Nino Rota (3 December 1911 – 10 April 1979) was an Italian composer best known for his film scores.
Rota Rooting
Rota is best known for his collaboration with Federico Fellini, for whom he composed the music for masterpieces like La Strada, Nights of Cabiria, and 8 1/2. But Rota also worked with other acclaimed directors, such as Luchino Visconti, Franco Zeffirelli, and Francis Ford Coppola. -- “Why Nino Rota’s Score for ‘The Godfather’ is So Memorable“ at ums.org
Today, my friends, I will devote a
Birthday verse to Nino Rota,
So mix yourself a dry martini;
And pick a movie by Fellini,
Or recollect how very well he
Caught the mood of Zeffirelli;
Or note his Oscar-winning job
When Coppola portrayed the mob.
And thus I say from Minnesota.
“Happy Birthday, Nino Rota!”
