Cavatina (song) → Cavatina (composition) — These compositions are instrumentals, not songs. We disambiguate instrumentals with either "(instrumental)" or "(composition)", according to the guideline. Jafeluv (talk) 10:48, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Chase (song) → Chase (composition)
Memories (Harold Faltermeyer song) → Memories (Harold Faltermeyer composition)
The X-Files (song) → The X-Files (composition)
- Why are you proposing to move these to "composition", rather than "instrumental" as for the others (out of curiosity)? Ucucha 02:24, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  By "the others", I assume you mean these? In fact there was also this nomination, where quite a few pieces were moved to "(composition)". The word "instrumental" is mostly used when talking about artists that normally perform vocal music, to emphasize that the compositions do not contain lyrics. In predominantly instrumental music, I think it's less common to refer to tunes as "instrumentals" Jafeluv (talk) 07:07, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - - That makes sense. Sorry, I had missed the other big one, and only remember the Aphasia one I closed. Ucucha 15:22, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong support Cavatina is actually the name of a musical form (see its definition in the Grove Dictionary -- subscription may be required or content may be available in libraries). There are gazillions of them, and this one is nowhere near the primary topic. --Stfg (talk) 15:47, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Widely Popularized Sentence is Very US-Centric

At the top of the article, it's written that, it was "Widely popularised as the theme from The Deer Hunter some eight years later." Later on, it's written that, '"Cavatina" was also used to accompany "The Gallery" in the UK children's programme Take Hart, and its predecessor Vision On, during the 1970s.'

In my opinion, the first statement may be true in the US, but in UK, I'm pretty sure that the tune was widely popularized by its use in Vision On, the children's tv show. I recall seeing it often on children's tv before I had finished UK equivalent of high school and Deer Hunter did not come out until after I had graduated from college. The tune was already popular before the Deer Hunter came out. I recall hearing it in other places than the cildren's TV show. The Deer Hunter statement should be qualified as being true in USA. It should also be noted that there is no citation for either statement in the article. Interestingly, the "popularised" sentence appears to be written by a British person, judging by the spelling.
