In answer - check out the Vitamin String Quartet (yes, its a string quartet) and their translations of popular music into string quartet play.

Most interesting stuff I’ve heard from a string quartet in years.

The only part that bothers me is the use of a piece of music when it wasn’t written for that intended use. To clarify, to use Handel’s music ,which was mostly written for Mass, for unholy events is just wrong. I much prefer original classical music in soundtracks like Hans Zimmer’s work. The music is written to fit the movie.
