SKU: A0.540666
Composed by Carmen Coppola. Arranged by Sjoerd van der Veen. This edition: pdf, streaming. Chamber, Classical, Film/TV, Multicultural, Wedding, World. 8 pages. Sjoerd van der Veen #150798. Published by Sjoerd van der Veen (A0.540666).Bring the authentic, festive, and nostalgic atmosphere of a traditional Sicilian celebration to your next concert with The Godfather Mazurka (Connie's Wedding). Composed by Carmen Coppola for Francis Ford Coppola's cinematic masterpiece The Godfather (1972), this lively Italian folk dance is instantly recognized and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Expertly reimagined for Woodwind Quintet by Sjoerd van der Veen, this arrangement fully exploits the rich, contrasting tonal colors of the five instruments to mimic a traditional Italian village wind band.
True to Sjoerd's distinctive arranging style, the piece completely avoids static, repetitive accompaniments. The infectious mazurka pulse, the playful operatic flourishes, and the fiery syncopations are masterfully shared across all parts—from the soaring heights of the flute and oboe to the driving bassoon foundation. It demands sharp articulation, precise rhythmic synchronization, and quick dynamic control (such as the massive ff tuttis switching to intense p sub. sections). An incredibly fun, high-energy addition to any theme concert, wedding gig, or recital encore!
