Hearing about the new trio arrangement of Schindler's List reminded me that I've been meaning to ask this question for a couple of weeks.  I came across this video not long ago and was astounded how well it worked in this form:

 

Does anybody know of any other Williams reductions/arrangements for string quartet?  I'm pretty sure he never did any himself, but what else is out there?

Well here is the Star Wars theme for String Quartet.  

This string quartet play the most thrilling version of Star Wars you could imagine - Classic FM

 

There are tons and tons of arrangements for various ensembles.  I've seen E.T., Jurassic Park, others for String Quartet.  Have done some for brass quintet, lots of arrangements.

And I love Festivity at Thornfield, which I think is Williams' only piece for string quartet, or at least the only one I know of. Who knows what he has hidden away in his draws.
