Legs & Co - Cavatina (alternative version) & The Shadows – Theme from 'The Deer Hunter' (Cavatina) - Top Of The Pops - 21st June & 24th May 1979 - stereo. Written-By – Stanley Myers.
"Cavatina" is a 1970 classical guitar piece by British composer Stanley Myers based on music originally written for the soundtrack of the film The Walking Stick (1970). After Myers expanded the piece and it was recorded by guitarist John Williams, "Cavatina" was popularized as the theme from the 1978 film The Deer Hunter.
The Italian musical term cavatina is frequently applied to any simple, melodious air.
The full version of the composition was first recorded by classical guitarist John Williams at Olympic Sound Studios in London in a session eventually released on Williams' 1971 album Changes. Williams' explained the origins of the arrangement he recorded to Soundtrack Magazine in 2002. Williams said the idea for the expanded arrangement sprang from Myers' impromptu performance of the main theme on piano in a London restaurant where Williams and Myers were having dinner:
We were sitting in a wonderful Italian restaurant off the Fulham Road in London, and they had a piano bar downstairs, and Stanley went and played those bars from The Walking Stick, but just the opening eight or sixteen bars, which is what was used in The Walking Stick. I hadn’t played [on the recording of the Walking Stick soundtrack music]--a London session guitarist had played it. But I immediately said, “Stanley that is fantastic. You must expand that into a proper, full, instrumental piece.” And then, about four or five years later, Michael Cimino had been given that record, Changes, by his production assistant. That’s where he heard "Cavatina", and then used it for The Deer Hunter.
In 1973, Cleo Laine wrote lyrics to "Cavatina" and recorded her version under the title "He Was Beautiful". Laine was accompanied by Williams on her recording.
After the release of The Deer Hunter in 1978, Williams' instrumental version became a UK Top 20 hit in 1979. Two other versions also made the Top 20 in the same year: another instrumental recording by The Shadows, with an electric guitar played by Hank Marvin, released on their album String of Hits with the name "Theme from 'The Deer Hunter' (Cavatina)" (number 9 in the UK singles charts and number 1 in The Netherlands; and a vocal version (using Cleo Laine's lyrics) by Iris Williams.
