Instrumental to have on in background in different seasons.

For instance:

Winter - Classical

Spring - Ragtime

Summer - Ragae, Calypso

Fall - Jazz

What genres and artists do you think sets the tone for each time of year? thanks

Winter: "The Nutcracker" by Tchaikovsky

[Suzeecat]

I haven't listened to enough to get a feel for a particular season, but my son introduced me to "vaporwave" music, which, so far I have only found on You Tube.  It is described as:

Vaporwave is a microgenre of electronic music, visual art style, and Internet meme that emerged in the early 2010s. It is defined partly by its slowed-down, chopped and screwed samples of smooth jazz, elevator, R&B, and lounge music from the 1980s and 1990s.

Check it out!  It's "different" but not irritating or offensive.

Winter: Renaissance & Baroque

Spring: classical by Vivaldi, Vaughan, Debussy 

Summer: contemporary jazz

Fall: cozy smooth jazz ie Pat Coil's Java Jazz album

One we really enjoy is: A Winter's Solstice by Windham Hill Artists.

George Winston - he has cd's named for the different seasons.  What I remember as my favorites are Autumn and also December.  Take a listen on youtube and see if you like

Your thread brought to mind a CD I used to play quite often years ago. 

It's Brazilian Bird by Charlie Byrd.   Music written by Antonio Carlos Jobim.   

I just checked Ebay, only vinyl records for sale.

Sigh.

Make it easy and just play Vivaldi's Four Seasons on a loop.
