It has been great visiting or revisiting the wonderful music suggested by everyone above. I love these kinds of threads. It almost always leads to the discovery of a musical treasure.

I'll give a quick "second that" to Mike Oldfield, Tubular Bells, outsanding album.

..but my first is Widespread Panic April 3, 1996...as loud as you can stand it.

Another vote for "The Lark Ascending", that is what I thought of when I read the post. It's rural England in late spring, set to music.

Other Classical offerings: Albinoni's "Adagio"

                                       Richard Strauss's "Metamorphosen"

That is his response to the end of World War 2 and I believe, finding out about the Nazi Camps.

For non classical:  Sara K, "Water Falls"

                               Mark Murphy, "Love is what it Says"

The last two are both beautiful music and the best quality recordings I think I have.
