Hi guys,

I have to agree with your teacher. In my opinion if you want this piece to sound good you need to either perform a multi-track recording or play it as a duet.

Would love to discuss this piece with anyone interested.

I suspect it`s just your teacher hasn`t figured it out yet. Doug Niedt has an arragemnt (available on his web site). Different key than John Williams (his is E Major). The trick in Niedt`s arrangement is that the 5th string is dropped to G. That moves the notes around enough so you can finger the arpeggios! I suspect John Williams is doing something similar.

To avoid misunderstandings,the composer of Cavatina(Deer Hunter) is Stanley Myers.

Does any one has knowledge of a good arrangement for Cavatina for Guitar and Orchestra? Or the score as played by John Williams with orchestra accompaniment version?
Some years ago I found one link to the free score of orchestra version in a Russian website. But my download failed. I could get only the Guitar Solo version.
I`ve since been looking for the score to buy for years.

If you are looking for the version that is played at the end of the film then this is an arrangement for 2 guitars, played by John Williams. They are both played separately. Personally, I believe that this is one of the nicest versions, but there are many around. JW shortened the film version from Stanley Meyers original and it has a lovely flute melody that plays over the top of the guitar. I have this scored out if anyone is interested, and also have a resonable MIDI rendition of the orchestra parts as well. I did it in Sonar, so can send this file for those who use it, otherwise it would be MIDI.

Don`t forget there are lots of versions. I believe that the original Meyers one was written for solo guitar and seems to be the one that most people play. For me, the movie veriosn wins hands down - just personal preference.

I play guitar and used to have the music for guitar for Cavatina for a SINGLE guitar purchased from a music store.

There is a version available (along with other pieces) at the following web site http://dirk.meineke.free.fr/modern.html

I`d like to play Cavatina on piano, could anyone send me the score? I love the music so much!!!
Thx ~^^~

Rubbish !! Go get the sheet music then change your guitar teacher! Of course it`s not impossible .. I studied this piece over 30 years ago and I still have pleasure from it today....even if it did get somewhat over-exposed on "that" film. I start playing it after roughly two years. It`s well worth persevering with have great to have in your repertoire.

would you be so kind to forward to my e-mail the notation and tablature for cavatina. i can,t figure it out on my own, its truly my favorite peice ever!!

thanking you in advance,
joeboy

Also if this is the version for 2 guitars I think some people out there could like it.
Maybe someone is able to put the two parts togheter.

PLEASE SEND ME THE TAB ALSO... I BEG YOU

Hi guys,

This piece is magical. I have been looking for the sheet music but no luck. But i did find a good tab as a second resort.
I heard a friend (who is a "very" good classical guitarist) play this piece and i fell in love with it the first time i heard it. The site for the tab is

Best wishes to all wishing to take the time to play this master piece,

My goodness is there any way to get the Real sheetmusic that JW uses in his solo concerts for this piece? I cant stand Tablature music and I cant stand learning a watered down version of beautiful music. Been playing CG for a long time as a hobby and I would rather suffer through the real deal as a good excercise at the least.

Hi. I`d like a copy of Catavina too if its possible.
send to btfman@start.no
please
