The Last of the Mohicans (soundtrack)

Finally, with the release date looming, composer Randy Edelman was called in to score some minor scenes which Jones did not have time to do.

Jones and Edelman received co-credit on the film (thus making the score ineligible for Oscar consideration).

The main theme of the movie is "Promontory", an orchestration of the tune "The Gael" by Scottish singer-songwriter Dougie MacLean from his 1990 album The Search.

The tracks were reordered into their onscreen chronology (the original album separated the Jones material from that composed by Edelman), some additional cues were added, and Clannad's "I Will Find You" was no longer included.

Music from the track "Promentory" was used for a fall 2007 Nike television commercial featuring NFL players Shawne Merriman and Steven Jackson, also directed by Michael Mann.
