I’m going to keep these classical

C. Debussy: La Mer
R. Strauss: An Alpine Symphony
F. Mendelssohn: Hebrides Overture (Fingals Cave)
F. Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 3 ‘Scottish’
G. Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde
J. Sibelius: Finlandia
L van Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 ‘Pastoral’
M. Ravel: Daphnes and Chloe Suite No.2, Movt 1 ‘Sunrise’
A. Copland: Appalachian Spring

All of the above are great pieces but I struggled for 10 so I’ve got to stick a bit of dross in to complete my list. So number 10 is

M. Mussorgsky: Night on a Bare Mountain

(There were so many more Disney options available. Who knew?)
