Hi Guys!

I'm SO excited! My first forward. :shock: :o :D

It's funny because my French accordion piece was returned, but that was the one I liked most!

Oh well, write, submit, and continue on. Sorry, I forgot the exact words, because I'm SO HAPPY!

Thank you for all your help, talent and friendship! You are truly all so talented and an inspiration to me! THANK YOU MICHAEL!

TRADITIONAL GERMAN STYLE POLKA INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a rapidly growing Boutique Music Library. They’re on the hunt for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumental Cues for a travel-based reality show where they’ll journey to destinations like Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Please listen to the following references to get in the general stylistic wheelhouse of what they’re looking for: “Polka Music- German Polka” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMrOeO_4jIY “Tödi-Polka” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7T05xQ ... 265EC83473 “Örgelifründe Stockenfluh” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsQTPei ... iP&index=4 Please submit well-crafted, traditional German Style Polka Cues. Your instrumentation can vary from a simple duo with accordion, and tuba, to something larger that includes light percussion, stringed, and wind instruments. The mood should be fun, and your music should set the stage for scenes that travel to German beer gardens or scenic tours up the Austrian Alps. Build your cue around a simple, central melodic theme. Add and remove layers of instrumentation as your cue progresses to keep it from sounding too repetitive or linear. Please avoid using any instruments that sound stiff, synthetic, or MIDI-driven. Submissions should be approximately two-minutes long. Non-faded, buttoned endings with natural decay/ring out are recommended. Please do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone, and feel. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). This Library offers a NON-Exclusive 50/50 deal. You’ll get 50% of any applicable sync fees and 100% of the Writer’s share. The Publisher will get 50% of any sync fees and 100% of the Publisher’s share. You must own or control your Master and Composition to submit to this pitch. You’ll maintain full ownership of the original Copyright and Master Recording. Please submit one to three Instrumental Cues online or per CD no later than 11:59PM (PST) on Wednesday, December 9th, 2015. TAXI #D151209GI

Thank you, Loren! My kids are jumping up and down, and I have just gotten to give them a motherly lecture about the rewards of hard work. Ha ha!

Congrats, Henrietta!
I live in Austria and can completely imagine this being played in a local festival.
