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. In 1973, Cleo Laine wrote lyrics and recorded the song as "He Was Beautiful", accompanied by Williams.Īfter the release of The Deer Hunter in 1978, Williams' instrumental version became a UK Top 20 hit in 1979. In this form, it was first used for the film The Walking Stick (1970), and first released on Williams' 1971 album Changes. It had originally been written for piano, but at Williams' invitation Myers re-wrote it for guitar and expanded it. The piece had been recorded in 1969 by classical guitarist John Williams at Olympic Sound Studios in London, long before the film that made it famous. The Italian musical term cavatina is frequently applied to any simple, melodious air. " Cavatina" is a 1970 classical guitar piece by British composer Stanley Myers written for the film The Walking Stick (1970), and popularised as the theme from The Deer Hunter some eight years later.
