Brass Ensemble, Horn Quintet French Horn - Level 3 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.546997
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 #156940. Published by Sjoerd van der Veen (A0.546997).Bring the vibrant, festive, and iconic Italian wedding atmosphere of Francis Ford Coppola's cinematic masterpiece to your ensemble! This is a premium arrangement of The Godfather Mazurka (Connie's Wedding), originally composed by Carmen Coppola and masterfully adapted for Horn Quintet (5 Horns in F) by Sjoerd van der Veen.
Perfectly contrasting the melancholic tone of the famous Love Theme, this lively Mazurka kicks off with an explosive, moderately bright fortissimo introduction ($ff$) before diving into its infectious, traditional Sicilian dance rhythms. It's a brilliant, fast-paced showpiece that displays the incredible agility, punchy articulations, and rich harmonic power of the French horn ensemble.
Why this arrangement is a spectacular choice for your ensemble:
High-Energy Articulation: A fantastic workout for crisp, light articulations, syncopated off-beats, and dynamic sudden changes ($f$ to subito p) that capture the authentic spirit of an Italian celebration.
True Quintet Balancing: Written with the arranger's signature focus on engaging ensemble playing. The driving, rhythmic accompaniment and soaring main melodies shift seamlessly between the parts, ensuring a highly rewarding experience for all 5 players.
The Ultimate Concert Opener or Encore: Short, joyful, and rhythmically captivating, this piece is an absolute crowd-pleaser. It is ideal for brass festivals, horn choir workshops, studio recitals, or as a high-octane concert encore.

Horn in F 1
Horn in F 2
Horn in F 3

Also availble from The Godfather: Love Theme and Waltz (main theme of all 3 movies).
