Zerbinetta’s Aria, from Ariadne auf Naxos, Richard Strauss’ opera, will help the beach lover shut off the outside world while listening to the exquisite classical track.

Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D Major with trumpet, timpani, oboe, violin, and viola sounds will either lull you to sleep or perk you up as you stretch your limbs to relax and watch the world go by.

Other nice classical tracks for a wonderful beach holiday are Adele’s Laughing Song “Mein Herr Marquis,” a light, exquisite aria with a lively chorus, from the classic operetta by Johann Strauss, Jr – Die Fledermaus; and Jazz Suite No. 1 by Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich.

To get into a state of blissful reverie, among the classical tracks worth listening to are Polka and “Tea for Two” from The Age of Gold by Dmitri Shostakovich; Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 4, third and fourth movements; Schubert’s Piano Quintet “The Trout”, final movement; Varied Trio by Lou Harrison which features beautiful violin, percussion and piano music; and Terry Riley’s Rainbow in Curved Air which will get you in a trance-like state through the sounds of the electric organ, electric harpsichord, tambourine, and dumbbell.
