Composer of the Mohicans

Composer brings silent film to lifeAmerican Indian composer Brent Michael Davids took his fascination for the story "The Last of the Mohicans" to the next level by creating a score for the 1920 silent version of the film.

Davids, whose composing career spans 30 years, premiered his full score for the 1920 film "The Last of the Mohicans" at the opening event of the 4th annual Syracuse International Film Festival in Syracuse, N.Y., April 18. Davids, who plays the Native flute, joined the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra to perform his original soundtrack live at the event.
