UPDATE: MY HIGH SCHOOL’S STRING ENSEMBLE WILL BE PERFORMING THIS FOR THEIR WINTER CONCERT!!!
Over the last month or so I’ve been arranging a portion of “A Dark Knight” from the soundtrack to The Dark Knight (originally written by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard) for my high school’s string ensemble (as well as a small group of percussionists). Because the real song is 16 minutes long, I had to cut it down a lot to keep it a reasonable length, so my arrangement is only about 6 minutes long, taking about 4 1/2 minutes from the beginning of the song, and about 1 1/2 from the end.
I arranged the song for Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Cello, and Bass, as well as timpani and mixed percussion (bass drum, toms, and a gong). What you see here in this video is a playback of the music I created on Finale Notepad, but the audio was made by me in GarageBand (because playback in notepad sounded terrible, especially the percussion).
You can download this mp3, as well as my sheet music for the full string ensemble score and individual parts as PDFs, here: http://floatzel.net/gronnoc/darkknight.html
Enjoy, and maybe try and get YOUR school to perform this song!
