ROYAL, CLASSICAL INSTRUMENTALS and/or INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by an International Music Library with lots of great placements in Film and TV.

This Library is urgently looking for several Instrumentals (or Cues) in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references:

"God Save The Queen" by Tommy Stig Sune Hansson, Ossi Bashiri, & Jan Hasenoehrl
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAJniMeESOU

"Royal Coronation Overture" by Patrick J. Brill
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utbxNvlfC0Q

"Rule Britannia" by Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zise8H2_rpA

"A Queen's Fanfare" by Sir David Willcocks & Philharmonia Orchestra
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjQO2q4JmP4

"Crown Imperial" by Sir David Willcocks, Sir Alexander Gibson, & Philharmonia Orchestra
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2TApks1Feo

"Royal Entrance Queen Elizabeth II" by Royal Orchestra
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmrNf60LV84

Quoting the Library: "I am looking for royal sounding classical music for the coronation of King Charles."

Please send them well-composed Classical Instrumentals (or Cues) fit for the royal coronation. Your submissions should have sweeping motifs, excellent arrangements, top-notch musicianship, and plenty of dynamics, forward motion, and interest. Classical orchestral instrumentation in the general ballpark of the references will work best for this request. Please be sure your production and any virtual sounds or samples you may choose to use are high-quality and very realistic sounding – nothing stiff, dated, or obviously MIDI driven will work. If you have pieces that could work well for a royal engagement, send them in.

Your submissions should be roughly 90 Seconds long for Cues, and about 2 to 4 minutes long for Instrumentals, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Do NOT copy the referenced music in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone, and overall vibe. Do not submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ Songs, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so please be sure the Instrumentals or Cues you pitch for this opportunity are NOT already signed with any other Companies or Catalogs. Any sync fees will be split 50/50 with the Company. You'll get 100% of the Writer's share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit. Please submit as many Instrumentals or Cues as you'd like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. NO DEADLINE EXTENSIONS for this request. Sorry folks, but we're on an extremely tight deadline, so please don't even ask! Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Wednesday, April 5th, 2023. TAXI # S230405RY

Hey Michael,

Nice track. A couple things that stood out to me - the snare drum roll sort of just sounds like static to me (not sure if there's another library you can use or if this is just machine-gunning midi but at the top of the track I did think it was static) and some of the brass/woodwinds feel like vsts. This might be something you can fix within the mix or with midi automation, but it may also be the instruments. Also, the mix of the sounds isn't exactly balanced - woodwinds probably wouldn't be as loud as the trumpets.

I feel like your composition is on brief and some production tweaks will make this track a great fit.
