I feel like I could listen to Rota's score all day. The music somehow lives with the characters and permeates the world of the film, rather than being applied on top of it. Melodies from the score become source and vice versa. The music conveys so much – empathy, tradition, dread, and ultimately the distant echoes of empathy buried long ago.

No question, the music for the first two Godfathers works in a way few scores acheive.

I think the key is that Coppola imparted his operatic approach to Rota and the other musicians.
