It's kinda hard to find metal bands with violins or cellos.(although cellos might work better due to its deeper sound)
Imo, the combination works very well with doom metal(since you can produce a mournful/depressing kinda sound with these instruments)
Apocalyptica have some cool stuff, but too inconsistent imo.
Check out Asunder...a Funeral Doom band with cool cellos.
Just some others that come to mind-
Haggard - Symphonic medieval kinda atmosphere with lots of doom elements...orchestra oriented.
Virgin Black - Doom/symphonic metal from Australia...They make use of cello's in many of their tracks. Should check out the Requiem Trilogy.(Requiem - Pianissimo, Mezzo Forte & Fortissimo)
As for the topic starter, finding the music itself is hard...getting the sheet music is goona be even harder. I suggest googleing.
