Anyway, the Rohan theme on the soundtrack for The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers might be of interest to you.

Dont really watch the video, unless you want too, but the music is amazing, and sad.

Try this one out: Le Violon Rouge (http://imdb.com/title/tt0120802/)

You've got to listen to the soundtrack from Somewhere in Time. I don't think it's depressing, just beautiful, but violins can sound kind of sad when you hear them.

Try the soundtrack for The Assassination of Jesse James for the Coward Robert Ford (phew), it's haunting.

"Adagio for Strings" by Samuel Barber.

Used in Platoon and The Elephant Man.

Max Richter - On the Nature of Daylight: http://www.seeqpod.net/search/?plid=1e1f3d8b43

More a cello, I think, but beautiful and depressing in equal measure.

definitely chaconne by vitali - beautiful piece for violin, but its also been transcribed for viola.
