Product Details


Product Description

"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. As the Italian diminutive of cavata, cavatina is a musical term frequently applied to any simple, melodious air.

The piece had been recorded by classical guitarist John Williams, long before the film that made it famous. Cleo Laine wrote lyrics and recorded the song as "He Was Beautiful", accompanied by Williams. It has been recorded since by many guitarists, such as Leona Boyd, Angel Romero, Norbert Kraft.

Derek Broadbent's arrangements caught my soul when I was playing the flügelhorn solo in a brass band, so I decided to transcribe it for a brass quintet, having less players around but still being able to celebrate this wonderful composition and arrangement.
