Cavatina was written by British composer Stanley Myers in 1969 and recorded by classical guitarist John Williams for the film The Walking Stick (1970). It had originally been written for piano, but at Williams' invitation Myers re-wrote it for guitar and expanded it. It was popularized as the theme from the film The Deer Hunter some eight years later.
