I often wowed..simply wowed by music I listen to..particularly music from movie soundtracks..sometimes the most sleeper kind of movie will win me over just due to the music in a movie.
Well one of my favorite movies, not by any means a sleeper is Last Of The Mohicans starring Daniel Day Lewis...I LOVE THIS MOVIE and I LOVE the music from it. I have the original VHS version of the movie, the DVD and the original tape soundtrack (don't have the CD version yet). Then perchance I was doing a YoutTube search for the movie in general..and came up with this indescribable delightful version of the main theme that runs throughout the movie. What made this version unique is that it is performed for the most part by Native American musicians....I'm part Native American myself and this struck a real cord with me.....so I just had to share it.

This doesn't actually address the discussion topic, it's just something I have been wondering since I first saw your handle, and it does have to do with favourite music and reworking of old material. Did it come from the English folk group of the same name? I'm sure Ian B would be proud if it was lol.

Yes, I guess it could be considered a "revision" of sorts of music that is "old"....LOL. Mmmm...no idea what you mean about the English folk group...who??

Pyewacket. A rock/folk group in the style of Steeleye Span, Pentangle, Jethro Tull and Fairport Convention.

Mmm...talk about being out of touch...the only name I recognize there is Jethro Tull and never really listened to him...

Thanks ever for the link..will give a listen. I was kind of disappointed in the difference between the VHS version of Last of the Mohicans with the DVD...in the DVD they omitted that beautiful song "I Will Find You' that was played during Hawkeye, Chingachook and Uncas tracking to find Cora, Alice and Duncan when the Huron indians captured them

I'm a real movie soundtrack lover..sometimes I'll love a movie, even if it isn't that great just because of the music in it.

hi pyewacket oh my thanks for the beauty of that music, it'was really so wonderful I can understand why it wowed you.I liked'
the fact that it was played by native americans too, and their
enchanting instruments. I never got to see the movie, and I'feel I have really missed something. It reminds me of some of my'
favorite pieces by Mozart, and one of his violin concertos that slows really way down and the piano and the violin seem to be echoing each other in the most beautiful music I have ever heard, and I never did really know the name of the band that played this piece . But I just knew it was the most beautiful rendition of this piece I had ever heard. It was a soft slow totally gorgeous piece of music.I know a lot of modern people never listen to classical music but I am a Mozart buff for sure.

I love classical music also..in fact, I'm into a bit of everything. I just bet they have Youtube videos of concerts of Mozart music...I know they have a lot of taped classical concerts...was listening to Rhapsody of themes of Paganini not too long ago there

Morning Pye's mommy...love this version!
I usually do like you and check out youtube to see any other versions of songs but sometimes the one i'm usued to has sentimental reasons to it..so i might choose that one over any other one..

OH {{PYE}}, That is a wonderfully beautiful piece!! I am listening to it for the second time as I sit here; So beautiful! I had never even thought to look this up
to see what other versions there might on the movie; But this piece ( this group)
of Native Americans are AWESOME!!
My Family too has Native American blood on My Father's side; I think I am however
the only family member that truly loves it.. I used to have a lot of this type
of music I'd listen to of a night when going to bed it totally relaxed me.
The instruments they are using here are so unique too! LOVE THEM! will have to see if I can find some downloads on them;
Lord Knows I need all the music I can to quiet my soul (G)!
TYTYTYTYTYTYTYTTY!! For sharing this with us here;

I have a lot of Native American music...both traditional type and newer kinds from contemporary Native American artists. Do a search on YouTube...type in Native American and you'll find quite a lot. If you know the name of contemporary Native American artists like Robert Maribel...here's one for you to listen...
