Conducted by Carmine Coppola. Released on The Godfather Part III OST in 1990 as track no. 11 `Sicilian Medley:
Va Pensiero/Danza Tarantella/Mazurka (Alla Siciliana)`.

Va Pensiero being a composition by Giuseppe Verdi from the 1842 opera Nabucco and internationally known as
The Chorus Of The Hebrew Slaves. Tarantella and Mazurka were composed by Coppola. This tarantella made no
other appearances, while the mazurka was first released on The Godfather Family Wedding Album. Very similar
arrangement overall to what they did with the track Connie’s Wedding from the first movie.

Transposal from the brass and wind section to the mandolin. Standard tuning GDae. An accordeon and snare
drum are also playing in the background.
