath a widow maker limb. Hand clapping to whoever suggested the thought for choreography. It's brilliant.
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!
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.
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!
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.
This movie had it all: music, cinematography, actors, history, romance, action. Perfect in every way.
And bad sound. Stupid Director was using a new sound system made it hard to hear the movie.
Yup , one of my favorite movies !
Why it outlaws in public education 😎
Still one of my favorites! Started watching in high school when it came out.
It’s my favorite of my top 5
"He is Uncas, my son...welcome him." Absolute masterpiece of a movie.
😢
Makes me cry each time.
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
Thank you🧡
Chimney rock? At least it looked like a place in the park anyway. Been a long time since I was there.
Lucky you !!! What a great classic movie. You must be proud.
No matter what job you did, well done its a wonderful film
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

I believe it was written by a Scottish guy.
Well who ever wrote it it is one great piece of music.

How can anyone not be touched by this.

I had goosebumps the second that cello kicked in
natural backdrop, 4 beautiful women and a masterpiece - just brilliant

These girls know what they are doing...one of the most beautiful songs ever written!!
This was the first "grown-up" movie my dad took me to see. This music always takes me back and this version is beautiful!
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.
No matter how bad my day is going I can listen to this and find peace 😌
me too. Greetings from Italy.
Chills, goosebumps, misty eyes all at once - can't explain why
It suddenly brings back the flashes of images from the movie like a gushing waterfall and makes me cry !
This movie was visually stunning! And the soundtrack is one of if not the most powerfully beautiful works I have ever heard.
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 best cover of this masterpiece I've seen. The sounds. The scenery. The beauty.
A truely beautiful piece of music yet to be surpassed.
Just amazingly done. I was in the film as it was set near my hometown. Since I had long hair, I was cast as an English and French soldier.
I saw this movie in the theater as a kid with my grandmother and loved it but your music....I'm wiping tears ladies....well done
Makes my hair stand up on end. Love the movie, soundtrack and this performance.
A haunting, mesmerizing, beautiful music that transports one to a higher plane of wonder.
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.
Thank you!!
It does. This version feels very big and full. But there's something I love about the scratchy de-tuned instrument in the OST recording
Beauty in the form of music. Always produces goosebumps.
Love the movie, the soundtrack is the best movie soundtrack ever. Great job.
Beautiful music. This tune is one of the classic themes from a great movie.
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.
The DVD I brought had the soundtrack separate if required.
Eu tmb . Assisti ao filme, saí do cinema, atravessei a praça de alimentação do shopping center e comprei o CD.

A song of freedom, fire, and rebellion. Dedicated to the memory of those who defeated the greatest empire the World had ever seen. Twice.
Fighting there own

Yeah, we told them to kiss the area where "sun not shine"
The greatest empire to exist was the Mongol empire, in terms of land expanse and reach.
@@Solihull-i4p It is true the Mongols controlled a large part of Asia. But the sun never set on the British Empire. It included an entire continent. And at 24 million KM^2 in 1270, the Mongols are a distant second to the British Empire's 35 million KM^2 in 1920.
The music stands alone as a masterpiece. As a soundtrack to The Last of the Mohicans it is made legendary.
This is an all time classic film.
Soundtrack is unbelievable and will be played for centuries beyond my lifetime 👌👌
You're all amazing but the Cellist and her addition to the composition was mind blowing at times.
Awesome stuff !
I've had The Kiss on my phone ringtone for 32 years and will continue until the day I die.
I consider this to be the most moving piece of music ever composed. The instruments tell a story better than any lyrics.

The tune is called "The Gael" by Scottish singer-songwriter Dougie MacLean from his 1990 album The Search. But it’s great on highland pipes.
That's a great album. It is where I actually heard this piece. He doesn't get near the credit he deserves.
It's the most beautiful piece I've ever heard in my life.
