The Gael

 

Something for the weekend.  The Gael (the theme from the movie Last of the Mohicans)  performed by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.  Excellent music when traveling.

there’s a sense of “impending” in that tune, a feeling that something-big-is-about-to-happen

Related, in 2009 one of the PL’s at the US Army COP in Afghanistan where my son served was a graduate of St. Thomas Episcopal School, Houston, TX.. He is a graduate member of the school’s world-champion pipe band. You can see them perform on YouTube.
.
Imagine hearing the pipes deep in “Indian country.”
.
Excuse me while I tune in to more of the pipes. “Wha’ Saw the 42nd.”

That’s fantastic. I had no idea it was composed apart from the movie.
