Composed by Nino Rota and Carmine Coppola, conducted by the latter. Released on The Godfather Part III OST
in 1990 as track no. 8, "Vincent`s Theme".
This is a transposal to the mandolin from the string section, which is being led by a cello. The tuning is
standard GDae. After the unique melody, the piece closes with short segments of The Godfather Waltz and
The New Godfather.
