Carmine Coppola - The Godfather Suite '2022

Tracks list

       Not at all dangerous, but no less powerful and devoted to one another,
the Coppola family have loomed large in film and the arts for decades. The head
of this particular family was not a Don lurking in the shadows, but a brilliant
composer arranger and conductor: Carmine Coppola. On the face of it, this album
is a bit of a curiosity, though it was surely the first recording to bring
together music from both Godfather films in this way. Its original release
coincided with a high-profile television event called The Godfather: A Novel for
Television (also known as The Godfather Saga). The extended cut necessarily
featured additional music and arrangements, which were overseen by Carmine
Coppola. We can safely assume that at least some of that forms part of what is
included in The Godfather Suite. For it, Coppola selected and re-arranged
musical highlights from the two films, including all of Rota’s main
themes and his own source music pieces, creating what is essentially a 14-part
symphonic suite. It’s all rather beautifully executed, with great
romantic flourishes, and it’s a fitting tribute to Carmine
Coppola’s talent, not to mention his contribution to two legendary films.
Carmine Coppola himself passed away just months after the release of The
Godfather Part III. A highlight of that final score is the ‘Love
Theme’, which was the basis of Carmine Coppola and lyricist John
Bettis’s Oscar-nominated original song ‘Promise Me You’ll
Remember’. The instrumental arrangement is included here in addition to
the Suite.
