Composed by Carmen Coppola. Arranged by Sjoerd van der Veen. This edition: pdf, streaming. Chamber, Classical, Film/TV, Multicultural, Wedding, World. 7 pages. Sjoerd van der Veen #163815. Published by Sjoerd van der Veen (A0.555155).Bring the authentic, festive, and dramatic 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 loved by audiences worldwide.
Expertly reimagined for Horn Quartet (4 Horns in F) by Sjoerd van der Veen, this arrangement perfectly captures the fiery energy, crisp staccatos, and sudden dramatic contrasts of the original film score.
True to Sjoerd's distinctive arranging style, the piece does not rely on passive accompaniment. The infectious mazurka pulse, the operatic counter-melodies, and the powerful accentuations are masterfully shared across all four parts, ensuring every player is fully engaged. It demands sharp articulation, precise rhythmic synchronization, and sudden dynamic control (such as the soaring ff tuttis switching to intense p sub. lines). An incredibly fun, high-energy crowd-pleaser and a spectacular encore for any horn ensemble recital!
Grade 3.5 (Advanced Intermediate).
