I tried falling in love with the movie The Last of the Mohicans (the one from 1992) but I can’t. The closest I’ve come is having a steamy love affair with the Main Theme which was composed by Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman. It’s sweeping and epic!
Mr. Holland’s Opus was a shameless Oscar-bait of a movie that practically came with a box of tissues. It wasn’t bad though, so there’s that. My favorite part is at the end when the orchestra plays Richard Dreyfuss’s composition An American Symphony. It was actually written by the late Michael Kamen but let’s pretend we don’t know that. In this video, the song starts at the 2:00 mark.
The band Balmorhea specializes in awesome music. I’m sure that’s what they write on their tax forms: Awesome Music Providers. Here is Night Squall.
