The Guardian of the Rainbow was forwarded!

WONDER-FILLED ORCHESTRAL INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a very successful Music Licensing Company that offers both EXCLUSIVE and NON-EXCLUSIVE deals. They get tons of placements and are currently expanding their Instrumental catalog! Give them exciting, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Orchestral Instrumentals that could be heard in films like Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, The Chronicles of Narnia, etc., etc., etc. Your compositions should have soaring strings, triumphant brass, and light woodwinds used in a way that your piece will add a sense of wonderment! Please don’t submit anything overly large or too bombastic for this pitch. Leave your Taiko drums at home and bust out the violins and flutes for this one! Stick to full arrangements with a central melodic motif, build dynamics by adding layers of instruments, and avoid creating new “scenes” within your piece. Instrumental swells to help accent moments of emotion should work well for this pitch. Please, do NOT copy or rip off the music in the referenced films in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for feel, texture, and tone. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). Don’t submit anything stiff or MIDI-driven – they want authentic sounding samples that sound like the real thing. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Copyright. This Company offers both EXCLUSIVE and NON-EXCLUSIVE deals. The specific deal points will be negotiated on a Track-by-Track basis directly with the Library. Please submit one to three Instrumental online or per CD no later than 4pm (PST) on Wednesday, January 14th. TAXI #U150114WF

Hey, that's a really nice piece! I submitted one for this listing that got returned. The reason was this:
Nice compositional craft here, but the orchestral realizations are not sufficiently expressive and full-bodied for this pitch.
I'm not sure what exactly that means, but I'm guessing that it doesn't sound real enough? I'd like to know what you guys think and get some good critiques.

Any response is greatly appreciated.

Very nice composition and arrangement but i think the production needs better samples.
