《教父》第一集的配乐是整个“教父三部曲”的音乐基础，它由“意大利音乐教父”尼诺·罗塔（Nino Rota）完成。这是一张具有浓郁古典风格的电影配乐，其中的多首曲目弥漫着意大利的西西里风情，而且各种舞曲风格的交融给这张唱片增添不少亮点。尼诺·罗塔以他对意大利民谣的精深理解和过人的音乐天份为武器，写出了这部十分耀眼的《教父》，当年在提名奥斯卡最佳配乐奖时曾遭人检举，说其主题音乐早在他的意大利电影作品中使用过，因而被取消了提名资格。两年后，尼诺·罗塔以同样的主题音乐为《教父续集》谱曲，奥斯卡奖却乖乖的颁了给他，可见本片的气势凌人。在《教父》电影原声带中，“爱的主题曲”早已是一首风靡全球的情调音乐；“迈可主题曲”更以激昂的管弦乐点出了教父次子的悲剧人生；“教父华尔兹”配合父女相拥而舞的场面则最为精彩迷人。
