Like many fine concert music composers, such as Sergei Prokofiev, Toru Takemitsu, and Bernard Herrmann,
Nino Rota created a unique film soundtrack style for which he became known worldwide.
Rota was born into a musical family: one of his grandfathers was the pianist-composer Giovanni Rinaldi
(1840-1895), and he studied the piano, on which he was to become known as a gifted improviser, with his
mother. He also studied solf�ge and began to compose at the early age of eight. His oratorio L'infanzia di S.
Giovanni Battista (The Infancy of Saint John the Baptist) for soloists, chorus, and orchestra was performed
in Milan and Lille in 1923, when he was only 12.
Rota entered the Milan Conservatory in 1923 and wrote his (unperformed) first opera Il principe porcaro in
1925, basing his original libretto on Hans Christian Andersen's tale. About this time he established a lifelong
friendship with Igor Stravinsky. He studied privately with Pizzetti and Casella, and received his diploma at
the Accademia di S. Cecilia in Rome in 1930. In the U.S., he studied at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia
from 1931-32, and received an arts degree at Milan University (1937). During this time he composed
several minor chamber works.
He became a teacher of harmony, solf�ge, and composition at the Taranto music school (1937-1938)
and the Bari Conservatory (1939-1950) where he became director (in 1950).
Rota's first film score was for Renato Castellani's Zaz� in 1944. He then went on to create music for many
classic films by Luchino Visconti (Rocco and his Brothers), Franco Zeffirelli (The Taming of the Shrew
and Romeo and Juliet), Mario Monicelli, H. Cass (The Glass Mountain), Francis Ford Coppola (The
Godfather, which received an Oscar for best score), King Vidor (War and Peace), Ren� Cl�ment (Plein
soleil), Edward Dmytrik, C. Borghesio, M. Soldati (Le miserie del signor Travat), L. Zampa (Anni facili),
M. Monicelli (La grande guerra), S.F. Bondarchuk (Waterloo), and Eduardo de Filippo (Napoli milionairia).
His 80 scores for Federico Fellini extended from The White Sheik (1952) to The Orchestra Rehearsal
(1979). He also composed the music for many theater productions by Visconti, Zeffirelli, and de
Filippo. These film scores have a distinctive "Rota" sound made from clear, directly expressive melodies
and rhythms, unusual progressions of tonal chords, and often an earthy humor.
Of Rota's 10 operas, the exciting Il capello di paglia di Firenze (1946) and the philosophical allegory
La visita meravigliosa (1970, The Marvelous Visitation) were the most successful. Of his five choral
works, the Mysterium (1962) and La vita di Maria (1970) are considered especially fine in compositional
technique. He also composed five ballets, including Amor di poeta (1978) for Maurice Bejart, many
chamber and piano works, several symphonies, and other orchestral works including the brilliant Harp
Concerto (1948). In February 1995, the Nino Rota Foundation was established at Fondazione Cini in
Venice.
