Cavalleria rusticana - Intermezzo sinfonico or as I call it the
music at the end of Godfather III and beginning of Raging Bull. I have no idea why I find it so moving.
Perhaps because it’s played at the end of GF III (SPOILER ALERT) when Michael
experiences the real pay back of a life of trying to protect his family. I am deeply, deeply in love with the
Godfather story and am quite sure I was a gangster’s moll or an Italian
American in NYC in the 1930-70s in a previous life. I became so invested in
Michael and Kay that I felt I was going through their marriage with them. Ya I’m sliiiightly crazy by times.
Anyway, that song, every time I hear the start of that
piece, I well up. My friend had it at
her wedding during her vows, I was bridesmaid, I am on video biting my lip and
looking like I’m trying to hold something back. To those who don’t know me it
looks like I’m screaming DON’T DO IT…except I’m just screaming DON’T CRY!!
