I'm pleased to announce...

Forward #2 for 2008.. which is alsoForward #2 for January, 2008.. now THAT'S a first!!Les Lamentations de la Jongleurhttp://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_id=92450&stream=1may the trend continue... !!A range of great MEDIEVAL INSTRUMENTALS (no vocals) are needed by a U.K.-based Music Library/Publishing Co. for TV placement. This company ran numerous TAXI listings in 2006 (and signed many TAXI songs) and is now in need of more great material as their service has become very much in demand. Style-wise, they are looking for authentic Middle Age (from about 476-1400) pieces that include wind instruments like the flute, recorder, gemshorn, or even string instruments like the lute, mandora, and dulcimer. Think sacred and secular music for Medieval TV documentaries. They don't want tracks that sound like they were obviously MIDI generated - authenticity and great performances are the keys. Both instrumentals with lead melody lines and basic backing tracks that serve as "soundbeds" are OK - they want both. All tempos are OK. Track length should be in the 1:00 - 3:00 range. At this point they work mostly with prominent U.K. TV channels such as the BBC and ITV, but also supply music to other production companies that broadcast worldwide. They offer non-exclusive, 50/50 deals. Broadcast quality needed [great sounding home recordings are OK]. PS - I posted this on my site as well...
