Hi. And thank you for taking the time to read this post.
I have written a track (Silent Night)...

Please let me know what you think i did well and what could be better.
I love hearing feedback from the community!
Here is the Brief...
Lots of INSTRUMENTAL COVERS of PUBLIC DOMAIN CHRISTMAS SONGS in ANY GENRE are needed by an AWESOME Music Licensing Company known for landing major placements in TV shows, films, and big-brand TV Commercials!
This Company is on the hunt for Instrumental Covers in ALL Tempos that could be found on a playlist with these examples:
"Carol of the Bells" by George Winston
"Silent Night" by 2CELLOS
"O Little Town of Bethlehem" by Starry Bay Trio
Please submit Instrumental Covers of Public Domain Christmas Songs (in any commercially viable genre) infused with a holiday-ready sound and spirit! Your submissions should have festive motifs, solid musicianship, contemporary production, and widespread commercial appeal. Since a wide range of styles is welcome, instrumentation can vary depending on the creative direction you take. Adding holiday touches like sleigh bells or glockenspiel could help enhance the "Christmas" vibe, but don't overdo it! While some artistic freedom can be taken with the melody, your recordings need to be clearly and instantly recognizable as the original work. Arrangements can span from traditional and warm to modern and stylized, as long as the overall vibe feels current, cohesive, and top-quality. Live instrumentation is highly encouraged for this request, but if you're using virtual instruments or samples, please be sure they're high-quality, realistic-sounding, and not dated-sounding.
This Company is open to hearing Instrumentals in most of the popular/commercially viable genres, including (but not limited to): Jazz, Orchestral, Pop, EDM, Hip-Hop, R&B/Soul, Folk, Rock, etc. We recommend avoiding submitting anything in genres that don't have a lot of mainstream appeal.
Looking for critique on my composition.

Re: Looking for critique on my composition.
Hey D7 - It's nicely played and put together. I feel like it doesn't really fall into a recognizable genre and the synth pads give it a bit of a dated feel. Also, my understanding is that lead electric guitar tones like this can be problematic playing under dialog. And finally, again my understanding, key changes are generally a no-no for sync, you don't want the viewers attention to be diverted to the music in the middle of a scene.
Hope that helps!
