Composed by Nino Rota and conducted by Carmine Coppola. Released on The Godfather Part II OST in 1974
as track no. 3 `Kay`.
After the melody we know from the tracks The New Godfather and Sicilian Pastorale opens this piece, the
original theme is introduced and later closed by a segment of The Godfather Waltz. This is a transposal from
the flutes, string section, clarinet and piano to the mandolin. The tuning is standard GDae.
