Looking for a compilation of movie themes, from the 80s

I'm looking to find at the least the title of a compilation of movie themes that my father owned in the 80s. Up until recently I had it on cassette but had misplaced it. He died in 1990, and I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with the title of the compilation, so maybe I can get my hands on it in some way.

I do know that it had Cavatina (from The Deer Hunter), and Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head on it. Raindrops was the very last song on the cassette. I have searched through all the soundtracks listed on this website that have 'Cavatina', but none of them are the right one - they don't have Raindrops.

I would guess the date of release of this compilation being before 1988. Also, whereas I've heard Cavatina as being played on electric guitar, on this compilation it's not guitar. It has more of an multi-instrument sound, without being orchestral.

I'm not sure if this is the correct cover for it, but I can vaguely picture a beige cover, with a small square picture in the middle. There was a deer on it somewhere... possibly printed on the cassette.

I'm not sure about the record label. It may be RSO (we had a number of RSO cassettes so I could be getting it mixed up), but I also remember that on the cassette there was a symbol which was a semi-circle with lines coming out of it, almost like rain. This info could be wrong, as I haven't seen the cassette for years, and my memory's not so good.

If anyone could help out with this, I would really really appreciate it!

Many thanks.

Was it by any chance panpipes-centered?
