String Quartet String Quartet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.852939 Composed by Nino Rota. Arranged by Matthew Naughtin. Contemporary. Score and parts. 8 pages. Matthew Naughtin #5217761. Published by Matthew Naughtin (A0.852939). Nino Rota's iconic score for The Godfather almost won an Academy Award. However, the nomination was withdrawn after the Academy discovered that the "Love Theme" was a rewritten version of Rota's music from the 1958 film Fortunella. Nonetheless, the melancholy waltz tune went on to become a hit song, "Speak Softly Love" with lyrics by Larry Kusik. This lush, romantic arrangement for string quartet captures the wistful flavor of Rota's beautiful theme. The file contains the full score and all four parts.Come see more of my music at www.mattnaughtinmusic.com This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
