Instrumental Listing "Hush Little Baby"

Post by rsilva » Thu Oct 02, 2008 9:37 am

Hey guys I might just be reading this wrong but I'm having trouble understanding what this listing is asking for.NEW LISTING -- INSTRUMENTAL AND VOCAL ARRANGEMENTS of the Public Domain Lullaby "Hush Little Baby" are wanted by an established Music Publisher in Los Angeles. This company specializes in Film/TV and has signed & secured placements for many TAXI members. There are no specifications in terms of instrumentation or style, but you'll want to be sure that the recordings and performances are great. This is a Broadcast Quality listing, but excellent home recordings should suffice. They offer a non-exclusive, 50/50 split deal - you keep your original copyrights. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received by November 6, 2008.TAXI # Y081106TVAre they looking for an instrumental with baby lullaby qualities ?That's how I read it, just wanted to double check.Thanks againRick

I can't speak for Taxi, but it sounds as though this company is asking for EITHER instrumental or vocal versions of this traditional lullaby.Hmmm, I wonder how it would sound played by a marching band?? ,Suz

Heavy metal, electronica, rock, children's entertainer style... whatever... as long as it's well recorded and produced.

Metallica swiped a bit for "Enter Sandman", if I remember correctly (hard to remember some of those concerts thought....)
