Changes (John Williams album)

[1] In 1979 Cube Records reissued the album under the title “Cavatina".

[2] The cover art was designed and created by the famous British design studio Hipgnosis, and consists in a manipulated photo of Williams's left hand, shot by Aubrey Powell.

The track, “Cavatina”, originally included only the first few measures but, at Williams' request, it was rewritten for guitar and expanded by Stanley Myers.

In 1973, Cleo Laine wrote lyrics and recorded it as the song "He Was Beautiful" accompanied by Williams.

The guitar version became a worldwide hit single when it was used as the theme tune to the Oscar-winning film The Deer Hunter (1978).
