The Darth Vadar theme, also known as: 'The Imperial March' is one of the most famous pieces of music ever from the amazing John Williams. It was first used in the 1980 movie: Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back and is played as the empire sends droids across the galaxy looking for Luke Sywalker.
The powerful part of the song comes when introducing the imperial destroyer Dark Vader. The song was played 103BPM and has a 4/4 time signature. Below you will find number and letter notes so that you can play it on the kalimba.
