Here is the listing They’re looking for quite a few ORIGINAL Instrumental Cues (no covers, please) in the general stylistic ballpark of (but not limited to) these references:
"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" by Chad Lawson Trio
"At the Nativity/Bethlehem's Stall" by Robin Petrie
"O Come All Ye Faithful" by John Tesh
Please submit well-crafted Christmas Instrumental Cues that evoke the spirit of the Holiday season in a simple, understated way. You could incorporate subtle Christmas-y accents like a glockenspiel or jingle bells to give your submissions some additional Christmas cheer, but definitely don't overdo them. Remember, minimalistic pieces are the order of the day!
Quoting the Music Library: “We are looking for Cues that are sparse and somewhat simple. Only 4 to 6 instruments maximum. Keep them simple and try to introduce some edit points along the tracks. Very very high bar, in terms of realism. Meaning, if any of the instruments sound too 'MIDI' then the Cues should be rejected.”
Your submissions need to be around 2 minutes long (nothing that runs 3 or 4 minutes, please) with Non-Faded, Buttoned endings. Do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.
