(Orchestral, pony and non pony) Random BGM's

I'mma post some (shitty) orchestral BGM's I made to test myself to understand how to make good background music.

This will not end well. Anyway, this is a test to make Orchestral Background Music using a melody I once composed off another song long ago...

It's supposed to sound creepy and unsettling, yet funny. At least, for the beginning anyway. I've always wanted to try make good background music, so if someone could give some criticism that would be very nice :3

Rain1.mp3. I originally made this for my Theatre and Performance project as a test, but then I had scrapped the original idea for something else.

I made this for two friends who are making a cartoonish game. It's the game's intro cutscene, but it's not fully complete.

And another WIP intro cutscene for a boss level this time, the Roadmaker.

..Does anyone have any criticism? I really really really want to improve, and I've barely had any time to compose recently. Criticism would be greatly accepted, as I'm pretty sure there's a lot to criticize about :c

Considering what samples you have to work with, you are a very talented orchestrater! These are really great! I love the last one the most, I'd love to hear this extended.

I just got done with a Paper Mario Thousand Year Door session and this stuff is really good wow! I can really see these orchestrations in a game like that.

Thanks!
...Wait, are you saying that the samples I'm using are hard to use or that they're simple soundfonts that aren't easy to sound orchestral?
(Also, the theme of the Roadmaker was posted before but as usual left unnoticed viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6922 )
