Am I sombre enough?

I thought I'd have a crack at this listing:
Lots of SOMBER PIANO & STRINGS INSTRUMENTALS and/or INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by an International Music Library with lots of great placements in Film and TV.
This Library is on the lookout for somber Instrumentals (and/or Cues) that could be heard on a playlist with the following examples:
A Lie to Die For (from 1:15 - 1:38) https://youtu.be/9NIzl2PJp9w?t=75
A Lie to Die For (from 0:20 - 0:50) https://youtu.be/rZjS-e16nts?t=20
A Lie to Die For (from 5:19 - 6:26) https://youtu.be/l4sfc9zT_iU?t=319
"Undertow" by Scott Buckley https://youtu.be/mGpFFxNOiII
"Immortal, Universal" by Alex Baranowski https://youtu.be/XMGkgyazAvU
Quoting the Library: "I need quite a few cues that just use piano and strings that have a very serious and sad tone. The strings will be what I am listening out for – to make sure they sound as believable as possible."
Please submit well-composed Somber Instrumentals (and/or Cues) that feature Strings and Piano as their primary instrumentation and could work well for serious and/or sad scenes in a crime docuseries like Snapped or A Lie to Die For. Your submissions should have mournful motifs that capture a somber and sorrowful sound and feel, and have captivating instrumentation in the general wheelhouse of the references. Engaging arrangements with plenty of dynamics, forward motion, and interest are needed, as well. Please be sure your production is polished and any virtual sounds or samples you use are high-quality and very realistic sounding – nothing dated-sounding, overly MIDI-driven, or stiff will do!
Your submissions should be roughly 90 Seconds (give or take) 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.

Am I in the right ball park?
