Writing for film and screenplays, or composing for relatively small online fan bases.
For example, in the 1971 Barry De Vorzon and Perry Botkin, Jr. wrote a short atmospheric piece called "Cotton's Dream" for the sound track to the movie version of
Bless The Beasts And The Children. This was rearranged for the soap opera
The Young And The Restless in 1973 and used by stellar gymnast Nadia Comaneci in the 1976 Olympics. I submit it is the equal to any short piece of mood music ever written. Greensleeves included.
