This classical guitar piece was written by Stanley Myers and is most famous for being the theme song to the movie 'The Deer Hunter'(1979). The piece had been recorded by John Williams many years before that movie was made. It had originally been written for piano, but at Williams' request Myers re-wrote it for guitar and expanded it. Before 'Deer Hunter', it had been used on the soundtrack of the movie 'The Walking Stick'(1970). As well as being a hit for John Williams, it has also been a chart success for The Shadows and, with added lyrics by Cleo Laine, for Iris Williams (no relation to John).

This song made the movie "The Deer Hunter" that much more poignant and the stories within more heartbreaking. Understandable but oh so heartbreaking. Thank you very much for posting.
Stanley Myers is a genius, very sensitive piece of music, brilliantly written, wonderful feeling. What Mr Williams has done beautifully is paint a picture, his interpretation is awesome. I just love this piece.
