Released in 1972, 1974, and 1990 respectively, Francis Ford
Coppola's three-part saga is one of the greatest artistic
accomplishments (and financial successes) in the history of
Hollywood cinema. The latest in Scarecrow's Film Score Guides
series, Nino Rota's The Godfather Trilogy: A Film Score Guide
discusses the events that led to the realization of the three films
and studies and analyzes their music. Sciannameo reexamines The
Godfather Trilogy from a variety of perspectives, with special
focus on the music Rota composed to bind together approximately
nine hours of cinematic narrative. Probing Rota's formation as a
musician amidst the cultural climate established by Italian
Fascism, Sciannameo examines Rota's initial stylistic adherence to
the Mussolini-dictated or inspired concept of Italianness and then
his return to a more congenial 19th-century formulaic vocabulary.
Sciannameo considers Rota's involvement with cinema and his
collaboration with many celebrated directors, such as Luchino
Visconti, Federico Fellini, Franco Zeffirelli, and Coppola, and
deals with the sensitive issues of cultural analysis vis-a-vis the
Mafia as a concept embedded within the Italian-American community.
The book also discusses the sound of the Godfather films,
describing and analyzing the musical subtexts underscoring a group
of pivotal scenes. Relying substantially on Rota's notes, which are
discussed here for the first time, the book reveals the composer's
interpretation of Coppola's cinematic narrative and the scoring
methodologies he employed.
