Classical Music

I am making a slide show of nature photographs set to classical music for a class. I am looking for a classical music piece that expresses the beauty in simple thing, is optimistic (maybe in a major key), and possibly changes to a minor key at the end (the changing of seasons). I will have to write a paper on why I chose the piece and was hoping I could find something that went along with the changes of seasons, and could relate to the simple beauty of the scenery in my photographs. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

    Try Beethoven’s 6th symphony
    (that is just part)
    or
    Simple gifts from Copland’s Appalachian Spring
    or
    Boccherini’s Minuet

    I was also going to suggest the Copland. I think Simple Gifts would be great for this project.

    yes, definitely an extended excerpt from appalachian spring would work.

    also, Debussy, “clair de lune”

    or Ravel, “Pavane por une infante defunte”

    or Satie, “Gymnopedie no. 1″

    Or Saint-Saens “The Swan”

    Its not technically classical, but try Yiruma. I did something similar to what you are doing, and his work was perfect for it. I used the piece “If I could See you Again”. Check it out its awesome!
