The Godfather Part II is the Academy Award Winning Soundtrack from the movie of the same name, first released in 1974. This original score was composed by Nino Rota and conducted by Carmine Coppola.
Rota expands upon two of the three main themes from the first film: “The
Godfather Waltz” and “Michael’s Theme”, while “The Love Theme” from
the first film makes a brief
appearance during a flashback sequence. There are several new themes, including
one for Kay (Diane Keaton), and two for young Vito (Robert De Niro).
In 1974, the soundtrack won the Academy Award for Original Music Score/Original Dramatic Score, and it was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score.
