?The Twentieth CenturyFox Trademark? fanfare was written in 1933 by Alfred Newman, who was the headof Fox's music department (1940 to 1960). By the 1970s, the fanfare (as well asthe Twentieth Century Fox logo) had been phased out of their films. However,George Lucas liked it so much that he insisted it be used for his Star Warsfilms, making the logo and fanfare a staple of the cinematic experience.

John Williams hassaid that Star Wars?s Main Title music was meant to be an extension of thisfanfare, writing it in the same key as Newman?s fanfare and becoming part andparcel of the scores to Star Wars (with Sony including it on each of the soundtracks).

Thisarrangement includes an optional drum kit part. It is a greatnumber to open any concert. Here is a recording of the original fanfare fromYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoWp1jluo6c.

I've made this arrangement in 2012 for my String Quartet, since then we have played it lots of times and the audience loved it. It's a very clear arrangement it has bowings, so You'll be able to learn it fast, without too much rehearsal work. I recommend to spend some rehearsal time to tune well the key signature changes.
One more thing:
It's important for me to stop the waste, so I've fitted every part on a single page, so You can save some paper and ink, too.
Enjoy the music :).

This version is adapted from the rock version played by the Escala Electronic String Quartet.
