Need Music Theme for Cinematic

I am looking for someone to compose a music theme for my upcoming cinematic Cult of the Damned. Here is some info on what exactly i need:
Sad, slow piano that gives way to maybe some mournful but hopeful sounding strings, then kinda ends on a more happy note.
Also there needs to be a kinda catchy sort of tune that people can remember well. (dont make the tune sound cheesy)
The music length should be between 2-3 minutes starting softly the fading out slowly. (no abrupt stops)
Well if you didnt understand that very well here is the way i want the theme to go:
1-soft piano music fades in
2-a catchy tune can be heard softly at first
3-sad strings join in but bring some hope
4-the tune can be heard again, but mainly with the strings
5-music kinda peaks, tune is heard clearly for about 20 sec
6-sadness grow greater
7-music grow quieter
8-tune can be heard again, music now very quiet, sounds hopeful
9-music fades out with sad piano music

If anyone can do that i will use it in the cinematic and include your name in the credits. There is no doubt that your music will probably be spread around because of this cinematic. Anyway IM me (UberZurg) or PM me if you want to do this.:D
I know there is already music out there that i could use but i really want a theme composed for this cinematic.
Anyway goodluck.:D

Paino and strings.
The whole theme doenst need to be slow, just keep it from getting too light, but do whatever you can to get a good tune.

I suggest you finish your campaign before going for extra's, Zurg16.

The theme is not an extra it will be an important part of my cinematic. I already have a storyline developed and as you can see a good idea of what i want for the theme.

And what if you can't get the important music for your cinematic?

Then i will have to work without it. :bgrun:
A music theme is important to the orriginality and quality of the cinematic.;)

I dunno about Zurg but i think most cinematic makers finds some music (or gets in composed:ggani: ) That would fit well with the movie and then bases that part around the music, while not loseing the plot of the story.

Don't you think you're being a bit too... confident that you will find this music? Not all of us are high-classed composers like Joe Hisaishi or something.

It's going to be VERY hard to get your kind of music. I think a good idea is to just find it... seriously...

I know it wont be too hard to find a music theme. But i really want a theme that is composed for the cinematic. And no, i am not over confident, i am pretty sure that i will get what i need. I am talking with edgen about composing a music theme and he sounds really interested.:ggani: kil-jadeen, dont be please keep on working on the theme, i really appreciate the effort. If i do not use it as the theme i will use it as credits music.:D
