Video game music is also acceptable for this prompt, and the same rules apply. My example is from one the greatest all-time soundtracks, The Mission. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui91q7Y9xPk The theme is sweeping and played largely by an oboe, supported with full, lush, consonant chords by the orchestra’s string section.

It is beautiful music, evocative of the Romantic Era (much film score music borrows ideas from the Romantic Era – see most of John Williams’ works).

The work is written by Ennio Morricone, who has a huge credit list of film scores, including The Hateful 8, and the iconic The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. (as a bonus for film buffs, also featured in the video are a much younger Robert DeNiro, Daniel Day Lewis, and Liam Neeson) *Full credit will only be received if you do the following things: At least 100-word original post At least 50-word reply post Clickable, functional link to your example.
