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 #156896. Published by Sjoerd van der Veen (A0.546954).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, rhythmic Italian folk dance is instantly recognizable and guaranteed to charm any audience.
Expertly reimagined for Clarinet Quartet by Sjoerd van der Veen, this arrangement captures all the brilliant dramatic contrasts, crisp staccatos, and playful energy of the original film score.
To accommodate varying ensemble setups, this publication includes an alternative Alto Clarinet part as a flexible substitute for Clarinet 3.
True to Sjoerd's signature style, the arrangement avoids static accompaniments. The infectious mazurka pulse, the fiery flourishes, and the lyrical countersubjects are masterfully shared across all parts, culminating in a driving bass clarinet foundation that keeps the dance perfectly on its feet. It requires great precision in articulation and dynamic control, making it an incredibly fun crowd-pleaser, theme-concert highlight, or encore for intermediate and advanced ensembles alike!
Also available for 4 B flat Clarinets.
