I would generally avoid using tremolo strings for that purpose because of this:
Tremolo string sounds consist of the musician moving his bow across the string of the instrument in rapid succession. If the tremolo string sample is playing a quick melody like the one in the beginning, it doesn't sound really realistic. Although it did sound very different from what I'm used to. I would recommend replacing that with a legato sample, or a really slow staccato sample. The viola tremolo melody was okay though. The main problem was caused by the cello tremolo.
The first chord progression was weird, cuz the chord that sounded like a normal ending chord for a progression was in the middle.
When the bass drum starts up though, everything is okay with the exception of one chord choice, which just sounds out of place.
I wish this was a bit longer though, so I'd have more to judge on it. Oh wells...
overall, 7.2/10.
Nice job on mix, that was pretty damn good. I'm guessing you used Squidfont Orchestral, if I'm not mistaken?
