Composed and conducted by Carmine Coppola. Released on The Godfather Part III OST in 1990
as track no. 10 `The Godfather Intermezzo`.
Transposal to the mandolin in standard tuning GDae. This could follow either the higher voice of the string
choir, or the lower voice of the cello. After the intro by the brass section, both are playing together throughout the piece until the outro, which
is were the melody of Nino Rota`s The New Godfather is briefly used.
